I didn't know they had little baskets Laney! I will go out later and check it out but the sprinklers that are a problem pop back into the ground when they are not turned on and it's hard to do anything with them. They are supposed to oscillate but they just stay still.
The above ground sprinklers (little ones) are easy to fix. Usually you can just remove the sprinkler and shake out the dirt and they are good.

Hi j*oono - ours are the ones which disappear into the ground too but you can unscrew them and lift the baskets out (if they are the same sorts of course). The 'baskets' are sitting on the kitchen windowsill and the sprinklers are working just fine now lol

Just experienced something new when trying to buy something from the UK.
I have never seen a seller set buyer requirements to 'place a credit card on file' before the purchase can proceed - especially when I was planning on using paypal anyway ![]()
Guess I am going to have to venture onto the buying boards and ask a question so as not to contravene the CS rules .... it certainly got me hitting the back button and proceeding no further ... was not even permitted to seek an exemption as seller not accepting messages.

Good luck Laney ๐

On reflection, think I will just look elsewhere to purchase ...........

Now I've stuffed myself with brunch Laney I thought I would go and have a look. If a seller has a merchant account then they can set up credit card payments and they don't have to also accept Paypal payments. It's probably legit but even so, I wouldn't want to place my credit card "on file". They seem to be jumping the gun.
There is some info on this page if that helps.

Evening folks ![]()
Thanks for that info j*oono - since their advert shows they accept Paypal I cannot see any justification for giving them my CC details. Will go elsewhere.
Glad you agree Deb ![]()
Ours ARE invisible Deb and caught out a friend who chose to sleep on our back patio one night during a dreadful heatwave as she hated airconditioning lol. She got a very rude awakening when the sprinklers gave her an early morning shower ![]()
Flashie have your OH's holidays finished now? ![]()
Not watching TV here - have to repair to the kitchen and organise dinner.
Came home from the art show with my bank balance undented so I better sing for my supper (and the drawing lol).
