Is that like the "Mannekin Pis" in Brussel?

5 litres of Dulux white emulsion and 5 litres of Dulux 'Timeless' silk emulsion in preparation for the kitchen/diner spruce up.

I bought a new £20000 Omega Watch just for knocking about in.

I knew that bounceback loan wouldn't be wasted.

Thought I'd economise today. Instead of coffee for a fiver plus a bag, I bought this brand. £1.09. I can't taste the difference from my other stuff.

 

[Mottie]

Four pots of living herbs from Sainsburys. £1 a pot. Basil, Corriander, Flat leaf parsley and Rosemary. Planted them in a pot, put it in the garden near our bench and we'll have fresh herbs all year. Smells nice too.

Won't the barrel tarnish the taste?

New battery for a Dyson. They claim 12 month guarantee. I wonder if amazon will still list it if it fails. I think the original Dyson one lasted > 18 months. Often used as we have a dog.

Nah. It’ll add to it.

Bought a 'pallet buster' this week, a glorified jemi if you like for ripping apart pallets, I've a few projects coming up involving pallet wood so thought I'd get one.

There’s a bloke over my allotment with one of those - he's always stripping pallets and making raised beds out of them.

A glass of wine. Nothing special, just Pinot. Served to me on my sofa in the cinema. Thirteen pounds, fifty fecking pence! I could have bought two bottles for that.

A new element for an electric cooker. £150 fitted to our oven in Spain. Keeps popping the breaker. Place is sold and completion is next month but can’t really let the Sweedes move in and not be able to cook their fermented herring on the first night!

Just ordered a bag of live 'mini mealworms' for my brood of blue tits.
