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

That lawnmower looks like something off robot wars.

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 ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Incog.
