Whether you're a seasoned home improvement pro or a beginner just starting out, there's one thing you can't afford to overlook: safety. That's why I've put together a list of six essential safety tips to keep you and your home in one piece while you're working on your next project. So grab your tools, put on your safety goggles (because they're not just for show), and let's get it done while keeping things safe and sound.
1. Put on your safety gear - you CAN look like a superhero in goggles and gloves!
2. Read the instructions - knowledge is power and safety!
3. Check your tools - make sure they're in tip-top shape before you start swinging.
4. Use the right tool for the job - why make things harder than they already are?
5. Keep your work area tidy - a clean space means less chance of tripping over cords and tools.
6. Be aware of your surroundings - watch out for any potential hazards, and if in doubt, ask for help. Remember, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Hey Pet Owners!
Just a heads up that a certain large chain pet store at Linwood currently has a sale on some items.
However my husband was about to pay full price when he remembered the advert and showed the shop assistant the discount on his phone.
‘Oh ok’ she said ‘if you show us the brochure you can have it for sale price, otherwise full price!”
A bit underhanded in my opinion!
