What have you bought today?

Good morning
Just bought some screws from Screwfix

Family food shop, half a tank of diesel, 2 skate boards.

A peek, a rub with some liquid, a look with an ultra violet torch, a small amount from a £6 bottle of hibiscrub to rub on it twice a day for the next ten days. £58.

Just buy a bottle of hibiscrub and wash her feed periodically with it.

Last time I did a family food shop, it was 130.
This time just under 200.

Coffee machine. Been wanting one for ages, but couldn't justify cost. (cheaper in store than online)

In Costco yesterday and impulse purchased this:

I might have to. The amount I got included in my £58 vet bill looks like it's not going to last for another 9 days!

I've always wanted a bean to cup coffee machine but the Mrs has always said no because it will take up too much worktop space and she'll get the job of cleaning it out. Does it come with its own postcode?

I'll be sticking with my pod machine for the foreseeable future.

I don't think it would take up more space than your current machine.

According to the calculator and my measurements this is the size I have ordered. Actually just had a text confirming delivery date of 21/3.

I actually added 1/2" on to the arm and wrist measurements and a 1/4" onto the neck.

Well, the shirt arrived today from Sri Lanka and it fits me perfectly.

Went over Bluewater tonight and bought a nice pair of Longwing Brogues from Dune. Even better, I got a 15% discount when Mrs Mottie flashed her NHS Blue Light card.

Renewed two insurance policies after checking for better deals - there weren't any. My scooter insurance with the AA. Was £112 last year, £88 this year. House insurance with M&S. Was £263 last year, £219 this year. What's going on, I thought prices were supposed to be going up?

You're just not happy if you have nothing to complain about are you?

Might have to print one of these Blue Light Cards.

My wife spent £430, (her own hard earned money), on another robotic lawn mower. We have installed, (Dave), the old on the front lawns and (Davinia), will be installed on the back ones next Tuesday. Saves having to walk around with the petrol one each weekend, and means we can do other things, while they both get on with helping to keep the lawns nice.
As for the names. The first one became Dave after he got stuck in a few places when we first installed him. Getting exasperated my wife remarked, "For Gods sake! You had one job Dave! His getting stuck was obviously our, (read 'my'), fault for setting the boundary wire wrong.
So this morning she decided to call the second one Davinia. She does have her funny moments does my wife.

Conny, what model did you get, are they both the same?
