Garden trimmer
We bought the trimmer from aldi in april thinking it would twist in the middle of the unit so we could cut the grass on the edge vertical and horizontal so pretty much like the old 1 did(think it was a balck and decker). ut it doesnt let you do that and the plastic line breaks 2 or 3 times when you use it.

New boiler needed - which type?
The existing boiler, the standard type with tanks, has stopped igniting. The boiler engineer took one look and said it needed replacing and quoted for a combi. Perhaps it is repairable but the boiler is around 30 years old so I accept that I've had a good run and it may well be time to bite the bullet. My question - it's a…
