Anybody got any idea how to stop a running toilet? it's one of those with the button on the top to flush it. We find that if we push it & release it quick to flush, it will be running all night, but if we keep the button depressed until the entire cistern empties each time, then it's fine...

Homebond advised me that they don't get involved within the first 12 months, rightly or wrongly, this is what they advised. They, apparently, only act as an intermediary between the Builder and the Customer during this time, instead of getting directly involved.

We had exactly the same problem with leaks, two from toilets, and one in the wall; not to mention the set concrete in the sewerage drains, back door, which wouldn't open, cracked window. It took the builder approx 3 months to send someone out. This was further to a number of promised visits...

Re: Estage Agent will not accept our offer! We were in your exact position fairly recently, and got so frustrated with the EAs saying this very thing that we held off viewings until we sold our property (which didn't take long). By chance, we've found a new House, which is better than the...

Re: Key Post: Engagement rings Let's be honest though, any man (and I am a man!) who doesn't buy the girlfriend an Engagement Ring when he proposes, puts herself in an awkward position when she announces her news to family & friends. Also, he would be classed as a Cheap Skate! Am I wrong...

Coddle is a Dublin-wide Dish. My Mother used to make it & she's from Phibsboro, and my Grandmother made it, and she's from the Libo's, so I don't think it's confined to there.
