Min from Waltham

Hi all

Can anyone tell me who does garage door repairs? The make is a Merlin power lift and the door only goes up a few centimetres. On investigation it seems like the cable may have broken. Many thanks

A Life Beyond Food and Addiction

I don’t remember being obsessed with food when I was very young, the way I was to become. I remember starting to eat at any opportunity I could get. I would arrive home early at meal times to check what was in the pans. Saturday afternoons were spent baking, while my friends were out shopping. I went on to develop a love for raw cake batter and butter icing and I would make it up when I was desperate for food. Once I started getting money, I would buy sweets and secretly eat them. Meal times were awful, I never felt fulfilled.

Recently bought new but draws are very temperamental, have to be eased out dead straight & coaxed back in very carefully. I dare not let grandchildren help themselves to ice blocks in freezer & I'm already avoiding using vegie chiller draw myself. Would be interested to see if I'm just being finicky.
