Thats great, cheers v much. Ill have a look online for consumption data and see if electric panel heater would be suitable :-)

Hiya, just copied this from the 'planning portal' site re: building regs "They are built at ground level and are less than 30 square metres in floor area. The conservatory is separated from the house by external quality walls, doors or windows. There should be an independent heating system with separate temperature and on/off controls. Glazing and any fixed electrical installations comply with the applicable building regulations requirements (see below)." Link to site if you want a nosey http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/conservatories/

Gooood mornin all, hope were all well :-) Iv just had a 3x5m conservatory fitted, standard rectangular, one side is solid brick and breeze block fibre insulated wall, one side backs on to the house that is double brick and cavity insulated, one side is full windowed (x4) with double glazed A rated K glass, and the final side is two windows same spec as aforementioned and two french A rated k glass doors. The floor is wooden joist covered with like a chip/wood boarding. The roof is polycarbonate. It's all up and has been plastered (drying out as I type) but we have made no provision for heating as it would have bumped the cost up too much to have the conservatory firm do it. I have no idea about heating, did consider underfloor, also considered rads but apparently you have to have it "separated from your main heating system" to comply with build regs. Can someone please tell me/advise me what is the best way to heat a conservatory for use all year round and that won't cost the earth to run (not so bothered about set up cost if it works out economical in the long term), my own inexperienced opinion tells me that electric heating would cost too much (e.g. Wall heater) but worried about falling foul of build regs if I have a rad connected to existing combi boiler central heating system. And if anyone wants to quote me :-) that would be awesome Cheers mi dears Fe x

May be a bit late tonight, stuck in Teesside at a meeting :-(

Thanks for that, looking forward to meeting all of you :-)

Think I'll be on for this one actually, about time I made an effort and came out for one (or three) :-)

Hi ALL. I went to Oldcotes on Sunday and it was pretty good. there were around 400 stalls there so plenty to browse through. Im hoping to find a few more but of the larger scale ones.....i dont find the pub car park ones that interesting, nothing ever much there and at least if you go to the larger ones you can make a day/morning of it. Anyone have any ideas where there may be other car boots on the same scale (or bigger) as the one at Oldcotes? Thanks V Much

so, had a couple of responses, maybe a couple of people interested in meeting up for a drink!! any more takers? x

Well then, Im at a lose end and want to go out tonight, when the cat is away and all that Im 24, female, dont mind most styles of music except im not a BIG rock fan, the heavy stuff anyway. bars or pubs are a winner with me, not really fussy as long as the company is good. I usually go up/down west street or Division street. either that or ecclesall road is quite good. Guess i just fancy mixing it up a bit and meeting some new people.... let me know if your interested..... ttfn x

Well, chefkicker, im in, will give it a go anyway. Im at uni straght from work but should be done in time. How much and what do i bring with me, gym kit? etc

Im up for it definately!!!! I live just round the corner from concorde but providing its in the eve or weekend you can count on me, sometimes play in goal at work for the blokes team, but i just enjoy running around having a kick about. Good fun, will keep my eyes on this one.....anyone managed to arrange anything yet? Ta

Hi, Im interested myself! ive never really got into martial arts becuase i dont like violence. Im not some namby pamby pasefist, what i mean is i dont want to do combat, id rather train, do the excersizes, warm up, practice on a punchbag.....im not interesting in sparring with anyone, thats not my thing. Do you think any martial arts classes would cater for someone that doesnt want to do combat but just wants to learn the technique? Ta
