    Any recommendations for where to buy a car battery ? Halfords seems the obvious but definitely not cheap.

    Phoned them.....beginning at €130. I know they'd do a quality product but I was thinking cheap and cheerful, similar to Dunnes/where ever Xmas wreath

    Rita's Wreath Designs out Monivea side.
    Haven't used them, but heard about them.
    I see prices of €45 delivered there for nice looking things.

    Nice to promote a little home business too.

    CT electric or flaherty markets will have these doors. About €15 each, two different types of catch/lock so check you have the right one

    I'd try CT Electric and Flahertys (see last post). Caulfields maybe. Beyond that I'd go online and try Adverts, Radionics and CPC

    If you are passing you could try Tripart. Other than that I would say online.

    If still looking local, try car parts suppliers. A few in Liosban. Also a sound systems repair place there.

    Is there anywhere I could get weights for a cantilever/overhanging umbrella parasol?

    To weight something like this down basically :

    I was looking for similar a while back and couldn't find any I asked in Woodies and they told me I could use paving slabs, as that is what they do.

    Did you try them? did they work?
    Would be great if they did as I'd say it's cheaper.
    Prices of weights look crazy, I got the umbrella as a gift and I really can't afford 60 or 70 just to make it upright.

    The black wedges, are they not weighted already? Can they be filled with water to add weight?

    Yeah they work pretty well and keep it upright though when it's going to be windy I put the umbrella down just to be on the sage side

    The black wedges in the photo by OP are usually an extra that you have to buy. I've never owned them but I think you're right that you can fill them with water

    I've always found weights not to be heavy enough. Maybe I live in a particularly windy place but any domestic parasol I've ever had either gets ruined by the wind, or is too uncomfortable/unnerving to sit under due to the wind.

    To your question, if it is a square base, as mentioned they should fit 4 standard paving slabs.

    I'd also put a load of concrete blocks on top for good measure :D

    If you get hold of some used free storage heater blocks. Much heavier than slabs. Ask electrical contractors.

    Where can I find a seamstress/alter'er who can remove and re locate a trouser stud?

    *apparently not all have the necessary equipment.

    Always found the zip yard to be a good all rounder. Worth a shot.

    Looking to get the beat cut of steak I can. Anyone recommend the cut and where to buy.

    There has been an argument in bargain alerts raging for years on what is the best cut of steak. For my money, I think the best and most flavoursome cut is the ribeye. A fillet is going to be guaranteed tender but perhaps not quite as flavoursome as it tends to be lean. And a strip streak is another good option.

    grillpan-5bb8937f95d22.jpg

    I look for thorough and heavy marbling for whatever I pick, salt + pepper, & cook on a grill pan. I typically do 85-90% of the cooking on just one side (no flipping or messing) then sear the sides and flip it for just 90 seconds or so to sear the other side then straight onto a hot plate. I normally just get the Dunnes select and have heard good things about both Aldi/Lidl steaks. Obviously going to a butcher might up the game a bit. I see Divilly in Westside has a spiffy dry ageing fridge if that's your thing. My only problem with butchers is you don't get as much say with the marbling or the cost but at least you can get a fat, thick steak if that's what you're after.
