What have you bought today?

For months, I've had my eye on FB market, looking for a Bisley style, set of shallow document drawer, for storing some of my drill bits, lathe bits, cutters and etc.. I spotted what I was seeking, at the right price range, local, and made an offer 1/3rd below the asking, yesterday. Accepted, and I have just been to collect it.

A dry robe thingy from Mountain Warehouse, reduced to £40 with another 20% off with a voucher, just the job for walking to and from the shower block on campsites

A leg of lamb from Sainsbury, half price, in the oven now

Local town, to do a bit of a restock. Plan was, to have ham, egg, and chips for dinner, but the only ham we could find, was that horrible processed and pressed ham, apart from a large tray of ham offcuts. Looked like the pukka stuff, so we bought that. Smaller offcuts made it into a sandwich for lunch, larger slices, for dinner, which is on now..

Aye those ham offcuts can be hit or miss, sometimes they're great other times you need to steer clear, just the luck of the draw.

More vet time! Not for us though, for my mums 'rat'. Listless, off her food, hasn’t eaten for 3 days but drinking. £84 last night for a checkover and anti-sickness injection. Seemed worse today so I took her back. Another checkover, bloods taken (done already - no real concerns) plus an appetite stimulator pill. £204. 2 hours later eating like a horse and has perked right up. Might be back to normal when the drug wears off though, then it’s urine test, scans etc etc. These vets charge nearly as much as some of the plumbers on here…..

She was okay two weeks ago …..
