  1. Thanks also mega, I will send you a pm with my contact details as this could well be useful! I am reasonable with 2 stroke engines myself so I could take a look first or as you say take them somewhere if it's beyond me. Thanks again, people's willingness to help is really improving my current mood! Alex
  2. Thanks Andy, I'll probably give you a call later as and take you up on the very kind offer! I agree it must have been targeted. The circumstances seem to me to that it could have been nothing else! The only thing that seems strange is a guy across the road saw them and the kit got bundled in to the back of a car, not a van as you would expect if it was to order!? Sadly he didn't get the reg otherwise I might have a better chance of ever seeing it again!!! Thanks again Alex
  3. Hi, I had nearly £1000 of equipment stolen from the back of my van in hangingwater today. I am posting here as I know a few local gardeners post here. It is professional equipment so the thieves may try to sell to local gardeners or landscapers. I am reluctant to post exactly what it was but if anyone gets offered any stihl gardening gear at a price that might seem too good to be true then please pm me with details! I have lost a good part of my livelihood so would be grateful for any info anyone has and could offer a modest reward for any info that leads to the return of this equipment. Thanks in advance, Alex
  4. Hi, Nematodes are basically parasites that live in the soil and feed on slug lavae! Nice thought I know!......You can plant vegetables straight away and can apply them to the soil if you've already planted. They will not harm any wildlife apart from slugs. Many are naturally active in the soil anyway (some good some bad, there are 1000's of species). The ones you buy are just more effective straight away against slugs! Cheers Alex
  5. Indeed - and I did apologise in advance! Just the natural pedant in me. No hard feelings I hope.
  6. Have you considered using Nematodes? It's coming up to the time of year to apply them and they can be very effective. Perhaps a bit more than pellets but if you're thinking of buying in bulk then they might be the right option? Hope this helps. Alex
  7. Hi, Got some off cuts of carpet and underlay going spare if anyone would like to collect them from crosspool area. Could possibly drop them off to the local allotments, hagg lane, rivelin etc. Feel free to contact me on 0777 246 6897 if you've a use for it. Regards Alex
  8. Hi, It looks like B&Q do almost exactly the same door for the same price. They also do a 10% price beat so you could go in and tell them that and get the 4 doors for £72 and not have to get rid of a surplus door! Just a thought, hope it helps! ---------- Post added 23-01-2013 at 13:28 ---------- or thinking about it more, go and tell them you want five doors at B&Q, and that wickes would do this for £75 so they should knock off £7.50 - then go and see if you could get your money back for the extra one a few days later.....can you tell i'm a bit bored today....?
  9. Like Chez2 says you should negotiate shorter payment terms for more favourable rates. I found the bigger the company you work for the longer you wait for your money in general. This can be disastrous for cash flow! Overall I would choose option b) If you feel you can do some of the work yourself you may find potential clients are happy to wait a month or two to have work done anyway. Once you get paid from that work, then it is expansion time! Walk before you can run as the saying goes. Hope this helps. Alex
  10. I sent you a PM on this (in case you're not logged in!)
  11. Hi, yes I do, please call or pm me and I will let you know where to collect. Cheers Alex
  12. Hi, Slightly overestimated on a turfing job so have by about 4 square metres so if anyone could use this then it is free to good home. I could drop it off if it's local to S10 or a bit further afield for a diesel contribution. Call me on 0777 246 6897 if interested. Best to call as I log in infrequently so I may miss a PM - it was delivered on friday afternoon so really needs laying over the next couple of days. It is Sykes stadium grade turf. Cheers Alex
  13. Which parts of southwest Sheffield have / had green bins?
