My last experience of being untethered was at my old house where the garden was large and rough and needed a petrol mower to get it done. I used to have to allow a couple of hours for that, and time afterwards for a shower, as it was seriously heavy work. This was a breeze. I’m really happy with it. The only minor niggle is that it requires 2 charged batteries but they supplied a charger that only does one battery at a time (and apparently they don’t even make one that can charge two at once). Looks like I’m going to have to buy a second charger so I don’t have to keep one eye on the recharge to swap them over.

Mine only takes 1 4w/h battery and mine has never run out of charge, I usually just drop it on charge after 1 cut, it doesn't take long.

I wouldn't bother buying a second charger just get in the habit of charging both after a cut and swapping them. You may not even need to charge them after one cut.

Just bought the usual monthly £5 Tesco gift card via Topcashback to get the £5 spend £2 bonus, am I the only one doing this? It may only be £2 but it's every month and free money is free money.

Well I dont use Tesco, but we have an Iceland Bonus Card, that adds £1 for every £20 you put on it, so a 5% bonus.

I'm stunned by the exchange rate (I know, the prices increase to reflect it) - when we first started going to North Cyprus in 2007, the exchange rate was 2.40 YenTLs to the pound, now it's 53.81...

(we change money over there - we find we get a better rate; off there again last week in September/first week of October - we find July and August too hot (mid-30s to low 40s)).

Sadly quidco my preference over topcashback doesn't have it. It would be handy I live next to a Tesco express. I'm in there near everyday.

There is no reason why you can't get a Topcashback account too if it saves and gives free money.

It’s generally about 30-33c when we go so not too but I still remember the first time walking out of Antalya arrivals at about 11pm and doing a u turn back into the aircon muttering ‘no, absolutely not’ the subsequent 3hr transfer on a packed coach with no aircon was a joy.
