Screwfix are having a clear out, lots of stuff under a squid. Wall plugs,
cable ties, plumbing bits, hardware, electrical bits etc. Yesterday they
had Cerafix silicone @ 99p a tube but that seems to have gone now.

Well worth 10 mins of browsing for bargains. I needed some Turbogolds @£27
and made up the order with useful bits.

My local B&Q did similar about a year ago. To make room for the scatter
cushions.

Have you seen the COSHH sheet for the Magic Tree Air Freshner in that link?

"After inhalation Supply fresh air and to be sure call for a doctor"

Interesting reading indeed! )

However, what makes a person routinely think, "Hmm, I'll have a look at the
COSHH sheet for that"? )

Well it was the picture of a lorry with a yellow warning triangle that made
me look. The COSHH sheet was a link next to the lorry icon.

My thinking is that the Screwfix delivery driver can buy a Magic Air
Freshner from a garage and hang it in the cab but he cannot deliver a Magic
Air Freshner to a customer!

Having smelt a Magic Air Freshner in a taxi last night (new phone so I did
not have to walk home again) I can say that the COSHH sheet is good advice.

The full product is here

Homobase did it years ago. Went in recently (only because I was working 100
yds away) for some mortar plasticiser - they don't sell it. As I said to
the spotty yoof "my mistake, I though it was a DIY store".

Those places have a new definition for DIY

Decorate It Yourself

This is generally the limit for the practically challenged populus of today.

It's better in the rural areas I find. Down at the allotments on
Saturday we were building some raised beds for the kids at the school
(there's a teacher very keen on getting the kids into growing stuff) -
and most people seemed to be able to wield tools.

Now all we need is a water pump to lift from the stream over the berm
(that's another thread).

Shovelling about 3 tons of soil between us got me in the mood to move
the 4 "ton" bags of sand and aggregate that's been sitting on the front
lawn - managed to barrow it round the back in 2 half days - I surprised
myself!
