Our 2 1/2 year old Dyson DC54 Animal Ball vacuum cleaner blew up today. We have all the heads etc for it to give away if anyone needs them. They're in good condition.

You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.
For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.
With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.

Its time for us to hold our AGM, this is open to any member of the public who is interested in what we do. We will post an Agenda closer to the date.
After 10 years of trying for a baby, our lovely friends have all of a sudden been given permanent, forever care of a beautiful 22 month old boy.
I would love to find one of these chairs for them, so if anyone has one they don't need anymore, I would be happy to take it off your hands.
