A new Macerator Pump Unit for my 'Saniflo' type toilet system.

Given my age, my stools have the consistency of Dundee Cake and, therefore, I suspect that the current mechanism is properly done for.

I'm sick and tired of trying to break up the faeces using my wooden kitchen spoon.

Costs around £800 but the peace of mind will far outweigh the initial financial outlay.

Two hundred quid spare there too to spend on curries to help it out during its running in period.

I’ve seen averts on the tv for pills which will sort that problem out for you for much less than a grand.

He’s due surgery next week, tablets can’t fix that. Thanks for the info though, I reckon he’ll be on tablets soon enough.

 I'd pay Sherlock homes a grand to find out just why I'd so many odd socks. 8-)
I have odd socks, all of a sudden. I think my partner must be having an affair with a one legged man!

I have odd Burnley socks as they wear out so quickly. Real crap.

I am left with one proper pair and two very different odd ones. I wear the odd pair, as I am keen to get full wear!

 No idea. I’ve just sold my BFC shares so I should be treating myself.
Same here, but I've no idea what to do with it...just sitting in a bank account at the moment, whilst I mull over what to do. Could bung it on the mortgage, I suppose?!

I actually did that last year. The missus and kids had been on at me for ages, I'd resisted. Then got paid for a freelance job I'd not been expecting and sneaked off to buy one for them. Wouldn't be without him now.
