Wmsl @ Gwyn... or plants for the garden...... or *must have* craft items or even my kitchen finished, lolol ;¬))

We do get very good at improvisation, don't we?

Love

Daff xxxx

Do you ever read those £10 Handy Tips in magazines..( £15 with photo ) and think...

"I've been doing that for years, I just thought it was commonsense" ?

Daff,
Having moved house many times, and trying to limit packing belongings, you get very good at multi-pupose items too.
I think your parasol is a great idea.
....That's an extra £1000 plus for use for certs !!

Gwyn

Bob, what a shame you didn't patent it yourself, lol..... but I rather like your hedge strimmer idea. I have two grown men in the house and yet there is always a good excuse for leaving the grass grow to jungle proportions. The latest *good excuse* is that two of our cats love to play in it.!

Aw Hazel, I love that story... that was a brilliant idea.

Susan, it is a parasol, not a brolly *rolls eyes and tuts* Actually, I was eyeing up those cute little pushchair parasols, they clip on, but there is nowhere on my pc chair for them to clip on to. But this parasol works really well.

Hayley, I tried a big one, but putting it up meant I had to clear tables of all my stuff first and it all became very tedious. So it is now sitting in the garden. But because it is new, it makes the old garden furniture look really sorry for itself. I might have to go and get new table and chairs. Well, new table at least.

Wmsl @ Emma. It's probably waiting patiently for you to retrieve it from a safe place, lol ;¬))

Mummo, I am sure you must have had lots, but cos you are so modest you don't realise how clever they were ;¬))

Marion, you wouldn't think it was very posh if you saw it, lolol... ;¬))

Love

Daff xxxxxx

LOL Marian from Scotland .
It still seems to be working he was out today cutting his lawn (after taken the brushes off)
hes a sprightly old boy .never still for 5 mins .

If my grass gets too tall for my ancient BnD lawnmower, I use a hedge trimmer, as an electric scythe

Bob

Susan, thinking about it it probably would help a bit in a conservatory

What a clever old man Hazel. I dont imagine it would have done his lawnmore motor much good though.

Nothing to do with parasols...but ..
The eldery man living next door to me had loads of moss growning on the concrete in his back garden he had tried raking it but it was hard work for him (he's 90 yrs old ) so he got his lawn mower and fixed 2 brushes either end of the blade ....it worked a treat for him his back garden no longer has any moss . lol
Hazelx

lol Marion...what a good Idea

Or you could really go to town and put up a gazebo...

Are you sure about that Bob?...... off to put mine up then..


edit....Lol...so did I

strictly speaking,is

a parasol is a sunshade? and not an umbrella?

??

Bob

ooooooooooops!!! sorry missed the post at 16:35

Hmmm...Isn't a brolly indoors supposed to be unlucky?

I've had a brainwave but can't remember what it
was about. Emmax

LOL, not a domestic one but 40 years ago when i was working on forklifts, the usual tools would be a ratchet, a socket, and maybe an extension for loosening /tightening nuts n bolts........I often thought about a spanner that did away with the separate spocket part..........ie a ratchet that fitted the nut.

Lo and behold(although I hadnt seen any at the time),.this type of tool is now in use for many jobs. only drawback is,
you need a different tool for every different sized nut/bolt

sadly although I had the idea in MY head I never got round to producing it...
maybe someone HAD already beaten me to it but!!!!????
Bob

I am trying Marion I cant get it through the ruddy door...pmsl

Question.............Have you ever had a brainwave
Answer.................No, lol. xx

Youll have to get a brolly up Hayley.....and be posh like Daff..

**slings ironing board at Bob **

LOL at least you are on territory that you should be at ease with!!


ducks, and hides wearing tin hat

Bob
