What have you bought today?

Perhaps, but i work part-time around a care home and any resemblance to Darth Vader could have dire consequences for the residents.

In that case stay away from air helmets - I was forced to use one on a job due to H&S concerns over solid surface materials I was sanding out on site; I went into the project manager's office one day to find a poster-size image of yours truly wearing said black air helmet, in my usual black sweatshirt and trousers and the words "The Empire Strikes Back - Beware Darth JnK!" in bold lettering beneath...

You've got to have a sense of humour in construction

Just arrived this afternoon to replace my last one which some b'stard nicked:

Only the basic brushed motor grinder, but as a chippy I don't really need much more. Really handy for doing all sorts of rubbishy jobs, like pinging off soffit board nail heads, etc

I just ordered:

• Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy: The UK's No.1 Dog Training Book
  
• "Artificial Turf for Dogs"
• Harringtons Complete Dry Puppy Food
  
• Barrier Fencing Mesh | 1m x 25m |
  
• 10 Fencing Pins

Can you guess what we're getting?

I was over Lakeside today buying a shirt and some socks and I snagged a couple of bargains while I was over there.

I got a £30 tie for a fiver in Moss Bros. Bargain.

And a QI wireless 10,000mAh power bank for a tenner in Robert Dyas. It also has two USB outputs too. Anywhere between £20 and £35 elsewhere.

Going back over there in a minute - taking the shirt back! Double cuff but way too short in the arms - doesn't even come out of my jacket.

Well, if the home office grows a heart, we might have some of those too.

Slightly cheaper here if your ones are the 16mg ones.

I know, I know......

A terrapin!

These two items turned up, today, from different sources (one of them from the Netherlands). I obviously know what they are, but I wonder if you do?

A type of Yankee screwdriver/drill?
