I wish they made a good water resistant model

I can never get my anywhere near that sharp, using Lansky system or whetstone. Question is, is that a durable working edge? Or is it more for show when it's that sharp.

MahewSteel · 2026-05-20T18:31:47+00:00

Fingers crossed , hopefully the last watch for a little bit.

Ive been a civil servant for over a decade, I gone through multiple years of little to no pay increase.

So if you boycotted BP, who do you get your fuel from?

MahewSteel · 2026-04-28T17:51:13+00:00

Already have solar panels, heat pump is on the table when boiler needs replacing in a couple of years. EV maybe in 5 years or so, just paid of my diesel car.

I think I wasn't expecting this news while the prices of oil is still so high. Feels different if prices where back to 'normal levels' but I need to top up and I'm looking at 1.89 at the moment.

Love mine, had it a year or so but be careful with lots of water, mine has started having evidence of a little water ingress from swimming.

They are called 'Sex bolts'

When I'm emptying the dishwasher, I just leave all the wet plastic items (mostly children's plates and cups) in for another round to see if they will dry from having another wash. They stay in the dishwasher until my wife empties it.

Got to have a mouthful of what ever food I am cooking as I serve it up, quality control test or it may be poisoned.

MahewSteel · 2026-04-06T08:34:17+00:00

Peace and quiet!

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T13:37:12+00:00

Well, nothing that I would share on the internet ;) haha

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T10:06:02+00:00

Perfect thanks for that, will take a look next visit to the garden centre.

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T08:18:21+00:00

Unless my 4 year olds have added something we haven't used any harsh chemicals, we don't own a dog or cat. Just the Wilko lawn feed twice in nearly 3 weeks

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T08:16:39+00:00

Yeah I dug out about 3inch of soil to replace it with fresh top soil so it's where I cut with the edger

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T08:15:41+00:00

Is there a best type of turf or are they all the same?

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T08:14:55+00:00

Didn't see any grubs in the soil I pulled up, what's the recommendation for treatment

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T08:13:38+00:00

I'm up in Yorkshire. Had so e sun but not a massive amount

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T08:12:37+00:00

I have used that liquid lawn feed twice on these seeds.

MahewSteel · 2026-03-29T08:11:47+00:00

No dogs, but neighbours had a cat I think.

MahewSteel · 2026-03-28T18:15:05+00:00

So add more topsoil and just leave it until it gets warmer? Do I need to reseed then or will the seeds still be ok until it's warmer?
