  1. Wooden windows, various shapes and sizes. No frames. Only 7 years old and double glazed. Being taken out today. Currently painted. Also some doors. Need a bit of tlc but still usable. Please pm with any questions and I'll try to get some pics taken.

  4. Some men are FAR worse, anyway!! In my experience if a man's in a BMW or a Merc he's a rude plonker. Can't say Audi cos I have one :whistling:
  5. Childcare's a killer isn't it Phil, you'll be alright when your kids are in school @) Best speed up on those climbs eh petal :good:
  6. I can assure you it's not all of us! Some of us are really rather nice!
  7. Forgot to say, affected birds 'shed' the disease by sneezing etc etc so the ground itself may be harbouring the bacteria too :(
  8. Flippin Mycoplasma, it's a nightmare. I use Tylan or there is a new cheaper alternative you can buy now without prescription called Tylanfur http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tylanfur-100g-Respiratory-Infections-Birds-Pigeons-/271135083633 ^^this stuff or if the link gets removed just google it. Mycoplasma is usually caught from wild birds and affected birds unless they recover quickly (within 48 hours or so) can become carriers so it's not necessarily down to bad management, more that they're exposed to affected wild birds. As for saying the bird might go blind, I've no experience of this as all mine have recovered quickly and the bubbles disappeared from their eyes fast. What does hang around for a wee bit longer seems to be the respiratory infection. As for the Vets, I'm not sure, depends on your relationshp with them, hope you get sorted

  11. I bet you can relate to this! Why do I like horses? I reckon I must be mad. My mother wasn’t horsey And neither was my dad. But the madness hit me early And it hit me like a curse. And I’ve never gotten better In fact I’ve gotten worse. My stables are immaculate. My house is like a hovel. Last year for my birthday I got a brand new shovel. I hardly read a paper But I know who’s sold their horse And I wouldn’t watch the news If Mr. Ed was on, of course. One eye’s always on the heavens But my washing waves in vain As I rush to get the horses in In case it’s gonna rain. And though they’re wearing 15 rugs, The best that you can get, I bring them in to keep them dry While I get soaking wet. I spend up every cent I’ve got On horsey stuff for sure. I buy fancy rugs and fancy rugs, And then I by some more. I should have had that hair cut Or bought that nice blue shirt At least it wouldn’t be now Ripped to shreds and in the dirt. I can’t make a bloody sponge cake I don’t even try But I can back a car and trailer In the twinkling of an eye. It’s pants and R.M. boots That I live in night and day And that smell of sweaty horses Just doesn’t wash away. Once in every. now and then I can dress up for a ball. Make up and a hairdo With high heel shoes and all. I ache from long forgotten falls. My knees have got no skin. My toes have gone a funny shape. From being squashed again. But late at night, when all is still And I’ve gone to give them hay, I touch their velvet softness And my worries float away. They give a gentle nicker And they nuzzle through my hair And I know it’s where my heart is More than anywhere.
