What have you bought today?

[Mottie]

Just bought my first lot of seeds for the allotment in the £1 seed sale. Bargain, this lot would cost at around £25 without postage.

Today, I have purchased yet another stately home. A grand palace of decadence & a glorious statement that proves capitalism triumphs over marxism everyday.

It's called "Fook Hall" & joins my other grand properties "Sod Hall & Bugger Hall".

If you've got it, keep it in your pockets.

Another lot of seeds for the allotment. It's not cheap this allotment malarkey. Still, it's a pretty inexpensive hobby as hobbies go and it gets me out in the fresh air doing some exercise too. Should be a bumper year for crops on the new plot.

Today I bought myself a crying, walking, sleeping, talking.....



Although I might take it back as it does none of those things except probably sleeping but how do you tell?

Not today but over the past week I have bought a new router, (£179), a new router table, (£280), 4 x batteries, (£4), a new dovetail jig, (£114), and a new set of router cutters, (£45). Ouch!

I have a new pair of shoes to work in - and they're really going to need some dubbin' before they're worked in enough to call comfy.
I've been after a safety brogue for a few months now and they look so good i'll be gutted if i can't get them right before spring equinox.
Only £35. You can't get much better for that price, though.

Do you seriously use dubbin?

I bought some networking gear (different kind of router!) and will make a thread in computer hardware to talk about it.

Well, it's called 'Leather Polish' but it has similar qualities to dubbing, so i just call it that....cuz i'm old.

I reckon i'll need another tin at the rate these things are guzzling it down.

Must be bed thyme.

Just bought 600 litres of compost for the allotment beds. £36. Bargain. Gutted though as found out yesterday that B&Q sold off all their old 50 litre bags of compost at 50p a bag!

Bought some more work, too much of an area for me at my age so have got someone coming next week to get it on.

Cherry blossom dubbin is still available online. It's good stuff from the old days
I don't hold with all these newfangled things like plastic shoes and lager.

Did you buy directly from the vet? We have just started paying £14 a time for a 6 month prescription for our dogs worm/flea/tick/lungworm treatment. It cuts it down by half!

Well, I looked into it and.....result! £14 for a vet prescription and £47.45 for six months treatment (including 1st class tracked delivery) making it £61.45. Just less than half price. We've been paying double for the past 8 years though!
