Lot of good advice here - if you get a negative response from the owners, I suggest that, after a suitable interval, you print it out and put it through their letter box, or post it. Ipswich Borough Council have leaflets on this subject.
Holly P
Thanks for all comments and advice. The dog is put out for periods of time ranging from 30mins to what seems about 2 hours, though I've not recorded it, but always when the owners are home, when they go out if left alone it barks then in the house. I ... more »

Useful information

Hello, I have not been on Streetlife for sometime, but my comment now is that I think the Site is really taking off.  At one time it was all about pets, now it's full of useful information.  Keep it up!

I did get a quote from Franklins when I needed my sewing machine serviced and they were going to charge me three times what the chap in Felixstowe costs!
Sheila B
Thanks Debbie for your info.  The people at the Haberdashery shop in Woodbridge recommend the Gentleman in Felixstowe but evidently he is inundated with work at the moment so will give him a try later in the year and pay attention to the garden instead.  ... more »

Oh you poor thing, that's awful for you, I really am not keen on Hallowe'en and this custom that's come from America, am not surprised it makes you anxious and it's so easy to say ignore it when you're not on the receiving end! Am thinking of you.

Hi I'm in Kesgrave and after a new king size mattress as my one I have now isn't very comfy?

We recently contacted the Ipswich Furniture project and after arranging a convenient time they came with a van and took our king size mattress away. They're happy to take anything and it was an excellent service.
