Don't envy you the BMW problems, I had enough of them :mad:

Bangernomics has a lot to be said for it!

Even with BMW. This is a low mileage car for its age so if we can get it to stop playing up, should be OK.

Unfortunately even aftermarket bits out here cost a bomb - got quoted about £500 for the first part of the exhaust (the cat bit) but got a roughly eqiv bit off Ebay in the UK for £80 delivered.

Come on you fairies of luck

I just used one of mine in B&Q, however, my mom was given one as a (real) gift, and everywhere she tried to use it, it was declined. My sister used it in B&Q no problem and gave mom the money.

Thanks. I've emailed One4all to ask about it.

Do B&Q sell sell gift cards? I wonder if I could use the One4all to buy one of those pre-paid visa things?

Has anyone tried to use their One4all cards in stores?

I just tried to use at HMV, but they were all 'Declined', even though all the balances are there.

Used one in halfords yesterday, the Guy did say he'd try it as they'd had trouble with them and mine went through first time- he looked very surprised!

They do sell gift cards just saw them at the till, but I think they were all B&Q ones sorry

Good Afternoon all, in M and S today they have large hollow milk chocolate eggs 300 grams half price at £2.50 the size is quite impressive but nothing inside them. In Home
Bargains I saw the large treasure eggs all 3 types for 79p

You can all thank me now lol as I've even tasted the said egg and I can confirm its rather nice and well worth the £2.50 judging by the price of Easter eggs that is :rotfl::EasterBun:easter_os
ee p everyone

Would you be so kind as to point to the bit that makes you think red/ black doesn't count?

Can't see it myself but not too brilliant at the small print sometimes.

Thanks

PAINT POD

I bought one last year (not mini but full size) and was the best thing I have ever done. No mess when painting and one pod of paint did the whole of the downstairs of my 3 bed house including ceilings. I bought the extension pole for ceiling and cos it pumps the paint out I just walk up and down room methodically to do ceilings.
The parts are very cheap to replace and easy to get online (I threw away the little stick thing that goes in roller) the machine cleans itself although needs cycle doing 2 or 3 times. I take roller off and wash properly as well.
If you are decorating walls and ceilings different colours then they recommend a seperate pipe tubing for each colour.

Mse or not I consider it really worth the money. The pods use the paint sparingly although 2 coats is needed and when painting walls white I got none of the 'flashing' I have had using a hand brush or roller in the past.
Only drips if you pump too much paint which makes the roller slide accross the wall.
Only downside I had was had to replace a set of batteries in hand thing straight away but think I had bought old stock with dud batteries.
Being elite batteries are always well stocked in house so not a problem.
