    Now she mentions the cat:DOH::WINK1:

    Victorian Kitchen Garden method, when you have to let it out, you put 2 posts in the ground with a length of washing line strung between them, then attach a collar and lead to that so it can walk up and down, but not try to go back to Surrey.

          Mrs Scrungee has a Post Graduate Diploma in Housing & Planning/IOH membership and a wealth of experience in housing advice, and she prompted me with the bit above regarding tenants. Until I retired, I was a qualified surveyor and being employed by a multi-disciplinary practice was regularly involved with works to Listed Buildings, including those on the at risk register which involved compulsory purchase, repair and resale with very little/if any monies left due to the owners, mainly because of fire damage to uninsured/under insured Listed Buildings.

            That's brilliant! :dbgrtmb:

            Val has now got the best advice. I'm only an amateur :heehee:.

            As a sort of hobby, I've dealt with consumer problems for the last 40 years and represented people who can't afford professional help. Fortunately, almost all of my cases were settled 'amicably' and I only ended up in court about twice a year.

            Val, just be cautious. Don't let your enthusiasm overcome common sense. I'm sure things will turn out OK in the end.
