I think they're often joined together - certainly the ones on our road (and the road behind) are joined. Well, at least they appear to be joined... whether the builders actually bolted them together, or just butted them up to each other, I couldn't say for sure!


As for building one out of metal and glass... sounds interesting, but presumably you'll need full planning permission for this (permitted development only applies if using materials aesthetically similar to the existing construction). And it might get very hot in the summer, you'd probably need air conditioning in there.

Hi, yes, we've applied for planning. It's north facing so should be fine. We are having a surveyor in to assess the pre-work condition of ours and our neighbour's but just wondered if anyone had had this done already and had knowledge of what it looks like. Will obviously speak to builder about the details as he will be one who does it.

    • Hope you find someone - she looks lovely. Unfortunately we have a 14 year old female with similar  colouring to Pip, who is not tolerant to other cats as she is the last remaining cat of the 4 we originally had.
    • Husband came back with a load of household stuff from Pound Land yesterday - he calculated he saved around £7 on half a dozen items.
    • The only time I fill the petrol tank to its' capacity is if we go to visit family in West Sussex and stay in the nearby Premier Inn for a few days. There is no bus service between family home and the Inn - so around 8 miles round trip each day plus outings. I can afford to fill up completely, but choose to half fill in case car stolen/petrol syphoned.
    • We are looking for a new home for a beloved pet cat, Pip. Pip is an 11-year-old female. Later this year we are relocating to Australia. The long journey, along with a likely move into a busy household with young children, wouldn’t be right for her — so we’re hoping to find her a child and pet-free home where she can feel settled and loved. Pip is affectionate and enjoys company, particularly sitting on your lap or curling up at the end of the bed. She has spent most of her life with outdoor access but is also comfortable indoors and uses a litter tray when needed. She’s small in size and in good health. Her slightly puffed lower lip gives her a unique and endearing look. If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly companion, Pip might just be your cat. If you have any questions or would like to meet her, please contact me on  07900 671 018 Thank you  Archie and the Sullivan Family
