    I'll have a look around for the plumber....but I think I'd have noticed if we
    did have one...lol

                  I remember a few years back, bringing our little dog to the vet because we could hear him 'yelping' every now and then, for no reason. The vet could find nothing wrong with him.

                  When I got home, the wife said to me that the 'yelping' had started again when I'd been at the vets with the dog.

                  It turned out that the battery in one of the Smoke Alarms was running low and giving off an intermittant warning.

                  Ask me was I scarleh?

I think you are doing a great job in the garden.I will tell you all about me ripping out a pantry 6 months after we moved into a brand new house,My Husband never knew what to expect when he came home from work.I miss all that now I am renting,but I can still paint...... YES!!! ^5
