The answer to your lawnmowing chore is RIGHT HERE :D

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

I found tarmac & slabs to be the answer to lawnmowing :)

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

LOL I dug up my lawn and put down wood chippings,stones and slabs too. :)

That lawnmower looks like something off robot wars. :erm:

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

I have a man who "does" for me.
Seriously though, he is a customer of mine who is retired but does a bit of gardening on the side. I have large lawns front and back and working six days a week, if it rains on Sunday then by the time I used to get to mow the lawns it was taking me 3 or 4 hours with my Flymo. He has all the proffesional gear and charges me £15.00 a fortnight for mowing the lawns and tidying up the beds.

PS. Julian . Is the Zanussi working OK:)

Where I live, if I left it cutting my front lawn I'm sure someone would crab the thing and leg it! The kids in the neighbourhood would definitely be interested.

You can get something similar that hoovers your carpet.

Oh how domesticated we are all getting!

Frankly I'm into elephants eye high here.I think a wild garden is a terrific idea.......So my husband mows the lawn.;)

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

ah the joys of renting, its in the contract that the landlord takes care of the garden and such, though it did get past knee high before he cut it this last weekend with a strimmer and left the cuttings to float around.
Though fair play to him it did bolt up with all the sun and rain we've been having lately :-)

*Curses exams* i wanna fool around in the sunshine

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

no ironing, no mowing, no washing of towels :rolleyes:

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

Our rental management company employ a man that does all the houses on their estates so that leaves me to just look after the borders :D

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

Well no to the other two but the washing is ok,followed by a tumble dry.I also cook,shop,clean,wash up,clean the toilet(ugh),bathroom,dust(under protest as I'm with Quentin Crisp on dusting) and vacuuming PLUS go out and work.Frankly I do everything else so I reckon refusing do do the mowing or the ironing is a small sacrifice the rest of the family can pay. :pp

However unlike men I don't wanna talk about these things when I come here. :sleep:

Anyway back on topic,I saw the price of that 'lawnmower'.For that price you would have to beef up security for one's shed.

Guess that brings us back to Stuartb's shed. :D

Incog.

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

Whooooooooosh, did you see the bait get taken!!! lol

Was only joking coggy.

Whats the Quentin Crisp and dusting thing?

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

the woman has the garden and i have the computer. Job Done.

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

Ah, "Gardening by Readymix"! A wonderful idea...! :D

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

That if you leave it long enough,after a while it gets no thicker but stays the same.All the dust has settled.

Trouble is I'm never allowed to to put the theory to the test. :rolleyes:

Living with an ex-service man is hell I tell you,hell!

Incog. :D

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

As my ex neighbour would say "CONCRETE THE F****R!"

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

Unfortunately, I have my computer and the computer room which I clean thoroughly(ish) at least once every year whether it want's it or not! ;)

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

One would have to assume to prove the theory you would also not be able to move and therefore disturb the dust? I doubt its true as skin makes up most of the dust and you would still be sheding skin

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

Is that the same day out change your vest and have a bath? :pp

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

You must have met me! :D

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

When I was single, I used to work on the principle that if I was disgusted with the state of the house, then it was time to do something about it.

PS If you are a smoker and leave the net curtains up long enough, they turn a delightful beige colour and are capable of standing up by themselves when you eventually take them down.

Re: The Answer To Lawnmowing
 

EEEWWWWWW :sick:
Well I have no lawn - my back garden is paved over (and only 25 ft square!) and I do everything else myself - hence the decorating I started 3 weeks ago is still 'ongoing' :D
(Although someone has been helping me of late - thanks for doing the kitchen floor Paul!)

Marriage is a great reformer of your housekeeping standards. :)
