RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 21 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21 Talking of insurance, my household insurance is due for renewal at the end of this month and I received the renewal notice a couple of weeks ago. I got a shock because they'd hiked the premiums by 60%! I did no more than transfer my business to another company and I'm actually paying less for the same cover than previously. I don't know why they hiked it up but I can guess. In the postcode area there is the most expensive properties in Basildon, up to three quarters of a million each and they've just gone by the postcode. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that and the strontium 90 about then I am surprised I don’t glow in the dark! Even when you ate Readybrek? I particularly like that advert because it's set on a bleak, cheerless railway station in the BR Blue era... The area around Dartmoor is a radon hotspot too.

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted January 22 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22 (edited) Well, despite having all my notifications on and not ignoring this thread, I still can’t get it to show on my followed list. I don’t know what’s going on there at all? Even clicking on ‘content I’ve posted in’ doesn't show this one! Very strange indeed. This post doesn’t even show up on my list of recent posts! Hoorah, I’ve finally sorted it, it was just as Jamie had mentioned, I’d inadvertently pressed the ‘ignore this topic’ button doh!

SM42 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Well what a productive day. Seen my IFA, booked a physio appointment for Thursday and eyed up the attaching of shelves to the wall. We've had the shelves for best part of 6 months. I've been putting it off as it is a dry lined wall with an unknown deepness of cavity between plaster board and wall. I'll need a spacer to stop the screws from pulling in and cracking the plasterboard. I'd like attach to the solid wall. I've got as far as marking up for the brackets today.
