I see the TV shopping retailer Ideal World are currently advertising a Q Garden 12inch Electric Lawnmower for just £39.99.

Even when you add the delivery charge on this looks a very interesting deal.

Specifications include:

• 32cm (12″) cutting width
• Three cutting heights, 20mm, 40mm and 60mm
• 40 litre collection box
• 1000 watt motor
