i got a hire one in lockdown 1 and got it in my 3 door peugeot 106 (2001). where there's a will, there's a way.

With winter approaching I thought i'd check my UPVC window seals for the first time in my flat. I shoved a bit of paper in each corner of the window and closed it to see if it could hold the paper in place i.e. the seals were good. The lock-side of two windows is not great. Can hear traffic...

Fellow wallington-er! We get off quite well in terms of price around here considering the distance and transport to London. I think more folks will move out to this ring (zone5/6) around London. A bit longer commute but a bit less days in the office to save some cash and get a less metropolitan...

In the market for a shed as well. Ordered from Tiger 2 weeks ago for a punt and never got contacted about delivery. chased it up this week and they are estimating 9th September for my delivery. I'm not even having them assemble it, just deliver. Safe to say i'm going for a full refund but a lot...

Had a crazy paved path to joint recently. Because the gaps between cracked slabs are bigger than your typical sandstone rectangualr slabbed patio, easyjoint was going to be about £300 to get the job done. Ended up spending about £35 and did it with mortar. Took me over a day and was quite boring...

I've just done a wall 3 sleepers high (600mm) and this was the way to do it imo. I considered vertical sleeper posts behind the horisontal wall to look cleaner but the weight behind the wall will be pushing those horizontal sleepers away which are only secured by the timberlok screws. With time...

Curzon cinemas have already been through this. They release their films on curzon home cinema at the same time as actual cinemas. Because of this, their films are boycotted by all major cinema chains.. vue, odeon, cineworld.. even picturehouse. They want to have exclusivity to show the film and...

There's actually a huge new development going on about 100m from my property - 800+ homes built (half are done).. I wonder if that would have an impact? Definitely some PTFE tape on a couple of rad valves but if there were some inside a pipe somewhere flaking off, i would've thought it would...

Ok here's a weird one i'm having with my water supply. Over a year ago I started developing a lot of white dusty flakes on my washing that, when washed and dried (hang/radiator/tumble) would fly off in their masses and coat my room in dust. I have to dust 2-3 times a week or the furniture is...

Gentlemen of OCUK I am in need of your stag do wisdom. I'm looking to organise a big ol' getaway for about 15 chaps next May for 2-3 nights, ages from about 16 to 60. We're opting to stay in the country and quite fancy the idea of getting a large house (or neighbouring houses) that can...

I ran a 6min rinse cycle (no spin) and bowl one - pretty dusty/sandy: https://imgur.com/1FKbN0F I ran another 6min rinse cycle with no spin and bowl two - still quite dusty, harder to see in the pic but you can make out the bigger bits: https://imgur.com/otoeZHp Then i opened up the bottom and...

Yep hard as nails - in south london so not far from you. The inside of the drum looks fine, but the exterior has got that odd coating on it. Over the weekend I ran the longest (90min) and hottest (95 degree) wash 4 times. Once with citric acid (250g), once with Dr Beckmann Service-It deep clean...

After ignoring this problem hoping it would go away, i'm back on the case. LG don't want to know (out of warranty). Call me crazy but the build-up of crap (limescale) in this video can't be right!? I've done countless hot washes/tub cleans with all sorts of chemicals but the exterior part of the...

booked 8 months in advance for a gatwick to chicago o'hare return flight. A week before departure they text me saying they wet-leased the flight to Wamos Air.. the plane would have no in flight entertainment and restricted on-board luggage space. I googled that, saw the horror stories, and got a...

Hi folks. Having some odd issues with my new Asus monitor. When watching videos or playing games with fast camera motion or movements.. parts of the screen start showing green pixels for brief moments, usually outlining the image that is moving fast. It gets worse on dark backgrounds as the...

I'm also in a 1ish bedroom 1st floor flat, mix of laminate and carpet. Got the 30c when it was discounted (£200).. works wonders. Had to lay one of the strips down to stop it going into the bathroom as it had a tendancy to get stuck under the toilet :rolleyes:

What a steal! Considering it for £269 but might wait for a sale!

In for a response to this. Missed the drop in price but looking for something simple and the Eufy 11 seems to get a lot of buzz for the cost.. but as it's an older model I wonder if there's something else worth getting (or spending a bit more to get the 30c!)

Tried two liquids (ecover and fairy non-bio) both in the dispenser and in the drum. Good shout on the generic stuff - wasn't sure if I got suckered into the brand name!

Hi folks In the past couple months i've developed an issue with my washing coming out of my LG washer dryer. Regardless of whether I use the dryer function, the washing coming out will have white sand/flakes on the clothes that comes off when I shake/fold/move them. This only happens once dried...
