Just ordered a new petrol lawn mower ... our old one doesn't like starting now and it appears to be one of a few things, all of which won't be cheap to sort, so no point in messing about with it and it's done good service so can't complain as it didn't cost much but will put it on Freecycle/Gumtree in case someone wants to tinker with it or needs parts for their own.

As for the new one, fortunately I'd just got a 15% discount offer from Ebay so the cost is £100 delivered, can't complain at that!

If you've ever had to open a Fray Bentos pie then you will know that it takes a very determined person to remove the lid so you can cook it.
I like these pies although anyone who likes cooking and makes their own pies will think these so called pies are not very good.
Anyway I’ve always struggled to open these pies until I bought this Culinare One-Touch Can Opener.
I’ve tried this on 4 pie tins now and although on some it did leave a small portion of the can not cut open it was enough to lever the lid off.

Bought 2 storage bags at Peterborough for Dobbie Doblo my day van, should have bought one of the elctric fittings so I can plug into a normal electric socket, we have n in the big van, but it is in storage. Thought one would be plenty, if a certain someone says 'what you want is' once more I will suggest some changes for his KTM.

I have never, ever, ever had the slightest difficulty in removing the lids from Fray Bentos pies.

Guess what?

I use a can opener!

Genius or what?

Lawn mower arrived today but I couldn't have a play with it as it was hissing it down ... we've had wonderful sunshine then rain and hail today! Might have a go tomorrow.

Ordered a new lawn mower this week.
Problem is, we are away a lot and got fed up with coming home to grass that has gone mad. Last year it was so long that I had to strim it before I could mow it.
The answer is robotic, so ordered one of these:-
H310-1610.png

Its a Husqvarna 315x which has GPS and mobile connection so can be controlled via a phone app from anywhere.
So, while we are away in the van the robot can keep the garden looking tidy.
Just have to think of a name for it now, apparently it's the done thing to name them.
I rather favour Rodger so that, as I go out the door, I can shout to Kate "I'm just going out to Rodger the robot". :Eeek:
That should keep the neighbours gossiping. :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Be interested in hearing how you get on with it.

Won't have it for a couple of weeks yet as we have just had a renovated area of the garden re-turfed. Have to let it settle and start rooting before it's mowed, then the dealer will come in and lay the boundary wires and install the mower.
Will report back when it's up and running. (y)

First impressions are very good, fast, responsive and lots of storage.

Bought primarily for the camera specs but will update on that as things progress and I find out how to work it

Some stickers with our MH dimensions on for the windscreen. Any suggestions on where to stick them? On second thoughts, don’t bother! :ROFLMAO:

Are these something special - any pictures or where you got them from?

We have them on some thick paper slotted on the rear of the driver's sun visor so if we need to check we can just flip it down.

Me too. I printed it, laminated it and stuck it on my visor. Then I saw these and thought they would look better.:)
