    How damp is your home

    Blimey! count yourself lucky!!! We have had all the plaster off the wall, the chemical damp proofer injected, tanking, then renovating plaster, then skim coat on top.... Dehumidifier (which sucks about 4 - 5 pints of water out of the air in the house every 3 days), and we still have mould...

    WCMUT....what cheered me up today

    My beautiful old girl Fudgey (choc labradoodle) has had both cruciate ligaments done, bad back and lumps all over... but at 13, she's still got it in her to ask for the ball to be thrown (and grab it) to flirt with a handsome boy dog, and to be first at the kitchen door when dinner is ready...

    Pet Tracker/GPS

    we tried Vodafone v-pet.... totally rubbish, took it straight back after 2 days of walking all over new forest, only to see that it registered dog as being at home.

    Can I put Lowepro bags in the washing machine?

    HA HA! I wish you lived close to me - I have the wire of an underwired bra between drum & housing now, can't get it out - so Lowepro bags will be staying unwashed for the moment!!! :rolleyes::eek::giggle:

    Can I put Lowepro bags in the washing machine?

    Not really helpful Jeremy.... I have a silk Laura Ashley rug that they say "specialist clean only", that went in the washing machine and came out perfect. Perhaps I should rephrase my question - Has anyone put their lowepro bags in the wash and they've come out unchanged? thanks

    Can I put Lowepro bags in the washing machine?

    I've got quite a few, and one or two are a bit dusty. I'd really like to chuck them in the washing machine, but don't want to kill them Thanks

    Barclays Banking Rant

    Dig your heels in, keep complaining, threaten them with Financial Ombudsman, tell them you want to be compensated.... Worked for me with both Barclays & Nationwide... BUT DON'T GIVE UP!

    I feel your pain! Depends on paint & colour..... he has a TTS, within 8 weeks the lad who mows the lawn scratched it, estimates £300 to £700 (that was Audi!), as it will need to whole panel done, then blended into the body. however his t’other car got a small stone chip on the third day...

    Textured art silk paper

    works nicely with still life (if you use textures), also animal portraits (especially the very furry/scruffy sort!) Anything that's textured works well if the image is also 'textured' as it enhances the '3D' quality of whatever you're shooting. HTH
