Just had new flooring and new carpets fitted so I bought one of these to trim the doors a tad and also for cutting new skirting boards

An adjustable lawn rake from B&M for £6 ... then had to wait until someone came to the checkout as it's age restricted ... I'll be 59 soon Laughing

A lawnmower, with rear roller (for stripes) and a mulcher attachment so I can just chop it all up and chuck it back onto the ground.

I'm losing the plot, I'm doing gardening, and I'll be creating a lawn at the front of the house ... thought after 19 years I better try and get it looking half decent Cool

Milk, dog food.
Quiche, capsicum, strawberries,
And a box of watermelon/mango sticks to munch whilst waiting in the nailbar for my pedicure. (Three out of four of the mango sticks were so unripe I threw it out, annoyed)

But then the Yodel guy turned up and brought a box of posh smellies ("Rituals") that I forgot about buying myself last week as a birthday present Laughing

Its so beautifully presented that I wanted to do an unboxing video or something Laughing As I opened the box it smelt sooooo good.

After an attempted car theft/vandalism last night (which I caught/stopped before it happened) I've now ordered 2 more wheel clamps for the front Rolling Eyes

Got 4 now Mr. Green Laughing

The only cars round my way with wheel clamps have been touched by the DVLA for road tax evasion.

Not today, but over the last few days ...

1) Strimmer head - line type
2) strimmer head - wire brush type
3)GSX1400 main fuse holder/starter solenoid
4) 4 packs of x16 pens (should last a while).
5) Flat 2M bungy cords x5.
6) 3x 3M soffit boards (for when I do the new guttering).
7) Grip adhesive (guttering).
8) Hammer fixings (guttering).
9) Mouse traps because I heard one for a few nights, now I've got them it's disappeared!
10) Two new spades, going to reshape one so that it's good for digging into Type 1 MOT materials.
11) Adjustable lawn rake (for when I have a lawn).
12) 9"/230mm angle grinder, been meaning to buy one for years.
13) Diamond blade for the grinder, can now cut all the way through thick slabs/bricks.

The last lot is for a recipe to make rust removing gel ... this should make quite a lot and it looked quite good when I watched the video about it.

14) Sodium bicarbonate (2.3kg).
15) Corn starch (1.25kg).
16) Citric acid (1kg).

You gonna mix sodium bicarbonate and citric acid? Surely they'll tend to neutralize each other?
