like the good shepherd who knows all his sheep, I know all my tools and I'd know if one suddenly became new again! personally I think you've overreacted a bit here but anyway what's done is done so best of luck with it. just don't let it escalate and do something like burning down the garden shed to cover your tracks!

LOL

I can assure that Mr D is not a "Tommy Walsh" type, so I'd say he'd hardly know what is in the shed. However, he definitely would remember that it was a corded hedgecutter as opposed to cordless, hence the need for a new one.

and furthermore we will contacting Mr d... in the near future "unless of course you buy me a new hedge trimmer...."

Good Luck with tracking Mr D 007 down

I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I'm absolutely raging with myself for doing something as stupid as cutting the cable (even though it was an accident). The hedge cutter is only a year old so I will give it to my dad so it won't go to waste.

I have found a similar model in Argos for about €80 so I will purchase that and I doubt Mr. D will notice, I really couldn't stand the slagging I'd get if he found out and this way he still thinks I'm wonderful

dont be daft, tell him you cut it he will have it fixed in 10 mins, spliced and taped, tell him you it happened and to go for a few beers for himself
E80 down the swanny , swallow your whatever, and tell him

Stall the digger neiphin :eek: :eek: :eek:

Are you really suggesting that after spending from 9am - 8pm doing the gardening for him on Monday, I should pay for his beers as well?

After all the stress and upset I've had this week , I'm the one who needs a drink.

You could tidy up the cut ends and splice them together. Then wrap each wire with insulation tape, and then the whole exposed area with more tape a qazillion times.
Have had to do that on my lawnmower twice.
I'll probably get slated for even suggesting it. There are safer ways obviously.

Extremely dangerous advice!:mad:

I was off work yesterday and it was a beautiful day so I thought it would be a nice surprise for my husband if I attended to some jobs in our front and back garden.
