I must admit the cost makes it very attractive, I think I'll go for the Lidl one if they have any left.

Quick question, my cordless Dremmel 800 multifoil finally died last night, typical as I'd just purchased 2 spare 10.5v batteries. Now a new Dremmel cordless with spare battery is around £120 whereas in my local Lisle they.currently have their own version for considerably less. Ihas anyone tried the Lidle cordless and is it any good?

Thanks, I'm using LED as well so I'm worrying about nothing as usual. I've use mains switches in the past with no problems, there again I wasn't filling my head with loads of unnecessary information from the internet ?

I want to use some old 230v Bakelite switches for 12v light circuit. Quick question, do I need to do anything to widen the contact gap?, is there a minimum 'open' gap to stop any arching? I know I've read about problems using mains switches for 12 volts but can't find it now I'm looking

You'd bang your head bouncing on the trampoline with the roof closed. No mention of the engine.water capacity etc

You are (both)in my thoughts and prayers.

Very expensive looking too

I've seen similar products by chilterntimber.co.uk which I thought may use for the cabinets but I think the doors may be above my pay grade ?

I'm toying with the idea of having curved cabinets in the galley & whilst I'm quite happy making my own cabinets the doors are a bit beyond me.I know lots of people simply use domestic kitchen units and wondered if anyone has sourced good quality curved cabinet doors? My thinking is once I have the doors I'll make the cabinets to fit ( probably out of good quality marine ply) Hopefully to achieve something rather like this but with curved cabinets

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions,lots of food for thought.

Thank You for recommending this super little book. I've grown-up with boats all my life & can honestly say this book is one the best, easiest to understand, books on the subject I've read. Just gotto persuade my wife to read it now ?

That's me exactly ?

It's for us to have a base half-way between them. I doubt they will visit us onboard but we can visit them once in a while give them a 'sunday-lunch' (and the obligatory handout ? ) If the house sells we shall be moving onboard full time. Then the plan is to CC andexplorer new areas. I grew up with boats and there are family owned moorings on the Great Ouse so I would love to re-visit the Middle-Levels and introduce my wife to the unique magic of that area.

Been so long in Wales have forgotten what public transport is. I would guess the best bet would be to find secure cheap mooring, possibly a marina, (though not too fussed about electric), to use as a base whilst we have a chance to cruise around and check out the area. As already mentioned do not need residential moorings but security is important also parking. A convenient water point would be great, at present we have to do 4 locks to turn around.

I'll be myself and my wife, we'll be using a car, our house at present is in West Wales which hopefully will be on the market. Our problem is not knowing the area.

At present we have an offside mooring on the K&A which suits us aewe have 2 boys at Bristol Uni,however our youngest is starting at the University of York this year &, as out boat is booked in with Martin Kedian this June, we are considering giving up our mooring on the Kennet and finding new moorings roughly halfway between Bristol and York. We have not yet sold our bricks and mortar therefore do not require liveaboard moorings yet but are looking for any advice or recommendations that can be given.

You could try a dog a Thundershirt anxiety coat for your dog. i've never needed to try one for my dogs but i know of at least 3 occasions where do owners have had excellent results in very similar situations to yours.
