What was the last thing you bought?

bottomless porta filter for my Lelit Anita machine so that I don't have to make two cups of espresso every single time

I've had to go and spend forty quid on stuff, most of which I probably won't eat.

My sister in law is coming to visit, and she's not only vegetarian, she's also of a middle-eastern slant, having lived for years in Jerusalem.

So although we can easily knock up some Italian vegetarian things between us - obviously that's her main heritage, and she does a mean spaghetti alla puttanesca

... but I got lost somewhere between the aisles and ended up with all manner of spicy vegetarian things. Luckily Waitrose were having a Levantine gourmet section this week, so I really only had to struggle with the concept of delicious-looking seedy pitta bread (which I will try not to eat) and exotic assortments of tropical fruit.

Thank goodness I wasn't buying liquor

Ugh, sign of the times: the devil-bird (of which I am, naturally, usually a fan) on that lid had got Duck Lips.

Then I can just hang it on the kitchen wall as a bit of dishevelled art.


IRL: Milk, yoghurt, binliners, bit more mundane

some Wynns engine flush and petrol treatment.

[grr666]

Gates "Powergrip" Cambelt and water pump kit £70.69
It's a 10 year interval on Transit Connect and mines due soon and it's going in for it's remap on Friday so I'd like it done ASAP.

FAI Sump pan and gasket. £49.71
Replaced the sump a couple of years ago with a really crap aftermarket one which has now sprung a
leak, this one is a better quality item. (OEM price from Ford was £250+ )

Metal rear bumper main section. £38.99
The OEM one has developed rust after nearly 10 years of use, I did consider having it powdercoated but this is
less hassle and I want it done the same time as my favourite items from this little spend up.

Complete flange Towbar kit in Black powdercoat including electrics. £135.00

Bypass adaptor for electrics. £20.00

Once these are on I can start my hunt for a bike trailer.

I have a nice coffin-shaped trailer you can have

Emma Original mattress.

Mattress supplied with flat is a new but old fashioned steel sprung affair, which is wildly bouncy, but at the same time hard, like trying to sleep on a cobbled street, which is constantly moving underneath you.

Was turned on to the Emma as I scrolled through the TV channels and watched a couple of minutes of Ideal World - they've got a 40% off the mattress deal going on.

Checked the reviews, everyone loves them, but as I'm a hot sleeper (ooh err missus) a mattress protector was recommended.

Checked online for discount codes, got 42% off the whole purchase - happy man

Panda Bamboo bed sheets. Started with pillow cases but ended up with a full set.

Cool nights sleep no matter how hot.

Yes - we've bought two full sets of them and it's excellent. It's a bit of a knob to iron / dry the first few times but as far as cool nights sleep goes, it's excellent.

New pallet forks with euro style mounting
And a three phase metal bandsaw from a closed down foundry, it is massive and we don't have three phase but can be worked around apparently.

I actually picked up a carton of that exact same gold-top milk when I was in Waitrose last week.
I put it down again, telling myself that I did not yet deserve such a treat, having had an overly-carby week in general.
Once I'm back on the proper diet trail, I'll treat myself to a bottle
