philmayfield 6,267 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 If you’ve got that for £20 then you’ve got real a bargain. I’ve got a similar Stihl setup and it cost considerably more than that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,472 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 One of the best 'results' on here for a long time.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,756 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm hoping this turns into a result. Battery on my 3 year old Smartphone is dying. Takes all day to charge and goes flat quickly. So. Looked online for vids how to fix it. It's a Samsung A3 2016, which has a glass back which is glued on. Anyway, seems straightforward enough. Battery £7, double sided tape to stick glass back on (Special narrow stuff for phones) £1.70. and a set of assorted plastic and metal tools for prising and generally poking about without causing damage.. 3 quid. All from Amazon. If it all works out I make that a revitalised phone for under 12 quid. Has to be worth a shot.. Here's hoping.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Some weeks ago I bought a pack of six cans of Heinz baked beans with "no added sugar" by accident - someone must have put them in the stack of standard Heinz beans and I picked them up without noticing. Last weekend I determined to use them up and have done with them (I don't really like them) and so I opened a can from the pack. I then turned arouond to mash a pot of tea and when I turned back the beans were beginning to climb out of the can and escape! I concluded that they must have been contaminated so I popped off an email to Heinz and lo! Yesterday I received a written apology and £5 in vouvhers valid for ANY Heinz product. I Can now use up the rermainder of the cans (The second can was ok) and still buy ten tins of proper Heinz beans...........RESULT! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,472 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Woohoo I've read my mail and it says I won the Lottery 'Set For Life' game. So now I'm set for life, great! I'm a bit worried though, it's only £5 - do they know something I don't? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Yesterday I bought a new log burner. The price was £990. When it came to paying, the shop owner charged me £950 and I thought nothing of it at the time but when I got home I thought - hang on a minute.........I bought a fire, a length of flue with an offest and the fire, for £950? Something's not right. So I phoned the shop and said I thought they might have undercharged me. They were grateful for me pointing this out and would I mind paying them an extra £40 (to make it up to the £990 for the fire) and I could have the flue pipe for free (should have been £60 on top of the fire price.). When they delivered the fire this morning they had bunged a few more extras in for free; which was nice. Glad I shopped local now RESULT! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,300 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 One for Jill - one of our cat's 'Samson' stood up to the new dog today instead of running off. Amazing how a cat can double it's size when confronted. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I bought a clock from Hawkins Bazaar two weeks ago. I noticed that it had stopped on Friday. Close examination revealed that the card face had not been properly fixed to the backing and it was touching the hour hand, causing it to jam. I informed Hawkins and asked for directions of what to do now. Just had an email from them: Hawkins are sending me a replacement and have told me to bin the faulty clock. I shall fix the faulty clock and keept it.... Two clocks for the price of one......RESULT! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 £90 Brew? How much have you paid in to win that money? I reckon I have won the equivalent of about a thousand quid by not doing the lottery 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
