I've just bought a house with many halogen spotlights in the bedroom ceilings. My first look in the attic revealed it isn't insulated so it's lit up like the starship enterprise. I'd like to lag the loft, but don't know if I can lag over the bulbs. Please help a damsel in distress.

I have a large green in the ground and 2 small red ones in tubs outside and am worried as I lost a red cordaline when it was covered and wrapped last winter.

The pressure gauge on our combi boiler has increased into the red zone and it says on it that we should bleed a radiator to let out the pressure. Having done this at a previous house I was looking for a valve on the radiators, but cannot see one on any of them. They are all pretty much identical so I've taken a couple of pictures to show what they look like.

I have 7 year old b/g twins and live in a 2 Bedroom apartment. They are sharing a room but really need their own space. Have any ideas on how to separate/divide the room to give them their own space? Since I'm renting it can't be permanent. I did at one time switch & I shared a room with my daughter. (Single mom) But I need my space too. I'm looking for a 3 Bedroom but the pickings in my area are slim, so it may be several months still until something opens up. I need to work with what I have right now. HELP!

(they're working late). They've crushed all the bags in a compactor lorry - does this mean it's all going to the landfill?
