Hello - has anyone used a local underpinning company for their property that they would recommend? Thanks in advance. Suzie

Hi Kate - did you find someone? I'm also looking to have a cat flap fitted and am looking for recommendations. Thanks :)

Yes please, following this thread!

Following! Gracias!

As above, another recommendation for David. Our ridge tiles that had come off during the recent high winds and David was responsive to our initial texts, came round quickly to quote for the job and was able to fix the tiles within a few days. Plus also emailed photos afterwards for our own records. Incredibly affable guy, very trustworthy, and (I think) offer a fair price too.

Hello, I'm looking into all-inclusive holidays for September/October and a friend has suggested Cape Verde for the weather. I'd love to know if anyone has been, and if you would know of any all-inclusive activity holiday companies (a bit like Club Med stylee). Any travel tips or travel company recommendations gratefully received :) Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone! We ended up adopting a beautiful tabby from CPL last weekend. They were fantastic, did a home visit on the Bank Holiday (that's commitment!) and were great at advising us which would be a good fit for our family & 2 young children. Our new family member has settled in brilliantly and is wonderful with the children. Can thoroughly recommend CPL for anyone else looking to adopt.

Thanks so much everyone, really appreciate the advice :)

Hi there & happy new year! This year we would love to adopt a cat. Please can anyone recommend local cat adoption charities? Many thanks in advance! 🐱

Amazing, ArtfulDodger - thank you! Will check them out.

Great, thanks both. I really just need someone to check a couple of things which I can't work out how to fix, or tell me if there's a deeper (more expensive!) issue. Will check these guys out. Thanks!

Hi there, Does anyone know where is a good place locally to take my Nikon SLR to have the once over & fix a couple of issues? Thanks in advance :)

Thanks so much for the intel, everyone! Really really helpful. The tagalong things look great, but our two are 3 and 18 months so are a little young for this. One for the future maybe. The Niholas also look great but we have a storage issue and I'd rather go down the trailer route, especially if it can be collapsed and stored in a shed. Etta166 - thanks for your message. I'll PM you. And I'll also pop into Balfe's Bikes too - thanks Richard! :)

Hello, I'm a cycling novice & looking into getting a bike trailer so I can get some exercise & take my 2 kids with me on quieter roads & around parks - I won't be using it for commuting. I can't spend loads, maybe up to ?200ish (from Amazon perhaps?!) and have been looking online. Would really appreciate getting any feedback from knowledgeable cyclists who use bike trailers and can advise on the better ones for space, comfort & safety for the kids, and lightweight for me. I'd also like one that can transform into a pushchair, if that's not asking too much. Any advice gratefully received. Equally if you're looking to sell one, please let me know! Many thanks in advance :)

Hello, We've sadly been badly hit by a cowboy builder & are now looking for a new builder who can come & rectify our two storey side extension. We are looking for someone who has experience of working on compromised projects & will be able to give us a totally honest assessment of what needs doing. Please PM me with any details and/or advice. Many thanks in advance. S
