    You could do that I suppose, but by now your household's reputation as the place where appliances go to die will already be well founded and written in stone down at the MIB

    Might be worth using the money raised from selling your other stuff to invest in a wall mount for your new telly, and trade in your dog for a smaller one

    I think Alex is an insurance broker, so knows how to get around these "problems".

    Regarding wall mounting of TVs, I am in the middle of redecorating my partner's flat and she wants the TV up on the wall. Will have to see what Argos can offer, but nothing I have seen so far gets 100% positive reviews.

    Something like this should do the trick Barry. Most of the designs out there are just fine for the job, I've fitted similar for myself and for both of my daughters' tvs. It goes without saying that the important thing is having it strongly fixed to the wall. Unless you need to be able to swing the tv round sideways, I'd avoid those with the 'arm' - just more complicated and quite bulky.

    Don't bother with the supplied 'bubble' levels, they're pants. Best to use your own.

    The trailing wires do my head in a bit, but you can buy plastic trunking from B&Q quite cheaply. Just sticks to the wall with double-sided tape (included).

    If you do need a swinging one and the TV is 42" or smaller I can recommend the one below - got one for my son's room where it needed to tilt and swivel and seems very strong.
