Oh dear, sadly NO. Double glazing is available but expensive- we were quoted nearly $80k to double glaze our house!!

Don't need double glazing in Brisbane, only small windows and small French doors.

Had a crap week with daughter number 1, I wonder when she will learn. Does she have to end up in prison before she learns!! Mothers Day will come and go without either of my kids realising what day it is.

What a miserable ****** I have become!

(((hugs))) for you I had lots of trouble with my daughter (only 1, other 2 are boys) but she out grew it eventually without ending up in serious trouble. Hopefully yours will learn soon too

Happy Mother's Day in advance for all of us mum's

Fell flat not on my face but on my hands & knees this morning, I'm well bruised with loads of cuts to my hands & knees but nothing is broken, just feeling very sore, just have to watch out for those dried bottle brush cones in future.
