What was the last thing you bought?

[to v or not to v]

some Aigle wellies for the wench, for Xmas.
the last pair lasted 6 years, which takes the sting out of the eye watering price a bit.

5kW Diesel heater for the garage, just needs to take the chill off as after a couple of hours it gets a bit cold. Think it'll be enough for that, can run it on 50/50 waste oil apparently.

I had never even thought about using waste veg oil as a fuel source for heating; our garage is freezing and we have a steady supply of veg oil because of all the cooking I do. Currently I end up storing it up in a 5L caddy and taking it to the tip (where they have a used cooking oil bin, I don't chuck it in the skips).

Not had chocolate for two weeks.
Withdrawal symptoms.
Only viable option at my present location was to give the pot water tanker driver some cash and a picture of these.
Snickers (Marathons.)

I just hope he makes it back safely.

Printer ink. Sodding thing stopped halfway through a 12 page document meaning I had to tear arse down to Currys
for a good reaming to grab a replacement. Amazon was cheaper but couldn't wait a day for them to arrive.

A Pokemon T shirt for #1 autistic nephew. He's 9 but big with it so 12-13 years old sized.
That's the last of the Christmas spending except maybe on myself. I am umm-ing and aah-ing over one of these

Just got myself a new compressor ... Hyundai Silent 50L Compressor HY27550 ... always wanted a bigger compressor, this has 11CFM so should work the brad nailer I've just bought and should also be able to sandblast without stopping to re-pressurise every minute.

I've got one of the Aldi compressors already, but it's nowhere near as powerful and the new one is also a silent one and oil free ... so will be great to use in my new bedroom based wood workshop

A bat detector kit. I spent yesterday afternoon happily practising my soldering skills on it, and I was quite pleased with the job insofar as the welds were quite neat on the whole, until I put batteries in and it wouldn’t work. Today I’ve figured out that the battery case becomes distorted with three batteries in so one battery is half a millimetre away from contact. (Some brands of AA battery are a tiny big bigger than others.) That sorted and it works, at least it detects some sounds. The few bats round here will all be hibernating. Back in the summer I’d played around with a much simpler Haynes bat detector and it worked, I could hear them at dusk moments before seeing them although I wasn’t sure whether it was detecting bat squeaks or just wing beats. Bit of fun though.

Soldering on the kitchen table is much easier than trying to solder terminals hanging off a bike’s harness so I shouldn’t get overconfident.
