Animal Carer has asked me to let you know she is having a "holiday" from GN for awhile if you are wondering why she is not posting or answering pm's. I am not sure when she will be returning and am just passing on what I have been told by her. -- Edited by Duh on Tuesday 4th of September 2012 09:06:4...

But I don't know what is a reasonable amount to charge...

Saw an ad somewhere the other day for a reel to hold extension leads. It was two discs together, that kept your power lead neat and tidy - yellow in colour, had a video on how it worked - does anyone know what they are called, and where they are available - I can't find the site - have googled but no luck.
