received another purchase from ebay today ...

A honda UMK 431 petrol strimmer

paid £145 plus £20 shipping via courier .... it was a buy it now

before purchasing, I asked the seller if the strimmer was in good condition ... I was assured that it was in perfect condition ...

received it today .... there is no airfilter ... and the cutting head (part where you add the nylon) is missing a part

starts 1st time though

will cost a few pounds to get sorted, but still a bargain ... I may as well have it fully serviced as these are very good

I will leave positive 5 star feedback and not mention the faults,and I will not email the seller as I don't think the lady knew what to check for

(my wife is moaning and saying I should always buy new ... but a new Honda strimmer of this size costs approx £400)

 

Saw your post on this strimmer the other day Dim. Shame it`s not perfect working order but as you say, a few quid to put it right still makes it a 'good buy'.

 

I was going to wait until we went to Cornwall to start replacing my Sollya, but as a local indy nursery was selling them reduced for just six quid I had to buy now................





Makes extra space in the car for other things when we go down there, so win win all round I reckon!

 

Hi All,

Got a Heuchera £2.29, Verbena £1.49, Geranium £1, trug £3 and 10x4ft canes £1.50.


Got them from a garden center that supports people with disabilities, i am going to put a thread in the 'Retailer feedback' section. Worth a look for anyone in the birmingham area. I wish i got more Geraniums now though.

not a purchase, but the in-laws gave me a water butt and fittings, a watering can and 4 ferns!

i'm a happy chappy

 

Love that Sollya, longk. I'm determined to grow it myself next year.
Rusty a nice little collection and for a good cause, great bargains.

I'm down in London for a few days and going to lurk at a quaint little garden centre tomorrow where they usually have some quirky unusual plants.

 

The Sollya does need winter protection - I lost my three year old plants last winter through my own stupidity

The name of this quaint little garden centre is????

 

brilliant!! even if you only get this year from them, for less than two pounds and fifty pence, its a bargain!!

 

Dwarf banana is Musa acuminata, far too tender to winter outside, but if you get bananas then they will be edible. Also known as dwarf Cavendish banana.

 

Hey the pots have turned yellow already :-)

There's lots on offer at B & Q I noticed today. I didn't buy anything, I'll wait and see if the prices come down a bit more. The reduced Cosmos looked very healthy and I was tempted.
