Must admit, I'd keep the Moonshine toolbox!!! Only kidding!!

Struggling to chuck stuff away Shall I, Sharnt I, it might come in handy one day 😀

Getting rid of a tratter?

Front lawn done, just the back to do then I can start sorting some scrap out 🙂

Afternoon folks :). Cut the front grass this morning, nearly filled the little trailer with the cuttings, chucked that all out on the common after. It worked up a sweat and soaked my shirt. think I will leave the strimming of the edges till...

After all this time the plastic is breaking down and you can smell/taste petrochemicals perhaps? China or glass always here. :)

If thay is 20yrs old I would say thay are past the sell by date and you will soon be p------g plastic 😯😯

Mornin Looking lovely out there Must get out and mow the lawns before it gets too hot Stay cool all :)

They is plastic cups which hold 500ml. Got about 10 from sainsberrys near 20 years ago. Logical fing would be to change to glass. Me pipes were lead and water contamination were high enuff to taste. Running the tap cleared it but water standing...

Morning All. :D Supposed to be a scorcher today, but no signs of that yet. :) Our "free" day except for feeding sons cats, and getting HIS kids from the school. Have a good day. :D

I should hope you do.

Maybe go to ornery porcelain or china ones then. We take glasses of water to bed with us, just use a drink mat on top of the bedside cabinet to not damage the surface. But if we ever have drinks down by the pool we have a massive set of all...

Nope

Is there a special reason why you use plastic ones?

Mornin all, up but not quite as early as we wanted. Tis V hot already, I am dreading going out and working in it. Also cannot find my hedgetrimmer, yet. Yessdi sweat got in my eyes, a lot. I rinsed them in salty water then in non-salty water...

Me cups are about 10 years old. Not the frow away maccy d type. Never had the problem until moving house. Its as if me cups have bin contaminated. Going to try sworf eger next.

Nah, some types of plastic leech into water, they changed the plastic used to make babies bottles for this reason ... https://www.scienceabc.com/pure-sciences/what-is-plastic-leaching-and-why-is-it-bad.html

I'll do thisn if it plays up again. I am waiting for peeps on the C3 fora, both in the UK and in Frogland to reply to just this question. they aren't in a hurry seemingly!!

Yer may remember some time ago me water tasted funny. If yer dunt yer gorra go back and read it. Luckily castle ippo has had its water pipes replaced recently. Water now tastes a lot betterer. Me drink eye takes to bed lasts all nite where as...

Told plusnet eye were leaving and got the new customer price like me naybor wood, fer renewal.

That's a good idea. It is holding up at the mo but obvs not a decent solution. I'll have a bash at seeing where I could stick some araldite or other two part epoxy. :)

Unplug it, what does it show ? Bridge the connector, what does it show? Cos 1 of them will give you the answer. J

We buy them from the old lady up the road, she needs cash and has more eggs than she eats. No the top is normal size the 2 others are quail egg size? Ish. But I will say they do provide double Yokes often. J

Paint the cover bit in super glue or araldite, it’ll hold it better thru the coming summer days.

You sure he wasn't licking his lips when he said he loves chicken? 🤣

Tis flipping cookin here. :confused: Hate workin in it. My eyes sting for ages with the sweat running into them despite what I wear head gear wise. We have resolved to get up stoopid early tomoz and stop earlier. ;)

That's either one double or triple yolker and a couple of smaller uns, or one normal one and a couple of apprentice pieces!! Or one double yolker, one normal and one apprectice piece on closer examination!! Ours have just got beyond the...

Top marks for that one 🤣
