Congrats to Simon on both the marriage and the new car

And shut it, garden implement cable severers

At least you showed initiative and repaired it. I'd run out of time so just did some profuse swearing and then put it back in the cupboard

ETA: apologies Jobbo for the thread hijack & congrats on the nuptials.

Hey, I'm guessing GG isn't the first of us to nip something important whilst trimming his bush.

Using that criteria, he certainly isn't. Not recommended!!

Caution is also best exercised with heated towel rails IME.

Just to try to do everything within one year (completed house purchase on 28 June last year) we also went to see three kittens today. We collect them in a couple of weeks

You'd better be on your way to the Cat thread to post pics!

Nothing like cramming all those life events into the shortest possible time

I managed to move job, have a baby (well not me obviously) and get married in 6 months between September 2015 and March 2016. Thank god I didn’t move house too or I think I probably would’ve lost my mind

I managed new job, new house, new car, new wife, pregnant wife in about 18 months, sadly I don’t own a hedge trimmer yet. Though judging from this thread I reckon I’ll get a cordless one...

Congrats on the wedding Mr and Mrs Jobson!

Thanks all No plans to change job nor for pregnancy

Kitten photos will follow when we actually have them.

Volvo ownership! You've truly arrived. Does look good, I approve.

And congrats on the nuptials

I have both a cordless electric and a petrol hedge trimmer so I’ve never been able to chop through the cable.

Not to be completely left out, I chopped straight through the TV cable that feeds behind a bush and through the lounge wall. Best of all I didn’t realise. We had no TV for 2 weeks until we finally got an appointment with a Sky repair man. Boy was I popular when he pointed out that there was nothing wrong with the dish or box.

What is the full spec? Looks lovely.

The Bosch AHS 45-16 corded hedge trimmer is lightweight yet powerful with a 420 W motor, ideal for smaller sized hedges

It has a 45 cm diamond ground blade with a 16 mm tooth opening for a clean, precise cut. Its ergonomic and lightweight design make it comfortable to use in any position too.

I asked for that

I do like a Swedish estate! That one looks lovely.

Many congratulations on the wedding.

really like that, very cool

Like these - Sat in one when we went to look at the V60.

I should probably talk up the fact that it's pretty much a Golf R underneath. 310bhp and Haldex 4wd
