Default Silly question maybe........

I have a brand new pressure washer, but because of customs being funny about things I wont be bringing my garden hose. So will an australian hose have the same fittings.

Going to use both the pressure washer and hose today for the last time cleaning all the garden equipment. We were then going to clean the hoses down and take them - is this not recommended?

Those that we can clean. Need to sort it all out today as doing the dreaded car boot tomorrow. Don't really want to do it and would rather just give all the stuff to charity but the other half is insistent on it! I also need to sort out stuff for e-bay as we leave in under 6 weeks and we haven't done anything really, except sell my car! I think we got a bit complacent as we have relocation agents but it has just dawned on us that we ought to get our fingers out now as we are busy for every weekend from now on :scared:

If you get a tin of hammerite and paint your garden tools up they will look brand new and sparkling clean

Staying at the Madarin Oriental and booked a suite - well not going to get much of a holiday this year so I thought we would splash out. Step-son however, is a 'normal' room!!! What a wicked step-mother am I!?

Nah, late night snack for me!

Reminds me of the movie 'Falling Down'. Michael Douglas saying 'whats wrong with this picture. Big juicy burger and then you hand me this piece of crap'.

Damn that looks like nice burger

Arrrggghhh hunger,

Or clean in caustic soda (don't know the spelling but that's how it sounds).
Drop 'em in, leave an hour and they come out sparkling, no hard work involved and no drying time needed.
We're taking our jet wash, gonna give it a good clean first though.
Anyone know if we'll get in with a petrol lawn mower or should we just flog it.

Checked up steam cleaning on yell.com. Local guy's coming to steam clean mower and barbecue for £5 each. Thank goodness something's easy.
