  2. I'd like to help with this. Although I don't post as much as I used to, I'm logged onto the forum all day, most days. Janet
  3. I'm sure the fees are on Paypal somewhere but I can't get onto it at the moment. Was just thinking of upping my payment to offset some of the charges. Janet
  4. How much are the fees Daniel? Janet

  6. I'm only a mod for the FB page...I wouldn't trust myself on the forum! Janet

  8. I tried typing Peterborough in, but it said nothing found. Oh well, it was worth persevering if it helps to get the funding! Good luck with it. Janet
  9. I give up! It's taken me twenty minutes to register - three times it said my user name was already taken (and each time I had to enter my password twice) and then it said I'd got an incorrect answer on the security question. Hmmm....Paris was the capital of France last time I looked... Now I've finally registered, I simply cannot find the project! I've been searching under every keyword I can think of. I know from a previous post the area is the South East, but what category is it under and what project size? I'm really tired tonight and rapidly losing patience! I know, I'm probably being dim and missing something! Janet Edited to add - phew! I finally managed to find it and vote. What an absolutely horrendous website. Worth persevering though, as it's all in a good cause!

  11. Daniel, are you trying to start a pumpout/cassette argument? Well done to everyone for getting the site back. Janet
  12. We much prefer the reverse layout - it works for us! I've lost count of the number of times we've had wet bedcovers on a few hired/borrowed boats after forgetting too late to close the hatch when it starts raining! I also hate walking sideways like a crab down a narrow walkway next to beds stuffed with quilts whilst wearing sopping wet outdoor clothes! It suits me also as I don't have to disturb anyone if I want to get up on deck early for a fishing session...beds at the pointy end/middle and I can make a brew/flask without disturbing anyone. It's also so much easier when one of us is making a brew or lunch to remain within earshot of the steerer rather than them having to try and attract attention when you're half way down the boat and can't hear a chuffing thing. Each to their own of course! Janet
  13. Oh wow....a most inspiring story. Good luck with all your future endeavours...wishing you all the very best. Janet
  14. Strange. We moved our community narrow boat from Huncoat to Rosegrove and back last week to empty the toilet and fill up with water and we commented on how little rubbish there was. There are regular canal clean-ups around here now but unfortunately we can't seem to educate the local residents that the canal is not the best place to dump unwanted furniture and rubbish. Janet

  16. This is my magic, fantastic multi coloured windlass...bought at an IWA festival several years ago...it was painted up in various colours and cost me a bloody fortune...£3.00 if I remember correctly! Apparently these windlasses had all been rescued from the cut then refurbished for sale to help raise funds. The colours are virtually gone (red, yellow, blue and gold) now as most of the paint has been chipped off with repeated use, but this windlass has done thousands of locks and swing bridges over several years. I'd be lost without it!
  17. John, as Col mentioned, could you not find somewhere safe to keep Gemma Joy whilst you care for your mum? I'm sure there are plenty of forum members who would be happy to help out by checking on the boat regularly. You so obviously love your boating. Whatever, I hope you continue to contribute to the forum. All the best. Janet
  18. Is that our Eurovision entry for this year? Janet
  19. I regularly make sausage curry...for some strange reason it always seems to taste better when I use the cheapest value sausages so it makes a very cheap meal. I simply snip the sausages into pieces with scissors and bung them in. A handful of fresh coriander gives it a lovely taste, and a dash of cream finishes it off perfectly. Janet
  20. Indeed. Thank you for updating us. We need to keep bumping this as there may be people who are currently out cruising who aren't aware of this and may possibly have information. Janet
