abwsco Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Amazon have Gelert folding shovels for £3.97. Ideal for the boot of the car. Linky Go to more buying choices to see the Amazon cheap price. I've ordered one for our car and one for DD's. DH thinks I'm losing the plot. He won't be saying that though if we need to use them - lol Edited August 11, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Feels like the middle of winter here already, it's so wet . So I didn't take much persuading, one has been ordered . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Think it's a good idea to be prepared long before - the prices shoot up and you may not get one if there is a bad winter and everybody wants them at the same time. We did that with the big snow shovels last year. OH had made some boards out of hardboard - which worked well initially but when we spotted them in the summer sale we bought one for each of us - to take in the car and for home. People gave us funny looks at the time. So when the snow came this time we were well prepared and it made light work of the trip down to the chickens - managed to clear lots off the grass too. And "Ooops, word censored!"ody mention that C word - it's too early even if Harrods usually starts in August!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 That reminds me, I must get my Chimneys swept, stock up on some rock salt for the drive and order some Yaktrax for Him Indoors. I like the look of that little shovel. Am going to order one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Ohhh no I don't want to think of snow, I hate the stuff, driving in it terryfies me Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Going to arrange for my boiler to be serviced asap! It's usually the pumps that go wrong with all the limescale here - thank goodness for the immersion heater switch and the gas fire and a couple of electric fan heaters for those New Year days when the darned things fail to work!

abwsco Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yep, I need to book a chimney sweep as well. We got some "ice melt" stuff last year and still have some supplies left so OK on that front. As for the C word someone on another forum I use has finished all of their present shopping already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
