If you have time try edit/shuffle details of your quote such as job title eg. Secretary to PA, mileage allowance and other little things before you choose. Takes a lot of time but worth it.

Also if possible pay at once rather than put it on direct debit, comes out way cheaper
aviva is interest free on monthly payment

Why I don't recommend that is because its for professional barbers. Also, the blades are metal and don't have rechargeable batteries.
The one I use has ceramic blades and you can use anywhere especially in front of the bathroom mirror. But if you are a rastaferian, that wahl one will work for you.
tried cutting my hair myself, it's all fun and games till the day youhave to shave it skin aftermaking mistake, and then the barber is ur friend which is about a month when my hair grew back...I'ma shower, not a grower wink

Mamatukwas,

Husband has the Wahl vogue,I don't know how to classify it.

He was forming money saving DIY barber and ended up giving the son a life changing haircut.

As in I looked at my son and I could not talk,I wanted to laugh and wanted to cry..he almost scalped him in the name of haircut,left a shiny mess.I just told the boy that it's a cool hairstyle in Nigeria.

Since that day,it's been the barber £25 for both of them but at least I know the aftermath is a nice haircut not ayamatanga.

DIY is not for him.

Please know where your own husband falls in to avoid stories that touch.



True talk, this is me after buying £100 cordless clipper, only to remember i even had an old wahl from nigeria

Adjust the clipper blades out, so the blades are not aggressive.

By so doing, you cannot chop to the scalp........... And adjust blade accordingly..........

There's a trick to it. You have to make use of the combs. If you want to do gorimapa, you don't need to attach any.

Realistically if you are into styling it's not for you.

Check YouTube

The lockpick lawyer

Tradesmen might charge upwards of 70 pounds.

Ask property manager/previous owner etc

Very easy..... Drill lock through, once lock is off, lift garage door and replace lock....

Looks like you already have access to the garage... Just buy like4like and replace.........

NB : Be careful what's inside..... Might require yellow tape isolation........... grin

You would have to get an appropriate drill, and drill it out.....

Head to your nearest hire shop...........

my worry was that the door opens without the lock now, and i think i might have to replace the whole assembly, not just the lock

Hi good evening everyone, please I need help and clarification on something. My spouse(female) who is Nigerian and is also an EU citizen staying in Greece, she recently got a job in the UK. And she's coming to Nigeria in August for our marriage. Now my question is what type of marriage should we apply for at the ikoyi registry so it would be easier when we start the process for me to come to join her in the UK. Thanks in advance.
