Thanks everyone - I ended up going with a dual zone one as I was concerned about the single blanket moving around. Mr Wishbone is delighted with the new blanket! Now I just have to stop him from using it and wasting all that electricity - joking!!

Hi everyone - and firstly sorry for the delay in getting back and secondly thank you for your inpute. Since I was working with the solicitor for another reason I raised this. The solicitor found out the lease was for 499 years so we are not going to bother paying it off just yet. As the saying...

Thanks @Zenith63 and @Leo !

So Mr and Mrs Wishbone have very different opinions on the temperature of the bedroom! Mrs Wishbone likes it cold and can't handle the heat on, Mr Wishbone however grew up in a nice toasty house and wants the heat on. So after 20 years I'm thinking of getting him an electric blanket for...

Not sure where I can put this thread but so I'll start here - apologies if it's in the wrong place. My parents are looking at paying off their ground rent (to become freehold) to a company Birdfield Securities. They've been paying rent every year since 196*. This particular company has no phone...

HI there I'm based in Dublin and am looking for a Side Hinged Steel Garage Door (Oak effect to match my porch), I am getting quotes of almost 3k! I didn't think they'd be so much. That's not insulated btw. Could anyone recommend a company who they've used successfully and cheaper? I don't want a...

Have you spoken to your employer? I would suggest that you do any handover documents you might need to do and then meet and say there are no alternative roles in the company which are applicable to you and you would like to waive the rest of the consultation process and move forward with the...

Hi All I was made redundant from my company. Due to length of service the notice was 8 weeks. We agreed in a meeting that I could leave after four as there was a particular training job they wanted me to do before I left. Now it would appear that the person who I was supposed to be...

Thanks trasneoir, that sounds far off only one third making its way to the people themselves, we'll keep with the Trocaire box so.

It's that time of the year when Trocaire boxes have arrived in our houses. We have given up drink for Lent and the money we save will be put in the box...or at least that was the plan until my daughter stated that only a third of the money makes it to the people. Now that could be some wild...

Thanks sahd, must have been a brain burp there!

Ok thanks Flowerman

I don't know the brand just that it's an anti up draught one, hope the photo helps, it's like a stack of three plates

What's a PW salesperson?

Thanks everyone for your comments. pinkie123, I'll get Dad to ask about a SIM based service for Phonewatch. dub_nerd, I'll check out betamax services for sure, might be handy! and the throttling issue. Leo, I will mention about the camera issues to my Dad, I believe he said that the cameras...

My OAP Parents have a phone line which they don't really use. It was kept primarily for their Eircom PhoneWatch alarm and the odd call from a relative abroad. Now with the new budget changes it is costing them to keep the line for very little use and to top it Eircom have proposed a new camera...

Thanks everyone for your comments, I'll check my travel insurance policy more thoroughly although I expect it's not covered. The Ryanair fleet is made up of 737-800 series, Air Explore is 737-400, so there is quite a difference in the age of the aircraft. It's a personal preference and when...

My advice is not for the bus but for the train. If you are not getting your tickets in advance (which I didn't before when going to France) I recommend confirming the train numbers of a few trains (hours before/after) to your destination around the time you expect to be there. I went to...

Hi there We had booked a flight with Ryanair to Paris Beauvais - at the time the operator was Ryanair. Since then the operator has changed to Air Explore - a Slovakian Airline - we are not overly keen on travelling with them. The simple fact is that we would not have booked and paid for the...

Hi there I signed up for a Netflix free trial a year or more ago and didn't continue with the service. I got another free trial email this month so decided to try it out again. Whilst registering again I noticed that the credit card I provided the last time is not valid any more because I...
