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?

bonsoir.... Kit are intelligence quizzes really necessary eh?

funny you ask about Charlie 'cos he had one of those wobbly, cramp-like do's a couple of hours ago...apparently it's something Cav spaniels get, sometimes all of their lives but I'd never witnessed it until he had his first one, last yr I think it was. (It's called something like episodal attacks, can't quite remember without checking) This was about the fourth time & it's always happened when he stood up (too?) quickly after a nap...I know the feeling. It doesn't seem painful, just confusing for him for about 5 mins. :o( He's looking rather thin now too, although he doesn't seem to actually weigh less, he's kind of lost his body tone. I suppose he ought to be checked out but he's well & very active for 11 & half, eats ok etc & it seems a shame to traumatise him going <whispers> you know where...

Vinny!! wake up, you'll be all pink 'n wrinkly

[DaSwede]

Aww, good old Charlie, no I wouldn't disturb his circles either Robinia, the way you describe it, he sounds okay for now. They don't like the scents at the vet's do they - although my sister's bitch actually loved her vet and was very happy to visit his clinic. / Ha ha ha I love the geometry test - I never understood a word of maths at school. Isn't it amazing how people who are good at maths are always lousy at explaining, or rather at understanding what it is that a child doesn't understand. I truly hate maths.

Soo tired... woke up this morning with my Birkenstock style sandal next to my pillow, ha ha... I must have tried to turn it off before I found the alarm clock... jeez....

question for charlie

[netibiza]

Morning all - have alreadybeen up an hour and have hoovered, and steamed lounge carpets (after dragginbg it onto the patio) and now having brekkie and then to try to shampoo with George but I am not very lucky with him I'm afraid. I cannpot believe the amount of cat fur which has come off, enough to spin a mat! I hate it, even though I vacumn every. Then to attack the fitted bedroom carpets - am sweating so much. Mr N has gorn to Brighton for a 4 day golf trip. Ah well see you later!

[netibiza]

Am right peed orf - George has decided to break down on me, water pump not working - I've had enough after dragging carpet outside and wasting all my carpet shampoo from England and it's so hot here.

[shaneystar2]

God Lord gal you do make yourself a lot of work !
I haven't got a carpet to bless myself with only on the stairs .
Can't be doing with them .
Go and have a sit down for goodness sake . Slogging in the heat is no good to you .
I am off to Morrisons to get my cstd doughnuts and Polish Bloomers .
Lovely weather here !!

[DaSwede]

Wait Shaney don't leave without your make-up!

Neti please tell me you didn't clean the carpets the last time you said you were going to clean them, which was just a couple of weeks ago when mr N was away the last time! No wonder George objects. You once wrote you vacuum once a day - crazy lady. <there must be something fishy going on...>

Beautiful day here, I'll get some errands done. Wish I could find one present that would suit all the kids in my friend's family but as they're all sorts of ages I don't know what that would be - any ideas????? No me neither.

Neti! stop it!

[Robinia]

Afternoon people...
oh not another mrs skweekykleen....we all know one don't we?
Yes, I'm with these 2 ^ ^ neti, for heaven's sake stoppit! Get into gardening & then you'll be too kn@ckered to clean. Or join this odd little lot, they've all turned into men & found better things to do with their appliances

No gardening today - blowing ya wig off.... sun in.. sun out...quick shower...

....and if I see the hun word one more time I'll burst into flames....grrrrr...it irritates me beyond words....and isn't it 'hon' anyway?
later mi ducks :o)

[netibiza]

Oh what a day, one of the hottest yet 35�, had to go for a mammograph at 6pm in Ibiza town so decided to take george back to whence he came, else they were going to collect when Mr N was here and still doesn't know I've got it, only discovered the Polti yesterday and I bought that in 1999!! The airport road (where George's hospital is) is all to pot and I had to go thro little unknown villages, well, I'll swear they never seen a white woman with Shirley Bassey music blaring out of the car!! Then had to visit my beloved mum's grave as it's her birthday but didn't have time to get flowers and I hate fresh ones as they go bown so quickly and I hate that even more. Will get a nice arragement of silk flowers and take them next time.

