I am smiling away here Misspeaches   and Marge 

I had a try at what Dark_castle suggested, and wow, it worked. I am so pleased all back to normal now with the lock. 

Thank you so much, and to all for great suggestions.  

Well done,  that saved you a few £s 🙂

Thank you Glyn, yes those £'s saved can by many choccies and cakes. 

I could get a job doing D.I.Y locally

Glad you got it sorted.

Thank you Misspeaches, so pleased now all works as it should. 

Very glad to hear you got your window unlocked littleme, no cakes for me though as the doctor said I am obese and I am diabetic.

Thank you Dark-castle for your help. 

So sorry to hear about your diabetes, hopefully all is managed as best can be in helping you.

I will eat the cakes,  that will of course help you with not having those extra calories. 

No cake for me either, I need to lose weight so I can have an op.☹️

Send all the cakes to Glyn then please 🙂

He eats all the cream cakes and everything that is bad for you and still only 11 stones and 6ft !!    No one else would get away with that.     He works it all off in his full time job as well as all the decorating and gardening he does at home.

If that were me.....just one look at a cake and i would put on pounds

So hope all eventually goes ahead for you Marge for your operation. Shame you have to have one of course. ((hugs))

I will do my best to eat your share of the cakes. 

That's fine Shirl as I could easily eat your share of cakes. I am 4ft 11 and 7st so best I tuck in. 

I will send some across to your Glyn, of course all cakes will be tested first. 

That good but not perfect way i know a website Shas windows repairs that give fast service.
