I don't know what the official name for those windows is but I've moved into my gran's old flat and have taken the lattice bit off but all the glue is still there and I don't know how to get rid of it - trying White spirit but it's taking forever! Do I need to keep going with the white spirit or has anyone any better plans???

They sent me a letter stating that they entered it and found that I have an "illegal washing machine and dishwasher and now want to increase my rent by $100.00 a month retroactive back to September 2005. I have a visual disability that requires me to use a dishwasher to ensure I eat off clean dishes.

Up until recently, the begining of january 2007 I had not had an ant problem in my home. Then I started noticing some ants coming from the baseboards near my back door. I sprayed them, cleaned up any mess there may have been there (I keep my home very clean), and sprinkled some ant killer stuff I bought at the store down. About 4 days later the ants popped up in my bathroom, once again coming from the baseboards. I repeated the process, spray them, clean up and spinkle the killer down. Now its been a week since I've done that and now this morning I have a few in the kitchen that I have saw. Whats up with that? I've not had any ant problems before, why all of a sudden, esp. in the winter?

They do not look like carpenter ants, they are small, they very much resemble your standard pinic ant that you think of and see in cartoons and movies. But i am no expert, I to my knowledge carpenter ants tend to be larger in size than standard ants.

Any ideas? Time to call in the pros??

I live in a unit with a wooden kitchen, and it is absolutely teaming with cockroaches. There was only a few until summer came, but when I came out tonight to get a drink, there was hundreds of the small brown ones running around. I surface sprayed but it doesnt seem to help, and I have a kitten, so I cant ise that powder coz it could hurt him. Any suggestions?

I was told it was because my heater is new, but how long does it take to go away. Will airing out the room help(Unfortunetly, what is the point of having a heater if I just let all the heat out lol!) I don't have a sensitive nose as it is lol. I tried burning candles, does that help?

I have heard that it is better to leave your central heating system running at the minimum, setting rather than to turn it off and have it kick on by timer twice a day.
Some people also say it's cheaper (because the water doesnt have to be heated from cold each time?).

What is your view, is it best to leave central heating running all the time or by a timer?? If you have sources to back this statement up i'd appreciate it.




Watch out Britain. IT'S COLD!!

I want to purchase a corn burning stove. Don't plan on using it as a total heat source for our home.....maybe a medium sized one. What brands are the better quality and what is the poor quality stoves? How much $$ will they cost on average? What experiences good or bad have you had with a corn burning stove? How long have you owned your stove?
