2 going round our area this morning door to door:thumbdown: Asked if I wanted the Ivy trimming, No thanks, cheap Mrs, No thanks, shiny new motor, sign written, both in company uniforms both wearing climbing harness. Something not quite right, and if the phone number on the side of the motor was genuine, they had come quite a distance to tout.

A regular enquiery on here seems to be about subsidised training, so just to let you know there is RDPE funding available for cs30/31 in Gtr Manchester/Cheshire For Farmers and Forest/arb related workers. These places are limited, but run regularly. They are heavily subsidised, but they are there for the asking and the money pot wont last for ever. They are run Through Myerscough It is a full weeks training 5 days and test usually on the saturday, first day is workshop based, rest is on the job. Hope this helps someone:thumbup1: There are also courses for B+E and other applicable course such as PA1-6 all in the link above.

No, I just went to the pharmacy as it was a Sunday he gave me some tablets anti histamine and some tablets to open the airways and relax the muscles, it just started with a really tickly cough but then progressed rapidly, I didn't mean the cost of the mask as like most folk I find them horrible to work in the ones with the vent in front seem better I must say. Adding to that the pharmacist did say that your eyes are just as vulnerable to absorbing the spores if you are going to prove to be in some way allergic too something, not something I had thought of before. An episode I never wish repeating.

Good points made there. Couple of months ago I had horrendous reaction too dust from Flowering Cherry not sure if it was the actual wood dust or more probable spores from the lichen on it. Started to fill up with mucus in my chest within minutes it was like I was drowning very very scary, lips burning and face tingling. Not ashamed to say it frightened me. All for sake of a few pence mask.

Thought the idea of a Decoy bird was to use one from outside the catchment area, as they dont like interlopers, and you catch more this way.

Half the time that is Exactly what you get! not unpaid, granted, but someone who isnt trained, who is working from a set script and only has a short term contract they know will end in 3 months, if you need a definate answer ask for their line manager, as thats how far up you need to go to get someone who isnt a temp.

Help - planting location as a legacy in NW

There is a place called Millcroft tea gardens in Norden, part of Rochdale MBC there is already some fine Monkey Puzzles up there the area would lend it's self beautifully to more, it is close to 3 owls bird sanctuary, closed for the moment, but would be worth speaking to it's trustees(I have no connection or personal interest) I hope he acheives his aim. -

Oil and sugar, no not sump oil! Baby oil, cooking oil or similar. If you use Avon SSS to ward of midges in summer that also helps to stop it sticking in first place:001_smile:

Try a company called LRMS But note there is a big difference in insurance terms between a working dog and taking a dog to work. Company above tailor insurance to the dog as much as they can. Including things like employers liability and public liability you need to speak to a specialist co, not a "pet" co

The dogs have picked up on the senior dogs anxiety at your not being there, their routine has been thrown into chaos, don't make a hasty decision give the old lad a week of tlc to re assure him you havnt left the fold he will re settle given chance. Old dogs do suffer with dementia but with routine cope well. When the time comes to let them go only you knows your dog well enough to make that decision, and make it on the basis of it being the last kind thing you can do for them, don't keep them alive for you. Those of us who have had the companionship of a dog into their old age should be proud and consider our selves lucky to have had their company for so long and done well for them .

If you havnt already done it, pour in your gelatine as you layer the dish up or you will get air pockets where the gelatine won't go, so once set it won't slice so well. Use some of the cooking liquor to mix your gelatine too. Best left to set at least 24 hrs. Enjoy:thumbup1:

Yes if only 16 you can only drive on a public road to and from the test, with L plates. Can't just automatically drive one just because you reach 16

Udder cream, dont confuse it with udder mint:thumbdown: This one is very good, and it is anti bacterial, any ag merchants or horsey place sells it:thumbup1: works as a barrier cream, helps stop any secondary infection:thumbup1:

Hi all, for what its worth the Animal Health Trust is asking owners to complete this questionaire to help identify the cause see here Animal Health Trust | Animal Health Trust From keeping up with this story it seems they are looking to the cause being blue green algae. So anyone who regularly walks their dogs in woods, it is worth giving them a good wash down when you return home, pay particular attention to paws and underbellies, and it goes without saying dont allow them to swim, or drink stagnant pools(as dogs do) I hope your dog is on the mend Baggy.
