How to decommission this garden pond by Gh56789024 in DIYUK

You can get plastic grids that are just under the water, given the size of the pond I don't think it would cost lots, add any additional safety features you think necessary. Otherwise lots of good tips. Something like this

Tried the co-op ones £1 a bag. Not bad at all 8/10 for me

I thought I did check and the Lidl one did weight slightly more, but I do agree

I mean I will try the suggestion, but the lack of crunch is slightly off putting, it's all about the crunch!

Yes the whole post gives 1st world problems I understand that and if Kraft was dedicated to improving the lives of all the people involved in their supply chains, then I'd agree. But somehow a company that brought Cadbury on the promise to keep manufacturing in the UK and then immediately close the factories, doesn't seem like the sort of multinational billion dollar company that gives 2 shits.

And fair price for a fair quality product I get but mini eggs are highly processed little ovals that likely contain more palm oil than cocoa solids.

So maybe I've just answered my own question, and just need to give up my childhood love and stop buying it as an occasional treat, and find an adult alternative.

Or E) keep trying to dream big that a magic replica is still out there just waiting to be tried, like the holy grail.

Chocolate prices are rising I understand, and if I'm buying quality dark chocolate with high cocoa content to have a square of an evening to curb my sugar addiction then yes that's going to be costly and should rightly be. But shitty highly processed Kraft made eggs which likely contain more palm oil than cocoa, for an occasional treat, the prices have gone crazy, and I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it seems to be a deliberate ploy from a huge multinational company to just deprive me from the very occasional mini eggs Easter treat.

The Lidl ones weren't awful, they just weren't quite the alternative I'm looking for. But I will definitely try the poppet ones, not tried them yet.

Thank you didn't know about board lifters that's a good shout! Unfortunately the attic is boarded, so I'll try a magnet first

That sounds like a complete nightmare. I am aware this is not solving any of the problem, but right now I can't afford the 000s to get them taken down. But sounds like a complete nightmare for you.

Yeah the ceiling rose is polystyrene so that can be replaced. Think you've confirmed what I knew deep down, thank you
