Oh bugger...

[Scrumpy]

I have just cut through the lead of my hedge cutter... 
I did it last year too.. I can't believe it.. 
I am going out to buy a Euro Millions ticket.. I think my luck is about to change..

[Alex]

Would this be the one you've just ordered a new cover for ?         sorry Scrumps I shouldn't laugh I know.  I got a parking ticket yesterday 

[Mups]

Blimey Scrumps,  lucky you didn't get electrocuted!  

[Scrumpy]

It get's even better.. New blade protector  cover came today.. With a bit of 'wellie' I managed to slide it on.. Then when I tried to get it off.. I couldn't..
Workmen next door tried.. It was stuck fast.. They had to cut it off.. 
14 pounds down the drain.. 
I bought two Euro today at the Co-op.. 
I feel lucky..

Would this be the one you've just ordered a new cover for ?         sorry Scrumps I shouldn't laugh I know.  I got a parking ticket yesterday 

Parking ticket !!!... Oh dear.. what a shame...

That parking ticket will be more than £14 down the drain.

[Scrumpy]

I don't believe it..
My friend down the road has just phoned me and said she has a spare blade protector guard down her shed..
' As a matter of fact.. I might have two'..
She said they were on hedge cutters that had broken down..She keeps all that sort of stuff.. I'm a ' bin it' person..

[muddy]

You luck has changed did you get those lottery tickets .......

[Scrumpy]

I bought two today...
'This time tomorrow...'

  Eureka !!!!
The blade shield has been found...
My granddaughter Hattie found it today..
It would seem that it bounced off the concrete and penetrated the hedge in an upright position..
It looked like a branch.. 

[Mups]

There you are,   I said put your specs on,  didn't I.   
Clever girl,  Hattie.
