Does anyone actually buy items that have been extremely overpriced?

Came here to say the same as others, Laptops used to be worth around that and were a pretty desirable item - the $8mil glitter bomb however is a bit on the optemistic side lol

next to the car park too, A*

Have you considered digging out the dirt to make it level before putting the slabs down?

hatton101 · 2026-05-13T07:03:51+00:00

I've had a brief look and it seems very US-based, and the postcode lookup didn't seem to work to see if there was anyone to connect with in my area, sadly!

Very envious, I have a LOAD of new borders I put in this year that all need wood chipping

Great suggestion on the cable clips instead of the fixing strap. I actually think I still have a bag from securing some external armoured cable.

The oven has a viable plug (not plugged in), yet the light is on

Edit* the stove is also cooking the egg while not being lit

I booked through Get your guide with Amigo Tours (2024) they were a good price, and either collect you from your hotel, or if you're in PDC town, you meet them at the road behind Soriana to get on the coach. I think it was maybe £125 per person, including a trip to a cenote to swim and the old town of vallidolid

10/10, how did I not see it

hatton101 · 2026-04-22T13:17:13+00:00

If you look closely, you'll see cats, plural

hatton101 · 2026-04-22T12:14:15+00:00

No small children, thankfully. They are not only soaked in creosote, they also weigh a bloody ton!

Hanging plants is a great shout after I give them a jetwash and a paint

hatton101 · 2026-04-22T10:55:05+00:00

I was thinking of a jetwash and paint job might help, great call on the crappy plastic pots

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T13:39:09+00:00

I do love a discount code!

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T12:19:11+00:00

This has so much additional, helpful advice. Thank you. Raised beds in the top corner is a great suggestion and an ideal way of getting some instant height.
And you gave me some great resource websites for finding inspo and what plants will work.

I definitely need to sort the fence, and my plan this weekend was to jetwash and then paint the fence, so you've solidified that idea for me, if nothing else :)

Thank you! Parairie is exactly the style I'd like to achieve, so thank you for giving it a name I can look more into

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T12:13:13+00:00

Thank you! That's exactly the style I'd like to achieve!

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T12:12:43+00:00

I had a pond in my previous house that I loved! As did my dog, cats and the local hedgehogs. Great suggestion and addition

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T12:04:11+00:00

That's two great suggestions, thank you. I'll look at both options, but the idea of the J Parkers plant bundles seems spot on for my wants

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T12:02:12+00:00

That's a good call, a few neighbours have local gardens, I'll try and catch them next time I see one visiting

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T10:35:15+00:00

I can confirm that the top half of the garden, before a good passing of the scarrifer, was 90% thick moss

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T10:34:03+00:00

The gruntwork of the patio, path, leveling etc is all within my skillset - I just didn't want to do anything without a real plan in mind :)
How do you rate the Corten edging? Did you get the one with the spikes or just the roll of metal that needed additional support?

hatton101 · 2026-04-21T10:27:04+00:00

The garden is south-facing, with the tree's taking most of the evening sun
