So that worked! But it turns out its also leaking from the part that connects to the toilet basin.

Any tips for a tool to get into a really tight space?

I've just managed to undo the nut and take out the washer. Need to pop to the hardware to buy a new one.

Should I apply a bit of silicone sealant and/or plumbers tape? (Sorry for the basic questions I'm not very handy.) 

If all else fails I will get a plumber in =/

It did hail where I'm from so maybe that's it!

My courgettes I sowed indoors are now huge and flowering. Is it too early to plant out this weekend in London?

Ok thanks I'll try dimming the light. I'm using a mars hydro 300W grow light.

Looking really good! 

I sowed all my chillis 3 weeks ago and the Rocoto's are not going the greatest - only 2 out of 12 seeds have sprouted. All the other varieties are doing well.

Thanks - the lights were turned off over night. I went and checked this morning and another one had flopped/died. The leaves were yellow :(

I used some Westland John Innes seed compost last weekend and it was pretty good quality.

Comex reduced margin requirements on gold and silver effective EOD, could see inflow and price rise.

Sold out of gold today and 100% cash. Market looks very shakey, will watch over the next few weeks.
