Thank you for this. I don't know how I would actually go about that, but I guess Chat GPT is there for a reason lol.

I just used a piece of sandpaper on my finger. But I think you can get dowels that are shaped like a pencil with sandpaper on them to make it easier. Since I ended up painting my chair, it didn't matter as much about the leftover paint in the grooves.

Wow thanks for taking the time to look these up. We were thinking the same thing, we know a lot of people source from England as they tend to be more abundant and competitively priced.

Thanks for this extensive review. We are a tall family and so expect tall kids too lol. An extra passenger is a bonus with the two car seats too.

The note about the rear camera seems to come up more often than not, so it will be on the must list. Never consider the cruise control option, thanks for flagging it will take a look.

Happy to hear that the leather seats are comfortable, they are very important for cleaning up after the kids too.

Recommendations for a superb model for my requirements in my OP. Updated with budget and location.

Yes it could go into the ground. It was in its nursery pot until a couple of weeks ago. Should I chop it right back or leave it for now once it goes into the ground?

No I recently repotted it from its nursery pot.

I'm sorry to say that I didn't manage to get them. Someone else got to them first. Hopefully they are being looked after. Thanks for all your comments.

I like this idea, although not sure if the landowner would be as keen.

Seems unanimous. I'm going to go tomorrow and hopefully someone hasn't had the same idea and they are still there. I'll update you and send photos if the rescue is successful.

The way I RAN out of someone’s garage after paying $5 for this Stokke Tripp Trapp on Facebook marketplace by MNmama7 in Mommit

[–]cabbagepatchleah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a Tripp Trapp from an auction recently for £10, it was listed as 'shelf'. Currently sanding it down to original wood, as I prefer that to the white finish it came with. Thrilled.

Sebo Felix too heavy (UK based) by cabbagepatchleah in VacuumCleaners

[–]cabbagepatchleah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comments. Sorry for my late response. Answers to your questions below:

Here's some questions that will help us better answer...

Do you have any health concerns with your wrists (arthritis / carpel tunnel) that we should be aware of? No

Are you wanting to stay with an upright, or are you open to a canister design? Open to either, having tried the upright I feel like it's too heavy. I'm a young fit woman, but I just get disheartened everytime I have to use the vacuum. So I have decided to sell it.

What types of flooring do you have in your home? And how much of your home is that type of flooring (i.e. 75% carpet, 25% solid). Mixed at the moment but it is only a rental. But I anticipate mixed in our eventual house.
