It hasn't got as many mowers as it used to have, but once upon a time there were six mowers in there, all in working order, including 2 ride on mowers. I always told him he should open a mower museum.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-9771873130476316962014-04-03T12:32:38.260+11:002014-04-03T12:32:38.260+11:00Barbara, you did make me laugh!

I was very dinosaur-like until I got my dh's last phone - as a hand-me-down! I think one of those phones in the pic is my old phone. I confess to have got to rather like my pre-loved smart phone now though - it has a timer function that is just brilliant!<br /><br />Oh, I hear you on the extension cords - is there a planet that they migrate to??

You know, I have never once sent a text (and my life doesn't feel the poorer for it). ;-) I actually think my phone may be older than any of the ones pictured (hey, on the very odd occasion when I need to make a call, it works). However, if we want to talk computers -- oh, lord, we have ancient computers and do-dads that attach to computers and cables galore.<br /><br />What I want to know, though, is when I go looking for an extension cord, why there's never one to be found? ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-77490770823273307122014-04-02T14:37:58.323+11:002014-04-02T14:37:58.323+11:00Rachel, I'm so impressed with your in-house &q...Rachel, I'm so impressed with your in-house "recycling" of old phones!

We usually pass our old phones on to various kids in the family. When they're not connected, you can still use the games, so that suits the younger ones, and another kid who doesn't normally have a phone has used our older ones with a $20 card in it for when he's away. Not worth buying a whole new phone for that, but it also doesn't have to be up to the minute. Not sure I have enough uses for *all* those your man has, though!Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-92076140231127558242014-04-02T10:28:09.356+11:002014-04-02T10:28:09.356+11:00Oh yes, we have gadget overload in our house too, ...Oh yes, we have gadget overload in our house too, Sharon, from a certain male who shall remain nameless.

I share my house with 3 gadget freaks and we have cupboards filled with plugs/cords/phones/ithings - but whenever I want to find a charger if I'm going away, there's never a spare! How can that be? Sadly, I think TPTB make a lot of money out of ensuring customers only buy their gadget-specific products so I doubt they'll be endorsing a universal gadget any time soon! Great idea though!Louisa Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516084905261935607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-25155811992265419612014-04-02T07:57:48.972+11:002014-04-02T07:57:48.972+11:00Helen, I think we should send this incredibly sens...Helen, I think we should send this incredibly sensible thought about a universal charger out into the ether and maybe, just maybe, TPB will listen!
