£342 worth of timber, fence posts and postcrete ready for the fencing job I'm going to be tackling next week along with my
hired help, a very good old friend from my London days. His fee TBC.

£185 on 7 days - 8 yard skip hire as the job will generate a good bit of waste, including about 70 feet of old rotten
fence panels, posts and whatnot. Plus a fair bit of soil, and removed plants ready for the builders imminent arrival
to start on the new outbuilding. Got a busy week ahead of me. Having a skip saves so much time and work and that's
a decent price for an 8 yarder.

£120 on an Aiko 3bar and roller roof bar set for the Connect. I would in all honesty
preferred having the Sprinter for this job. But since I don't and still need another half dozen 6ft fence panels a rack will have to scooby do.

I got some of that Ben and Jerry's Sofa Something or other stuff, I dunno, its got candied pecans and blondies in it, but I'm not particularly a fan of this salted caramel thing. In fact, I opened and closed the freezer door at Tesco's at least three timess trying to make up my mind whether to have it or not (the blondie kept drawing me back, but the salted caramel kept putting me off...)

Bought it anyway. Got home. Ate the whole lot immediately. Left container for the cats to lick clean overnight.

This morning, I've got up and looked in the freezer for some meat to make a pasta sauce with, and I've noticed ... I already have a tub of ice cream in there, which I musta bought and forgot about Shocked ... salted caramel flavour. WTF.

I swear there are pixies living in my household. Pixies who come in the house at night , do weird shit, go shopping when I am asleep, and leave before I wake up.

If someone was making a pole dancing shed for me, it would need concrete posts. And I definitely envisage Mrs Grrrr as being CONSIDERABLY more svelte than myself* (also, younger Laughing ) so I can't see how concrete posts would be a thing.

Indeed, my pole dancing shed would need frickin RSJs.







*but then, most people are (!)

A Karcher T350 patio-cleaning brush for my K2. That slimy decking was going to get me sooner or later. The jet wash has done a brilliant job with little effort from me. The decking is now a completely different colour.

Halfords lost a sale though. On-line it was £20-something quid off but in the shop it was marked as full price. Damn says I, that was an on-line only price, but back in the car I check again and nope, it should be discounted in the shop. I was about to go back in to argue the point when I remember Wickes is just next door and sure enough, they had it in store at the discounted price.

I can now step outside without doing the first part of a cartoon skedaddle.

No, wooden 4 inch posts. Essentially I'll be making a very basic fence out of 4x2 and 4 inch posts then screwing
fence panels to the face of it. There are 15ft high leylandii trees behind it so I cant slide panels down into concrete
posts without butchering the trees to do so. I did the sides of my garden with concrete posts and gravel boards a
while back but this way makes the most sense with the trees I can't really do anything with as they aren't mine to cut.
Her 'ethnic dance studio' will have a steel girder at the apex to bolt her pole to. She's quite amazonian and very energetic. Laughing

Although rated "I agree with this post", I'm not sure we'll be taking it.

We've kept the old tent and gazebo to use for the dirty business of BCF BBQs.

I dunno, just seems sensible somehow given the random passing-through traffic that occurs mainly early in the morning in search of caffeine & painkillers:D

Had another little spend up today.

A refurbished Dyson V6 Rechargeable Vacuum cleaner. From the Dyson outlet store on ebay. £149
For those quick unexpected pet debris clean ups. Bits of chewed dog toy normally, but compost is another
regular one I keep having to drag the hoover out for.

Some Regatta W/P boots for dog walking. My Hi tec walking shoes have almost fallen apart and having never been
waterproof give my feet a good soaking every time i walk in long wet grass.

A new plastic shower curtain and a new wastepaper bin for the upstairs bathroom.

Online: booked a day at the local airsoft pew-pew site, because I haven't done anything particularly stupid and childish recently, and paying to have balls discharged into my face surely counts.

Offline: bought a pew-pew pistol at the local Ned Armoury to get my eye in / put my eye out, am now having epic flashbacks to Nam. Charlie in the tree line.
