Practical Ideas TSV 13/12/21

Super, any idea what the 1 December DIY gift might be yet? Or what this Practical Ideas on 13 Dec might be? I'm going to buy that folding workbench but holding off in case it's a TSV. I'm worried it might sell out as Mr CC will be devastated if Santa doesn't bring it and only Q seem to sell it.

I know you'll tell us when you know but I'm impatient lol.

Is this the work bench that you mean, candycane?

50 years ago I got my mum to buy Mr L a Black & Decker workbench for Christmas. It has been well used in that time and worth every penny she paid for it. Unfortunately it’s built like a tank and he is finding it a bit heavy to cart about since his back op last year.

Candy is Mr CC a good DIYer? In our 50 years there hasn’t been much, apart from actual building structures we haven’t had a go at.

We got a team in to, what I thought was going to be a really good tidy job in the back garden by cutting down overgrown trees and shrubs, only to come home to find Mr L got him to clear out one full section. Plus point recovered about 1/3rd of the garden however we have lost an awful lot of privacy.

Trying to look on the plus side that I might get a small greenhouse and veg patch.

Mr CC is pretty useless at DIY in the house but he can make things. He has a workbench but it's a big static thing and we're getting a new shed so he thought a folding one would be better and give more room. I was going to buy it before but it sold out before I had a chance. He rarely REALLY wants things but he does want this. I've got the cash to buy it but I'm just being mean, seeing if I can get £20 off or so.

A word on small greenhouses. Don't go for those plastic types, i've had all of them including a poly tunnel type and they have all either blown away, been shredded by the wind or the plastic struts have broken. I pushed the boat out and got a little wooden framed poly carbon window one which was about £350. Really good and still standing. You do have to build it though and varnish or paint it but Mr CC did ours so it can't be that hard.

I was thinking of a small glass aluminium one on a metal base. I’ll get the chap who did the garden to put it in along with raised beds.

Anyone got one of those compost tumbler thingies?

[Dream Girl]

Not a look I would want to go for, would make me look to much like the Michelin Man.

 

[merryone]

Pointless garment - Too outdoorsy for indoors. No sleeves so pretty useless for outdoors anyway. Too bulky to wear under anything else, impractical fabric - Other than that it's alright!

Fifty five blooming quid......

I like my gilets have quite a few quilted ones.Wear them when I just need a bit more warmth but not a coat & when very cold under a coat.This is too bulky & would be too warm on the body to be sleeveless.( does that make sense?!)

 

[Old Man Steptoe]

Would certainly look daft at the ballet

 

[boffy]

The brand ambassador and Pippa look like walking tortoises in those hefty gilets

June has just said that it is cut to be slimming!! Really! Hideous and £55. No thanks.
