Most homes round here are oil burning. My dad has just finished installing his with boiler. You have to buy your fuel up front which is the main difference, but oil prices tend to work out cheaper than gas and miles cheaper than electric. Minimum oil delivery is usually 500 litres, there are some smaller companies that will do 100 litres but they few and far between

Have you looked at the universal joints on the prop shaft? Are they all lined up because if they arnt you will get a feedback through that and it eont be cured by anything but removing and re aligning splines correctly. Long shot i know but worth a check

Around 4 weeks i would say, the cast will ususally be on for that long on a leg to gaurentee the healing process, once its off you could feel good as new or a little tender. What kind of jobs you applying for are they active?

Sorry to hear about ernie. My others halfs mum lost her cat a few months ago due to a blood clot, he was an ill cat all his life really with kidney probs. Ill be honest i was always a dog lover and only ended up with cats because my gf wanted me to have a pet, i was living on my own so i thought why not and i settled for black cats after finding out they are the least wanted colours. Best thing i did, they are proper charectors and im attatched indeed. And now my other half lives with me they are both attatched to me and give her a wide birth.

Well hopefullyfinal update now. Just got in from the vets. She spent a night in the cells but ate hardly anything as she wasnt too keen on the strange place noises and no me around. I went and saw her yesterday morning to cheer her up and get her to eat and was told she has returned to normal temp, she perked up when she saw me and the other half. Called up after work yesterday and they were concerned that she is stressed and not eating, so they said she coupd come home. Got her back and she was nearly good as new, ate her dinner slept with us ect. I had to take her back today to have a jab and he said she dont need to come back i can medicate at home. He also said we were lucky as he really thought last friday she wouldnt make it the weekend. So to conclude she had a nasty virus that they cant explain. Now i just have to deal with the other cat constantly hissing at her and also me i guess because we both smell of the vets Thanks for your help and support people

Nera doesnt drink an awful amount to be honest, both the cats get wet food and i have caught them drinking from a puddle outside a few times so i guessed they are like dogs and prefer natural water. Did running the tap work

I checked the teeth and gums and so did the vet, when she stopped eqting much my other half said toothache straight away, i ruled that out by checking teeth and feeding her chicken instead of her food which she scoffed no probs. I have just had a call from vets. Her protien levels are quite low but if FIP was a cause they wouod expect it to be very high so although not 100% yet its unlikely to be that. However now she is in the vets overnight she wont eat there, i think she may be missing me (she is very attatched and never been away from the home overnight) so i have to go there in the morning with some of her food and to see if i can get her to eat. Fingers crossed

Update: I took her in this morning, as she hadnt got better although now eating. They have taken blood samples and running tests, sh is clear for FIV and leukemia. Her blood is slightly thicker than normal so they have kept her in re-hydrating her and to see the oucome of the rest of the blood tests. Vet has confirmed she isnt in pain and the reason for her lethary and layin on the floor is her way of keeping her temp down most likely as its still high. She has no dhiorea either. So now we wait. Thanks again people for your input
-
Thanks for the replies people. I was woke up by the other half this morning in tears, i fed her and she ate this morning butno change, i think we gona have to go to the vets today and see what they say. I would struggle if its the aids as i have another cat and they both go out.

Main and only thing is respect the bike. Dont listen to all the negative comments like you WILL drop it or you WILL flip yourself off the back ect. No just respect it, there is plentt of people ou there that have never dropped one of their bikes myself included and i went straight for a 600. You will do your test on a big bike and you will be used to them by the time you finish your course. Take it easy, listen to your instructor and dont run before you walk -
After some opinions really and if any vets on here all the better. Would rather not have cat haters being negative please only relivent or informative posts I have 2 cats, same age and litter, just over a year old. Since last weekend one of them started eating less and less (not usually a big eater anyways) and over the course of 6/7 days lost a load of weight became lethargic yesterday and just not herself at all. I decided yeaterday to book in at the vets, took her last night and the vet wasnt his normal blause self, he is normally very matter of fact, doesnt reccomend useless jabs ect only nessesary ones. Now he pointed out she didnt look too well at all, said she had a temp, and most likely a virus. Reccomemded and prescribed some meds and said if she not better then bring her back end of nextweek, but he also wrote on a piece of paper two illnesses and said to google them when i get home. I now think he done it like this so we can prepare ourselfs for if she dont get better. He gave a jab and aome meds for us to give daily, and as if by magic we get home and she scoffs her dinner. Seems more alert ect. This morn she eats brekkie and takes med, but when i get in from work about midday she is very lathargic and walkin like an arthritic cat. She is eating but very little else. On the paper he wrote feline hiv and feline immune peritonitus. Hiv is treatable to an extent but the latter is fatal. Now we have no diagnosis but im fearing the worst. I want to give her a chance to build some strength and let the meds work but my other half wants her to go in again straight away, i just fear the vets will just say there is no hope and i will be coming home and telling her sister the bad news. I am more attatched to nera than my gf is, she is a daddys girl through and through. Am i being cruel by giving her a couple more days to see a change or is the other half on the right tracks. I just dont know im torn. Anyone experienced this condition in one of their cats. Any help apreciated

Sometimes....

I just tried googling it but nothing has comeup this course is most probably something just set up by my local training school. You need to find an open area you can use for it, and set out a series of drills like slalom, figure 8, u-turn slow ride, basically all the componants in a mod 1, but set it out in a way that it can be completed start to finish without stopping, and then start from the beginning and keep doing it. If you put your foot down start again. This will seem tedious but will prove beneficial in a way you wont understand. -

Speak to your local training school about a control course. A local school offerd this to my other half, they set out a course that can only be completed using control, you do it with them one full time thenthey leave you for3 hours on your own going over it again and again and by the end of the three hours you should have better control of the bike than most
