    I was going to fit them, but my wife can't deal with the amount of expletives that come out of me whilst I "just follow the instructions" so a one off payment of £150 for an expert to do it (or as my wife said "someone who knows what they are doing, not like...….." so I just have to put the room...

    well clearly you have "Mice" in the house! Admittedly, big Bulldog "Plumpy" shaped ones, but mice all the same. I think a couple of biscuits put out may solve the issue. They are funny animals, I liken it to having toddlers, permanent toddlers, running about the house and our lives are better...

    @gennepher I can only offer you very gentle hugs for the terrible time that you are going through at the moment, I don't think you need to be anything other than aggressive assertive at the moment, as the update could have resulted in something more terrible than a banged up front of your car...

    He's absolutely brilliant, he has to go and say hello to everyone, everyone whether they want him to or not! I like having him sat on my lap as it shows he's comfortable with us. Betty Boo, my last Bully used to lie on me too, and she was heavy after a while.

    Morning all after a small scuffle with the meter of doom, he very petulantly threw 7 at me I gratefully exited the kitchen at speed, wondering if he wanted round 2. Not much to report other than only a small leap greeted me on my return from work, Sidekick Sid must still be tired from his...
