Their plan called for "halving the number of suppliers and developing more strategic partnerships focussed on mutual growth" The way they do this is to invite suppliers to pay them vast amounts of money to remain as suppliers. Or as PF tells it "The programme requires our suppliers to make an annual investment to help fund our growth" - - - Some suppliers have used rather strong terms to describe this practice whereas most others call it a Pay to stay scheme, in other words if you don't pay you will no longer stay a supplier - - -

Our local weather looks set to change if you believe the latest BBC's latest forecast its quite an in depth look at the next few days. Some of the media were indicating snow for Scotland last night and although Ben Nevis has snow the city webcams are not showing any yet.We have been looking at changing our cover over the steps to the back door for some time .

its all about stopping the snow sliding off the roof and filling up the stairs. If we were absent when it did the melting snow could flood the house. So we have a fairly sturdy arrangement covering half the stairs to perform this task as well keeping the door dry in the rain. We considered a door at the top of the stairs but have now decided on a door half way down, the frame of which will help support the roof bit. With the steps being so steep we are also considering a little gate at the top in an effort to avoid kids/grown ups accidently falling down them.
Even in the slightest breeze we get leaves and rubbish blown to the bottom of the stairs, this could also block the drain and cause flooding, as in the case of No 4 recently. Hopefully our door will stop this happening.
Enjoy the day
