Home & Garden - 12 January 2007

My kitchen sinks will drain slowly for a week, then seem to drain properly for a period of time, and then drain slowly again for another period of time. At the same time, other sinks in the house on the same floor level drain properly. What could it be?

Alcove is 100cm, shelves are 120cm.
What is the best way to cut them to size without chipping the veneer.
Can you fit the brackets slightly offset or centrally ie take 10 cm off each end or take 20cm off one end

...Apparently they are all the rage up North. But i cant find anyone who sells them. It also has to be portable with a free Huskie and a sea lion that speaks Eskimoian. Surely, somewhere has to sell them! If all else fails, then i'll just settle for some sticky back plastic and make one myself like they do on Blue Peter.

I recently purchase some 120"L silk drapes from Linen&Things, I ironed them before they were installed, but they actually look worst that out of the box, is there anything that will eliminate all those wrinkles?

I see lots of people putting it in the kitchen, but never in the bathroom. Is that ok or tacky?

Tried pest control firms but they all say it'll be around £100, but they'll come back in a couple of months. What I need is either a good way to get rid of them permanently, or a cheap regular thing I can do.
