Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Ideally around 5metres or longer but could also make do with shorter pieces if need be. If you have some lying around, I'd be glad to take it off your hands … View moreHi there, I'm after lengths of 25mm alkathene pipe - not being used as pipe so doesn't matter if it has holes or is damaged.
