Random Irritations

Working for a company who's stock system is the biggest load of cobblers I've ever come across. I'd email an tell them but for the fact I'm getting loads, and I mean loads, of stuff at crazy cheap prices. Xmas is already sorted. Cheers hic hic
 
Put an offer in on a property yesterday morning and have heard nothing since.

But you are not in a position to go forward yet, you need to get your own house on the market first and get that sale agreed, only then will buyers take you seriously,

You need to say goodbye to this house you’ve found, as someone else will come along in a better position to go forward.

It’s tough out there.

That's the situation up here as well. If you haven't sold your house yet then sellers wont touch you. It's a seller's market, there are plenty of buyers out there.

My electric shaver, a Philips, has stopped holding its charge. It's gone from about 10 days to 5 days to 2 days. It's only about 2 yrs old but these things are sealed and you cannot simply change the battery.

I bet you can, it's just knowing where the split point is;)
 
@Bunkermagnet do you know how to remove this built in IKEA MW?

It just trips the rcd all the time now and I want to take it out and just put a cheap replacement into the hole. Having a new kitchen next year.

Looking at a few online videos it looks like I need to take the side pieces off but I’ve had no luck!

Stupid thing is I fitted it about 12 years ago!

I haven't played with them ones, but I would imagine the black plastic side trims must pop off to reveal the screws that secure it. They probably snap into place, so some levering with a flat balde screw driver should help.
That would be my approach anyway:)
 
Well, I'm sure that is true ?. I might be able to open it, maybe even find a replacement battery, but could I close and seal it safely ??. Doubtful.
Is it a wet and dry one then?
If not, the plastic bodies usually sit real tight so hardly anything can get in. Thats how Braun did it anyway:)

Stuff is supposed to last a 'reasonable time' by law even if it's out of warranty. It's reasonable for a shaver to last more than two years. Contact Philips to see if they are willing to do anything for you.

I was out this morning and whilst being grumpy about this thought I'd check my emails for a receipt and warranty registration, I am slightly nerdy like that. I found the info, I bought it in March 2021 and I have a 3 year warranty on it ?. I just need to upload the invoice to their site tomorrow, easier on my works computer, and they will take it back and replace with a new one. No more irritation ?

I very much doubt that is the case with an electric razor...
 
Mrs Colch!!!!!

She appears to believe that I have started defecating money. We moved in to the new house two weeks ago after getting a new lounge carpet fitted. Since we have moved in she has now got quotes for all the remaining carpets to be replaced, all the windows and doors to be replaced, remodelling of the bathroom and replacing the hot water tank as "it's not big enough", a downstairs toilet to be put in the existing porch with a new porch built and the front door to be moved, knocking out the chimney to increase the room sizes and knocking out a wall between the kitchen and dining room and replacing the kitchen. And she's got someone coming next week to see about knocking down the summer house and replacing it with a garden room for her to work in. And that's just the quotes so far, she still has plans for the garden that we haven't so quotes for - YET!!!!

I think we may be sharing a wife.

Yes, I know how it is supposed to work, the bloke from the agency told me this, which I already knew, but who actually does it? Think about it. You sell your house, and then have to actually find one that you like. How stupid is this? It's like chucking out all your clothes and then wandering about the shops, naked, looking for some stuff you like and want to buy. I've never bought a house this way. I've always looked first, put a bid in, then put mine on the market. What if you sold your house and then you can't find another one? Do you leave it until the very last second and pull out of the deal, which would make your buyers a tad annoyed? Nope, I wouldn't want some bloke, or woman for that matter, knocking on my door in that situation thank you very much.

The agent could at least tell us the response from the seller. My guess is they just haven't contacted them at all, which is wrong.

FYI there is a bracket that comes out from the side of the MW that you release using this tiny Allen key screw…
