Wash your mouth out with soap ....

It's Lidl stuff. Should be ok for occasional/light use.

We (here in the UK) are somewhat addited to owning our own property. It's almost a sense of failure if we don't however in lots of other countries, rental is 'normal'. I have friends in Denmark who aren't in the slightest bit interested in buying. Les hit it on the head. As long as your incoming is greater than your outgoings you are doing well. Don't fall into the PCP trap, buy with cash, if you don't have enough cash, find something cheaper. You really don't need a TV contract @ £70 a month. You don't need a phone @ £40 a month. You don't need a £2000 holiday. Borrow 'business money' from the bank, their reality check will stop you overstretching and not being able to pay back. Work hard and diversify when you can ... you could fix that gate for £50 and relay those slabs, unless you are so busy that you haven't got time, in which case you are making money ...

Service the lawn mower, new blades, blow out the air filter and new oil etc

It's like selling whisky in the supermarkets, all it really does is de-value the product.

Wow, look at the profit Stihl are making .... The wage bill .... the rates and services costs .....

I make my own rope shackles ... but wouldn't use them if I was being paid to do something. I use out of date strops ... but not if I was being paid. I know that neither will break as I understand the forces employed but a council HSE man isn't that intelligent and only looks for 'in date'.

I do this on my long bars, opening the hole with a 5mm drill.
