There's something quite satisfying about being able to fix something that you know would cost you £s in the shops.

At the mo I'm doing loads of painting/repairing/gardening (when the weather is dry) as we are hoping to sell our house and downsize. :)

Too true - it's like a drug lol.

Best of luck with the DIY and house sale, we're not planning to move but there's loads to do here that I've been putting off for far too long... :erm:

Just decorated my daughter's bedroom, and fixed her coax on the TV aerial which had worked loose.

I did the same thing yesterday, Kiwi vines had got out of control. Managed to shred it all for composting before the sun set. 4 binbags full!

Picked more Kiwi fruit off that part of the vine... 3.2kg in all. I sense a jam session coming up....

Kiwi chutney maybe?? Could be very nice... :)

Good fix mate!

I fixed a problem with my phone intermittently rebooting. Since it only happened when I'd been out and about, I thought a loose battery might be the root of the problem so carefully positioned some thin card to prevent it from moving around. A few days later with no reboots, this seems to have done the trick. :)

I fixed the video output on my ZX Spectrum at the weekend.

The picture was pretty bad (even for a Spectrum) when I last used it a few months ago, but this time it was unusable.
So did a quick conversion from RF to use composite, can now see everything better than ever. :tu:

Hung/hanged a roll of wallpaper (been in the garage a couple of years) looks good with the new paint in conservatory. Cleaned the rone pipe at the back of the house, painted the wall at the front of the house. Tomorrow (hopefully) cut the grass front and back. Several more steps towards selling (I hope). :)

Well done Tinks!

I've been keeping my old wallpaper for the day when it'd be back in fashion, just like some of my clothes... :D

Just cleaned out the cooling fans and vents in my ageing Macbook Pro.

There's still some life left in it despite the abuse it's endured over the past 5 and a half years. Either way, no way I'll be replacing it with something that's held together with glue like the new one.

My mudguard strut to my bike frame with a zip tie. Whoever invented them deserves a medal.
