Re: washing machines, open fires and living cheaply!!!
Sorry meant to add you get cling film-type stuff to heat seal to windows if they're really draughty. And with the fire on constantly you have constant lovely hot water. You need an electric blanket on the bed though, thats an essential!

Re: washing machines, open fires and living cheaply!!!
We live in a very cold place, and have single glazing and coal fired heating from a big stove. The secret with a stove is never let it go out ! Keep it on 24/7 set very low, and that heats the stone walls. Letting it go out then lighting it again uses more coal, we have tested this. (Although this i...

Re: SEED SWAP SITE - brilliant
I wanted some flower seeds but have none to swap, so she let me have some in exchange for stamps, which will help them out with postage. Very nice lady and very good idea. I will be able to swap some of mine next year

SEED SWAP SITE - brilliant
Somebody told me about this site, and the girl was really helpful and nice, and has fixed me up with seeds already. I thought she deserved a mention - no connection with the site myself.

get rid of rubbish ?
I used to have aviaries in the back gdn and when we built them, the spoil was dumped behind them, creating a mound about 3ft high and 5ft long , along the back field fence. Mainly big lumps of turf, with weeds all over it. Now I need to flatten this mound because I'm getting chickens on that patch o...

Re: Mites
I've now ordered a coop, from a local place who will make it up and deliver. Can you get Diatom in a spray or aerosol? How easy - or hard
- is it to get into the nooks & corners of a smallish coop? ( esp if you're as stiff and decrepit as I am
)

Re: Have you ever seen a ghost?
Oh Milims - I'd love a house down there, I love the Romans, they were awesome. People shouldnt worry about ghosts, the living are much more dangerous. I dont know anybody who got mugged by a ghost

Things aren't complicated when you know how, that's why I'm asking
Many thanks !

Re: Mites

Re: Have you ever seen a ghost?
I think it's the kind of thing that you have to experience for yourself - you cant convince others.And people find it very easy to scoff. But maybe one day....it will happen to them! :mrgreen: I think the spirit world is interwoven with this one, that our loved ones never go very far away, and it pr...

Re: Have you ever seen a ghost?
Yes, total believer and would never laugh at anybody's experiences. I'm training to be a medium now because once you start seeing things and knowing things, then you can't unsee them LOL I love it and its not at all scarey. :)
