What was the last thing you bought?

Notable purchases over the last couple of days are a 50" Panasonic telly (an absolute mindblower of a buy, way too much choice) the bestingest Black & Decker Workmate and a kitchen waste bin, which are much more expensive than I imagined them to be.

I think the last big ticket item I need is a vacuum cleaner of some sort, which is doing my head in nearly as much as the TV.

I'm pretty sure "TEC bike parts" are just re-branding the same cheapo RFY ones on eBay and charging a premium but they will be better than the indian made ones I have on one of the Enfields.

Hogring pliers and a pack of 200 hogrings. Fitting heated seat pads to the car seats whilst the weather is shite and this time I value my fingers more than the 15 quid this cost.

Custom manifold for my project bike. This is the first ever custom bike part I've ever commissioned. I think it's good work.

In answer to the questions and suggestions, no I didn't buy an Ambilight TV, couldn't see the point - the process of choosing a set became so complicated it was getting tedious, so I applied some simple rules - what did I actually want it to do, how big did it actually need to be and what was the budget?

Once I'd figured that out, I went for a trusted brand and the Panasonic 50 fitted the bill - delivered at 11.30, was watching it before 12 and it's great

As for the hoover, if I wanted an expensive thing, Dyson would never have been in the frame, Shark might have figured, but I would probably go for a Sebo - if I wanted something that was a really good vacuum cleaner, I would save myself some money and buy a Vorwerk.

As it is, I'm a single guy with no pets, no kids and no hair falling out all over the place, so what I needed was something that I could whizz round every once in a while and then tuck neatly in the corner of a cupboard - Hoover (with a big 'H') upright, coming tomorrow for 85 quid - job jobbed

Aftermarket LED lights for rear of tv exist.
"Govee" make them. Including some that can be controlled by Alexa.

Twelve boxes of nag champa incense.
