oh Laney, my Aunt's Cousin's sister's friend ,a man who specialises in such things

told me that they are everywhere .It can't be possible that you haven't seen them  for years 

Prim, I owned one before but the wheel got bent from using it to open a can of paint lol, so I chucked it out. It was easy to use, but I don't do garden edges...just along the footpath and gutter.

Prim did you buy one of those ones with the blade that cuts deep into the soil? They do a great job. I'd be cringing in case I hit the cement 🙂

To be honest Iza - I had forgotten all about them until Karen mentioned them and I have not actually been looking for them either 

 

I recall my Grandfather using one and that was probably the last time I thought of them lol lol

 

Another edit dammit!  You have all got me thinking now - I will go looking ...... less damage than a whipper snipper in the hands of some lol

I've been reading around .. I was inspired to type that 

My Mum actually like  to use one ....sometimes in her bikini ...how embarrassing lol

Laney I have been trimming my box hedges with sheers, very time consuming,have never used an electric hedge trimmer before

If I could, I would post a picture of one, just to make you think of them some more 😄

I get your drift Iza 

 

OMG Deb - an electric one?  Arrrrgh - I hate those things with cords trailing behind!

 

We tried a Flymo mower years ago - used to give me the willies - I was always concerned someone would run over the cord and ZAP!!!!!!

Like this one Karen?

 

No no no, Iza, don't pick up bad habits from around these traps rofl!

I insist you don't.

No, don't pick up bad habits.

Don't post like that.

Add here a new rule.

And another.

And a few more to suit my agenda.

Are you on topic? Am I?

Look, those topic is about string or something. How is your comment relevant to string?

Ok, I'm done channelling the bossy boots lol

Lol @ your mum doing the edges in her togs haha!
.

Yeah it's a bit scary Laney so I'll get OH to try it out. & I'll watch. Luckily we have an outdoor power point near the hedge lol
