    Have you thought about who really can afford what you make and if it's something they actually want?

    Just thinking, if theres a tonne of single 60y/old women, you could become a gigolo 🤔🤓

    What will happen to your tools when you die?

    Im sure there's been a thread like this before 😆 anyhow, im also sure @Fitzroy said about an inventory and a guide price which i thought was a great idea. I still havent done it, but i dont plan on dying yet anyway 🤔 too much work to do, plus, if i died suddenly the mrs would nag me 🤣😆 Itd take...

    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    Some companies charge 'fees' for setting up the mortgage, others are fee free... hsbc for instance are feefree and offering a slightly lower rate than my mortgage broker is recommending. Maybe the different companies pay the brokers different amounts? You get charged to leave a mortgage early...

    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    You'll never please everyone. What we really need is to dump the politicians and find a new system to 'govern' the uk. A lot of the time they dont explain their actions, presumably because we are all too dumb to understand?, but we all see through the lies, whether its tory, labour etc. They...

    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    A big part of the problem is transport. Theres a lot more opportunity in the south / south east, partly due to transport ( onward shipping etc ) What all the governments seem to balls up is the basic premise of 'levelling up' What it really means is spreading the opportunities around fairly...

    Electrical advice needed please

    I always allow for a sparky and plumber on kitchen fits. If they aren't required, the price drops. Any high draw kit ( ovens, hobs etc ) get a sparky visit..... I'm a chippy, not a sparky. Sure im capable of a straight swap but im not going to be responsible for ensuring the original feed was...

    How to stop mice pinching the traps?

    Fix long string to the trap and tie the other end to a bench leg or something. The next little bugger to get caught will drag the trap out the hole and you will find the hole by following the string..... then whack the mouse with a shovel.

    I tend to go to tesco for my 'gardening' The mrs sometimes tries potatoes, but for the return, tescos is definitely less hasstle. I had a chilli plant last year but left it out too long 🤦 mind you, weve still got a load in the freezer. Ive got a pot with mint because i love mojitos and its...

    Corbyn would have been a disaster. Mind you, had corbyn been p.m, russia wouldnt have invaded ukraine. They'd have invaded us instead! Corbyns first move woukd have been to scrap trident and post the keys for no10 to putin 🤣 I bet you the Ukranians wish they hadnt given up their nukes 😔

    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    I dont know the total % cost of moving here, but it soon adds up. Buying bigger houses and taking the pain on the extra costs generally works over here. Prices on the whole only really go up ( sure, you get a 'crash' where they drop a bit, then when they recover, they rocket 🚀 back up. ) So...

    Luckily since the 3rd nov, interest rates on mortgages are dropping a bit, so nows a good time to fix 😀 In other news its been wet n windy here 🙃

    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    No Chance 😬😵‍💫 Yep, i was leaning toward 2 year and hoping for the best. The rates have actually dropped a touch since the 3rd because the banks are more settled, so nows probably the best it'll get for a year or so....

    Ok. Id say ( being as its a budget tool ) your options would be to trawl ebay for a used replacement, re cell it or buy a makita 😆

    replacing an old style 18v parkside (lidl) battery

    Is it li_ion? Its often 'possible' to buy replacement cells. Maybe if you take a battery apart, you'll see whats in there i.e cell spec and quantity, but ive not done it myself

    Workshop in garden shed and noise

    Unfortunately the system isnt geared towards resolutions. With the recording kit, what they do is notify the neighbours that they'll be recording them for 2 weeks, they drop off the kit, and 2 weeks later when they collect they tell the neighbour theyve stopped..... My father in law has been...