So glad to be finally home.

[netibiza]

Yesterday couldn't get on here as the night before (23rd) was the night they celebrate San Juan and marm and Mr Marm and Mr N and I all went out for a dinner and rather a lot of wine, and then we joined a group of gypsies having a street party and we were clapping to the flamenco dancing (they just wear street clothes not frilly dresses) and it was fab, I caught Mr N looking at me shaking his head, so knew I was not allowed to start my version of the �le dancing! so we were all slightly hungover and Mr marm even fell asleep over out morning coffee meeting! Feel better today though!!

[netibiza]

Does everyone do this before having a mammograph , take a bath, right, afterwards have another bath (cos unknown hands have been there!) then wash all clothes that were worn cos don't what they've touched, or am I just weird???

[Robinia]

mmm, well I don't feel an urgent need to strip off & scrub...do you always wash new clothes before you wear them?

[netibiza]

Depends on the shop! I've just bought a new towel and washed that.

[Robinia]

well I'm sure Vinny can't wait to see you wear that neti....I can't wear a towel, nowhere to tuck it :o(
I'm wearing a pinny (very rare but I've been frying & the fat stings a bit, hehe) it's a very jolly flowery one from Menorca. My skweekykleen friend bought it back from her hols for me.

[shaneystar2]

Well I don' t know about mammograms in Ibiza Neti but it's pretty spotless here at the hospital and they have to use this handwash stuff all the time so I have no qualms about having my bazooms handled whatsoever or feel the need to strip off when I get home :)

Anyway talking about water, I am about to chuck a bucket of it over you know who in the front room if I hear much more yelling and shouting at the television screen over this ruddy football ...there will be tears before bedtime if Germany lose and glum faces .
I have had to record all of the three programmes that were of interest to me lately because of men and football.
So I am reading a book by one of Kit's countrywomen ..Mari Jungstedt ....set in Gotland ...oh sh*te Turkey have scored ......Oh gawd now Germany have scored ...Ooooh ...Christ I reckon you can hear them yelling in Cleethorpes .......where are my earplugs ....

Ha ha ha Shaney I've heard'em screaming here, was that your men! Yes everyone's a crime fiction writer these days... Mari Jungstedt is a journalist and journalists often don't write well when writing novels IMO, what's yours? Haven't read her books but crime fiction has become so popular here over the past ten years that publishers endorse almost any potential crime writer they can dig up and it's getting to be a real nuisance not being able as a book buyer to trust even the oldest and most revered publishing companies. BTW I've heard that German publishers use red houses with white corners in the typically swedish archipelago as a cover picture to say "this is a Swedish book", as Swedish authors sell well in Germany.

Of all the things women hide from their husbands Neti I swear I never thought a vacuum cleaner would be counted amongst them. Why, Neti, enlighten me, I'm not being sarcastic I just really really really really don't get it. BTW you are allowed to post your version of the ol� dancing to YouTube and then on here. Mr N won't mind. / If you don't mind my asking, did your mother think she would never return to England?

Had some luck with my gift shopping today, so far I've come up with a 3D drawing pad and a pocket version of this drawing tool which I myself had as a child.

You didn't say which day your friend's funeral would be, Jude, but I hope it will be or has been a good farewell.

[shaneystar2]

Well I have just finished it Kit It was called Unseen .It was quite good .
Since Henning Mankell burst onto the scene here in the UK Swedish crime fiction has become very popular here . Although nobody can compare with Wallander .I 've read various ones but then I use the library so if I am disappointed it doesn't cost me anything .
The next one on the pile is by Asa Larsson.

If I hear the words ....... that should have been a penalty..are you blind ref.. ...once more ......I will screeeeeeeeeeeem.........
