My house and I were on "Love the Place You're In" earlier in the year - has it been repeated? Edited to say: It was sold to other channels I think so maybe they've changed the name. Don't all rush for autographs :)) What the programme doesn't show is the problems I had with the builder and the fact that despite a six week extension to the filming neither the living room nor the bathroom were finished (still aren't, I was totally traumatised, haven't been able to bring myself to sort it all, AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH).

My central heating thermostat/timer thingy, which has batteries in it, was going haywire when I got up this morning. If the boiler is fired electrically (showing my total lack of techy knowledge here) could an electrical fluctuation have affected the thermostat?

That's rather a serious accusation without presumably any basis of evidence whatsoever?

Well if I hear any kind of alarm I investigate, and if nothing appears to be going on I ignore it .... But if it went on for days I would probably ring Southwark Noise Control

Sparrow hawk got a starling in my garden last year. Maybe that's why the starlings don't come any more!

If you're into folk music, come along to one of our Goose events, ask for me (Sue) and I'll introduce you to some people xxx See our website www.thegooseisout.com Next one is on Friday (8 January) , but if you prefer smaller gatherings, the Friday after (15 January). PS Met my partner at a party in my late fifties :-$ Never too late :-$

YAY! I've only ever seen one tree creeper and it was on the trunk of a tree outside my window when I lived on a farm in Herefordshire. Would love to see another one!

See here Mine expires at the end of March, but I have to renew it at the start of February, and it will then last for five years. See the link above.

Bus driver not letting me back onto N68 at Camberwell Green at 3.30am to retrieve my treasured 40-year-old hand crocheted shawl which I had left upstairs and realised immediately I got off that I had left it on the bus. I explained the situation and he still refused. Bastard. I have the bus number etc but he refused to give me his name. Somehow doubt I'll ever get the shawl back. Not a good start to the New Year. I had a very cold walk home (6)

I have loads of sparrows in my tiny garden. They come to the fatballs and the peanut feeder. I've counted over twelve at a time. Re China, when I was in Burma I was once offered a skewer of meat by a street seller, and about to accept when I noticed that each piece of "meat" on the stick had a beak and legs .... also went somewhere they had a dish with sparrow's blood on the menu. But Tarot, surely quails are much bigger than sparrows? Edited to add: My sparrows aren't silent, they are extremely noisy, they sit in the shrubs and chatter continuously.

Have you rung the water people? No problems here.

Even the starlings haven't been around this year :-S I think redwings eat berries? so maybe the few pyracantha berries I have left after the blackbirds aren't enough for them! The fox is still sometimes sleeping in the garden, but the other one seems to have disappeared.

I'll certainly go and I'm not a veggie.

How did the owner come to lose it?

No they don't (ie panic and panicked are not the same word and therefore break the rules) but it's always happening on this thread :) You are My Sunshine - The Pine Ridge Boys

Just found out you have to apply within certain dates depending on what letter your surname starts with - apparently I can't apply for a renewal till February! How are you supposed to remember this!!
