WD40 is better as a dispersant (i.e. get rid of water/crud) not a lubricant (i.e. stick to the place you put it to make it smooth).
I've been spraying the wrong stuff on my **** all this time

I might go back to my old method of thinly spreading 3-in-1 oil on both sides of a sheet of paper and using that to lubricate the blades on my new shredder which arrived today. I refuse to pay silly prices for those shredder oiling sheets, which is probably just packs of paper smothered in oil.Yup - WD40 do make a range of actual lubricants - PTFE, silicone etc. but the original stuff is not a lubricant.

No, I'm not. The instructions for most, if not all, shredders advise owners to lubricate the blades each time the bin is emptied. This doesn't seem like such an unreasonable request if you wish to prolong the life of your machine. It's a bit not like following the maintenance advice for your car - look after it and it'll last a long time.Are you shredding magazines?
FapMy wife and the kids have gone away to stay at Chapel St Leonards in a friends Static caravan for a week.
House cleaned top to bottom, washing all done and put away. Just a chest of drawers to dismantle ready for tip run next week. I have two 5 hour shifts this week (Sunday and Monday both 7am till 12 midday).
Just me and the dog and cat till next Saturday.

My arms hurt from assembling 2 new chest of drawers yesterday. Don't think they are up to it to be honest

I felt crappy 2 weeks ago. That soon went but ended up with a cough that's just about gone. ******* annoying waking up at 3am and not able to sleep again for 2 weeks. Fingers crossed its about gone.Feeling ill and pathetic . Feels a lot like I've got covid or some kind of flu, currently sat in the bath contemplating getting some groceries from deliveroo.

Stayed at family's house last night but slept on a ropey sofa bed. Currently lying flat on the sofa to see if it sorts my back out, might try a hot shower next

I think I'll probably survive, it's usually cumulative after a lot of driving. Tends to be my neck more than back and the hot shower helped, fingers crossed!After my slipped disk earlier this year, I can sympathise entirely.
Have you tried frozen peas on it?
