What have you just bought?

We have had one for years, we just charge both batteries up before use - two is easily enough to do our lawn.

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.

Complete set of new windows for the house.
The previous ones were 33 years old and in need of replacement.

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.

If I remember correctly it was about 3Tl to the £ when I first went in 2015. I think inflation is running at about 35% now which is down from the 80% ish it was last year.. always makes me laugh when people complain that Turkey is expensive it’s not it’s just it was ridiculously cheap

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.
