I thought they were legit too.


It was a young man who came to my house tonight - I didn't see any others.


However I object to being approached by chuggers in the street, let alone in my own home, and I particularly didn't welcome them knocking on my door after dark (8.30pm), even though he was perfectly polite.

If you want to give to Cancer Research, or any other charity for that matter, DO NOT SIGN UP WITH A CHUGGER. Instead, Google the charity of your choice, go to their home-page, and sign up directly with the charity. Why should chuggers cream a percentage off the top of your donations? Give direct. If you've already signed up then cancel that standing order and do a new one that goes direct.

I seem to be getting people from various charities several times a week and often when I've just got our baby to bed. It drives me mad and I find it really intrusive. I respond that I pay via the payroll which I do and it's far more beneficial to both the charity and to me to do it that way. I was furious on Sunday when they knocked at 2pm - surely if a family is every going to have Sunday lunch together it would be then.


In addition to this I've also had a guy selling cloths etc. this week..... Several friends have found the constant door knocking really intimidating particularly when it's in the evening and they're home alone. Is there any way we can stop it?

That sounds interesting. Was it expensive? Does it need a cable, or does it work remotely?

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
