Cordless Mini Trimmers

[Robinia]

Does anyone have one of THESE or something similar? I need something light to tidy up plants & the smaller shrubs - I get a man in for the big stuff! :o) I wondered if it will only cut very soft new growth or if it would also be handy to cut down perennials that might be a bit woody?

[swedeheart]

Ah yes jno, the green sheep of Finland. finland has it all

Want to be here do you shaney well, I've just spent a whole hour sitting in my car outside the MOT centre in the midday sun awaiting my turn and it was boiling!! There is only one on the island and it's government run, but by the time the inspector asked me to do the indicators (and the wipers went on) and it was downhill from then on. He had to go into a pit under my car, and said to me please grip the steering wheel for dear life and not to let go as it would kill him, I was terrified, then he said you've passed, oh the relief, I knew the car was fine, but I hated all this bumping and driving onto revolving wheels. Still I got a 2yr badge so that's it for me!

Well I would have come with you Neti I could have hobbled back and forth and supplied you with cold drinks .

Finnish netball players ..tut ....this book was set in Kiruna which ,yes,I suppose is Lappland .It must be some sort of dialect only known to elk hunters.
Never mind .I think I can live without knowing what the doorchime was playing .
Anyway it's brightened up here now and the threat of rain seems to have passed and I've been grubbing about in the garden .
While my friend decided what to do with his apple

well, that's me underneath it, I feel like sh1te, not felt this low for a long time...never mind, I probably just need a good shake & a slap with a wet kipper...or maybe I should become a greenie & go & put a 'Poor Me' post in cb...everyone will give me cyber hugs & call me hun.....and I can shoot the bl00dy lot. Hahaha just the idea's made me feel better....
I wish I had the concentration to read a crime novel, it takes me all my time to read about the adventures of Dick & F4nny....no, no, calm down, don't all rush to snatch me book - I'm talking about the famous five....tut.

Poor Robi hope you cheer up soon. x

[swedeheart]

What a sweet little apple-eating friend you have Shaney!

Who ordered the fish slap? Don't go to CB Robinia they'll just slap you and say "Did That Help?" afterwards, at least when I do it you know it comes from the heart ha ha ha... oh... I am sorry you're feeling low. Found this little fella when I was image googling for hugs just now, he sort of has your name on him if you know what I mean, stick woman... And Shaney you asked for a group hug... Shaney...? are you in there somewhere shaney? <don't know what she's complaining about?> What about you Jude, how are you doing?

Personally I'm K�t�rinn and I'm inconsolable, I live in darkness - sort of. There's something wrong with the electricity (no it isn't just a fuse) in the hallway and this afternoon the entire light fixture came loose from the kitchenette ceiling - I'm not sure if fixture is the right word but yes I am talking about a part which should definitely never ever ever come loose. Now it's just hanging there and I can't unscrew the glass thingy that covers the bulb so it's quite heavy and it may either fall down on my head or it may fall down and rip the electric cord with it, causing... I don't know? A fire? Or just a blown fuse? The landlord wouldn't help as it was Friday afternoon! Well scr3w them if their entire building burns to the ground. Anyone got a helmet for me, I have to stand under that lamp of Damocles when I make my coffee or whatever, all through the weekend. It is a kitchenette - there only is one place to fvcking stand!!

And on top of that i look like elton john

[swedeheart]

here, and the cord is fastened to the ceiling with those tiny tiny little "cordnails" that aren't intended to hold the weight of a lamp, just to keep the cord nice and straight to look at.

[shaneystar2]

Well I look as if I have been pulled through a hedge backwards so I am going to have a bath and go to bed.

That light sounds a bit dodgy to me Kit ..you need a man who can with a stepladder by the sound of things .You'll have get one of these ..That way you have a tin hat and a light all in one
See you all later ..Nite nite xx

[swedeheart]

And a sieve! Thanks Shaney I like it!

[jno]

well my Swedish name is jno and that is probably my Finnish name as well. I can go to Furniture Anonymous meetings and say 'My name is jno and I am a chair'. Sorry you are feeling low, Robinia; perhaps it is the weather - the fact that it is summer and yet it's not that much better than winter; that always used to bug me. You probably just need a good, um, bird

[shaneystar2]

Oh ..I know what you mean ..I used to have a similar sort of thing in our last house in the hallway .It was a nightmare to change the lightbulb because you had to take the glass bit orf ,change the bulb ,then hold the glass bit up with one hand and screw these little tiny screws round it ,whilst wobbling about on a chair .Useless thing .
Ditch it Kit ..buy a lampshade .

[swedeheart]

I'm tired of trying Shaney - but perhaps if you all come around...

"European Shag or Common Shag"... good lord... how do the British name their birds jno. The Common Shag! Ha ha ha! If that doesn't cheer you up Robinia I don't know...!

[Robinia]

oh dear lord.....hahahahaha...this foggy head's making me a bit slow & it took a minute jno but thanks for that, it's exactly the advice I'd have probably had in cb without the hassle of even going in there....<I've got stitch>...you could be right, I daren't say on a friday night with Vinny around....

sorry you might be plunged into darkness/an inferno Kit these things always happen at a weekend....mind you, no light fitting of mine would fall down, they're all held up by the cobwebs....shall we send neti over to fix it?

[Robinia]

it did cheer me up Kit it's taken me 20 mins to type those few words

[swedeheart]

Nooooooo! Robinia please, mercy! Not Neti! She's worse than tim conway's dad!

I'll say bye for now, am going to watch a rerun of Parkinson, Eric Idle is one of the guests and I haven't seen this show before. Nitie nite.

[Robinia]

ha, he's a bit like my ex f-i-l, everything was either nailed down, never to be moved again, or held together with sticky tape. He lent us a drill that blew all our electrics...I can only assume their own leccy was wired incorrectly to correspond with it.
you'd better have my toolkit just in case
