    I've done that once with my phone with greenwaste and once with my wallet on the roof of the car at a garage sale. Very lucky both times to get them back!


    Grumpy today though as parts broke off one of my small Solo sprayers that I only bought 6 months ago. Starting to make me wonder if the sprayers a few of us have bought from the same eBay store are the real-deal or not....

    That's the thing we take our best care around windows but really should we liable for broken glass caused by stones pebbles or other crap left in lawns?

    Halfwit truck drivers and most of them are, that drive on lawns and ruin them with wheel tracks . Imagine the poo we would be in if we did that to some ones work.

    Painters. They park on the lawn even if there's room on the road. Then they wash their brushes right in the middle of the lawn. Do they learn this at trade school ?

    Earlier this year I was tidying a quality house lawns/garden for settlement. Was mowing the lawns around the front of the house and twice the carpet cleaning F/Witt emptied the gunk from his machine 10 feet from the front door onto the lawn.
    Felt like throttling him, but refrained and went next door to where the home owner was having a goodbye coffee with the neighbour. Told him he had a carpet cleaner F/Witt that was a drop kick and that there would be mess on his front lawn.
    Imagine us emptying our catcher on the carpet after he had been cleaned it. Especially for the carpet bloke to do it with me there and the owner next door.
    Cheers Garry

    Yeah painters they are bad, how many times do you go to jobs and the painters have been in and painted the grass. Hows this one I do a display home and the cleaner a shiela washed the up stairs balcony off with god knows what, but she has covered the garden under the balcony with this potent mix, killed all the plants and the grass, smart girl with NFI Im waiting for the call, what have I done to the plants

    I like when digging into garden beds for plantings you discover "Builders Mix".

    Merrylands turf underlay.....for those not in the know it's made up of roof tiles, house bricks, concrete, the caps off those silicone sealant tubes, insulation offcuts, blue metal, the occasional bit of asbestos, and other various leftover building material

    Just heading off to the airport to pick up friends who were due to arrive in melbourne from the sunshine coast at 3PM. first plane got delayed till 4, 5 and 6 PM, eventually cancelled all together. They were bused to Brisbane for a 9:50PM flight to Melbourne arriving here at half past midnight. Should be back home around 2am, than have to get kids off to school in the morning, watch out Marie think I'll fall asleep while pruning your hedge in the morning. Thanks Jetstar.

    Being an employee again instead of a business owner. I have a co worker that is pissing me off big time. Oh I wish I could tell the snide bitter little twerp to find work elsewhere.

    Aww Poor Kathryn. You mean you would rather be out in the countryside, just poking along mowing & gardening, no one looking over your shoulder and getting paid for it ?
    Me too... and loving it!! Hehe

    When are you & Pete going to call in for a coffee?
