My post the other day about the breadmaker got me thinking. Basically, while having the means to easily make your own bread must certainly be nice, a breadmaker is pretty much a luxury that it wouldn’t be too hard to live without. I mean, you could just buy a loaf of Kingsmill. Or if the urge to bake becomes too much, your regular oven is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

Love the lawnmower in this video. I’ve had a go on it, it has a throttle and propels itself, you pretty much just guide it. Great for medium sized gardens. The thing may look pretty gnarly (the cassette blade looks like it’d make a bit of a mess of your extremities), but simply put together and easily maintained. C
heck out this video, in which Helen replaces probably the most common lawnmower part to fail in the mower – the nylon gear. Not a problem if it does fail though, because they’re dirt cheap and easy to repair:

As you may well know we’re big fans of the Sebo X1 here at eSpares. Last week Helen shot a couple more videos for it, and showed that even replacing the carbon brushes and motors are easy peasy to fit.

January is traditionally a month in which people knuckle down and try to stick to their resolutions. Gym membership applications go through the roof, schedules are cleared for family time… if you think about it, it’s actually a positive and uplifting time of year.

Picture the scene, your four year old is maniacally unwrapping the remote control car he’s been banging on about since at least September. Overcome with joy at finally receiving the toy he’s been after so long, he immediately wants to take it for a test run. He grabs the controller, pushes the forward joystick… nothing. In a moment of dawning realisation you glance at the box and see those dreaded words. Batteries. Not. Included. You’ve got none in your man drawer. Now the timings of the turkey and the roasties are the least of your worries…
Don’t find yourself without batteries on Christmas morning. We’ve got a buy four, get four free offer on AA batteries and AAA batteries that means you can focus on the Christmas dinner in (relative) peace.

The digital switchover is well under way. Have you switched over yet? If you’re not sure, Digital UK have a location checker on their website, which tell you if you’ve switched over, or if you haven’t, the year in which it’s scheduled. The switchover has been rolling out to various parts of the country since 2007; we’re currently about 60% through the process – it finishes in 2012.
This means that by the time the London Olympics roll round, wherever you live in the country, there’ll only be a digital TV signal. Make sure you’re all set for the digital switchover…
We also stock thousands of remote controls for hundreds of brands of TV.
