Hi there,
I have a bit of a random request.
I was hoping someone may have an old ships wheel and/or a old life ring that I could please borrow just for 1 day (22nd Feb) . I have been hunting op shops and trade me etc with no luck. It is just to be used as decoration at my sons birthday party, so doesn't need to be in great condition, and I can pick up and drop back after the party.
Thanks so much in advance,

Hi all,

My partner, myself, and a very good friend of ours are currently searching for a new rental to call home. Our lease for our current property will be ending this Saturday 15th, so we are available now.

Unfortunately, we have been to many viewings and have found it very difficult to find somewhere that fits what we are looking for, or we find that right before we attend a viewing, we are told it is cancelled and the property has been applied for.

There are three of us, and our two dogs.

Myself and our friend both work in the animal industry and have done for a number of years.

My partner works in the fishing industry in a professional office environment.

If anyone could help us to find a home, we would be extremely grateful.
