Strimmer given five stars by hundreds of gardeners no 26% off on Amazon
Amazon has a deal on a strimmer that hundreds of gardeners have rated five stars. At this time of year, gardens waver between parched and slightly overgrown. The brambles and long grass especially seem to really go for it about now, and sometimes the only thing to do is strim, strim, strim. Amazon has a deal on a strimmer that hundreds of gardeners have rated five stars. The Gompuy Strimmer is £43.59 down from £58.99, that's 26% lopped off. The overall 4.1 starred bit of kit is cordless, so no worries about accidentally slicing through the cord while out gardening, and it is designed for small to medium sized gardens, rather than huge ones. It's nice and light and not too loud, plus it comes with plastic and metal blades, to use depending on what needs pruning. There's a pair of gloves and goggles thrown in too, so hands are protected while strimming. Alternatively, give the Flymo Contour XT 300W Corded Grass trimmer from B&Q a go. It does have a cord, but has a 'scrubbing' mode for tackling tricky to reach spots, plus a two year guarantee. Argos has the McGregor 30cm Corded Grass Trimmer - 450W for £45, which is cheaper than the Gompuy, but again, it is corded. It can be used on bushes as well as grass, for keeping everything shipshape. Cordless garden strimmer slashed by 26% on Amazon £58.99 £43.59 Amazon Buy Now on Amazon Product Description One shopper said of the Gompuy strimmer: 'I cannot believe what this little machine can do! I was skeptical from the price but was limited in budget so took the risk and I am so pleased with the results. It is really lightweight too and the battery lasts and lasts. Having a second one is a great bonus. The secateurs are a nice added bonus and aren't actually too bad. As I'm too cheap to buy expensive ones I go through them like the clappers!' A second said: 'I'm really impressed with this for the price. Super lightweight but not at all flimsy. Haven't tried the metal blades yet but the plastic ones are great. Quite study and, because they're held on with a bolt, don't flick off or snap every 2 minutes. Including googles, gloves and a pair of pouring shears is a nice touch.' A third said: 'Great little strimmer, so light and easy to use. Was so happy with it I bought one for my daughter too. Would highly recommend.' However, one customer said: 'The product and accessories were well packaged upon arrival. The strimmer itself is very good for the price, easy to use and simple to put together. The range of blades included is a real plus. The accessories included: the gloves, eye protection and saw were perhaps not of the highest quality but you cannot complain for the price. The 24V batteries last a reasonable time and the cutting performance is quite good for the power.' Another added: 'Ok the pros are : it's not expensive, it's light and easy to use , very easy to change blades etc , and extremely useful. Cons: overheats and cuts out , it's great for very light work only don't try to do to much with it it's just not that robust.'

People say council houses can't look nice but my hallway proves them wrong – EVERYTHING is from B&Q & it ‘gives luxury'
A SAVVY mum who lives in a council house has shared how she gave her plain hallway a stunning glow up whilst on a budget. So if you're desperate to add style to your home but don't know where to start, you've come to the right place and won't want to miss this. 5 5 5 Crystal Jewell, a 32-year-old mum-of-two from the UK, was eager to prove that ' council houses can be nice too,' and on her mission to do so, was able to transform her hallway and turn it from drab to fab in barely any time at all. The savvy DIY enthusiast nabbed cheap buys from B&Q for the makeover and took to social media to give her followers a before, during and after look at the overhaul, leaving many totally stunned. Alongside a short clip shared online, the brunette beauty beamed: 'Panel my hallway with me!' Crystal then said: 'Who said council houses can't be nice too? Let's panel my hallway.' Showing off her home prior to the transformation, she added: 'So this was what it was looking like when I first moved in - not the worst, but not the best. 'I really wanted my entrance way to be warm, cosy and homely. 'I got everything I needed for this project from B&Q - I'm pretty sure they get sick of the sight of me in that store.' To stick the panels to the wall, Crystal used a grab adhesive which cost her just £2.50. She then used a few nails to keep it secure while the glue was drying. Prior to painting, Crystal shared: 'I'm in love already.' And despite "absolutely hating painting,' the DIY fan got stuck in and used the 'cheapest tub of white paint from the Good Home range,' which cost her just £19. Moments later, Crystal, who previously shared how she made her dream dressing table for just £21, showed off the finished hallway, as she beamed: 'I am absolutely in love. Rules on transforming your council house According to Gov, the kind of improvements you can make to your council property depends on the type of tenancy you have. Introductory tenants are usually limited to minor improvements like redecorating inside. If you're a secure tenant, you have the right to carry out improvements to your property. These include: installing a new bathroom or kitchen building an extension putting up a garden shed or greenhouse installing a new gas fire or fireplace cavity wall insulation redecorating the outside of a house fitting an aerial or satellite dish You might need your council's written permission for work you do. Contact your council if you're not sure. 'Now if this isn't giving you cosy, warm, homely vibes, then I don't know what is.' To finish off the hallway, Crystal used wallpaper samples which she framed, to further add glamour to the space without spending any extra cash. She also accessorised the hallway with a vase and foliage from B&M and a storage box from Amazon. DIY enthusiasts gush We think Crystal's DIY panelling is gorgeous and it's clear that many others do too, as the TikTok clip which was posted under the username @ has quickly racked up 55,700 views in less than 24 hours. It's also amassed 2,333 likes and 106 comments, as many eagerly praised the 'fabulous' DIY project. One person said: 'You've done an amazing job. Doesn't matter if it's a council house, it's YOUR home & your castle.' Another added: "It's giving luxury. It looks amazing.' A third commented: 'You've done an absolutely fantastic job, well done you. I love it!' Meanwhile, someone else gushed: 'Looks fabulous.' Not only this, but another user begged: 'Come do mine.'

How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
