Another E-Prance mini 0805 with GPS, this one for my wife's car.
I think the way things are going in car DVR is the way forward, crash for cash and idiots on the road is a worthy and worthwhile investment. Also some insurers like Swinton offer a discount on the policy cost Whig would recoup the cost of the device an a couple of years or less.

Two 500g packs of British beef mince for 87p each at Lidl's. I was in just after they'd opened but the vultures had already stripped one chiller cabinet.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

That's pretty cheap for beef mince Heero so l am not surprised that it goes quickly.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

One of their half price weekend offers, decent lean stuff too.

Next weekend it's racks of BBQ ribs at £1.24 (500g) and they'll go like lightning as well. They put a limit of 6 per customer but I've seen husbands and wives together but with separate trollies to get twice.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes its alright having a limit of so many per customer but many families especially will send their children in as well so l am not sure that it works that well in reality.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Hope that's going in the 'what have you fixed...' thread with accompanying video. ;)

Oooh what pen did you get?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

The Waterman I am using at the moment is over 30 years old and I am on my 4th nib so thought I would treat myself to a new pen. We went to the Pen Shop this morning and I tried a few out and fell in love with one but it was over £100 so came home and found the same pen a Waterman Expert, for nearly £40 less. Sill not cheap but it's a lovely pen. :)

I didn't buy the shoes I liked last week so the pen will almost be paid for by what I saved on the shoes. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I love lamb mince in chilli con carne. Never seen it in our Lidl though. Is it frozen or fresh? Not bothered just want to know where to look.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Fresh. Offer is today and tomorrow only. I'll probably be using it in shepherds pies

The Note will be on a £33 pm contact and the Primes will be on a 12 month contract £13 each.

The Primes are brand new on the market and I had the first 2 out of the cage they where delivered in.

2 225 LED arrays from Amazon for my chilli seedlings indoors. A lot cheaper than ebay or anywhere else. Then I noticed the predicted delivery date.... APRIL!!! :(

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A long reach professional quality 13mm socket hex flat grip with 1/2" drive. I need it as the rear subframe mounts to the bodyshell on the Metro have reinforcing ribs that prevent a standard socket going on straight and after 21 years of muck and bullets they'll be VERY tight so the 24" breaker bar will be in use.:)

Got to weld the mounting points for an MOT so the frame has to be dropped off to get at them cleanly.

Two rear brake flexible hoses £10 odd including VAT and delivery, might as well replace them while they're accessable.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Hex sockets are the greatest invention ever. Followed closely by plusgas (I suggest the catering sized drum for that job)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A book.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Driving on the flats means even with a very corroded nut/bolt there's usually enough purchase to get things moving. I have a set at 1mm increments from 10mm to 22mm so one is bound to fit even if the head has wasted down but they're standard length. Absolutely invaluable especially with an older car.

I'll be leaving penetrating oil et-al to try and do its stuff for a few days.

I'm eyeing up some new subframe mountings with the integral bushing on ebay, just needing to get confirmation from members on another automotive site that they are compatible as there seems to have been a detail design change around 1990.

Flowers to cheer up my neighbour (the nice one ;)) as she is going through a bit of a rough time with one of her children, she is feeling a bit low as her hubby works away from home so she feels very much like the weight of world is on her shoulders.

Yesterday I got a copy of the first release of Star Trek 6 (1991) -- Its the original 1992 copy and looks better then the 1997 copy I had!! (I wonder if the 1997 one was digital transfer)



I also got THE DRIFTER (1988) -- Havent seen that in awhile!!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Very nice. Just in case you didn't know, baby oil is an excellent finisher/cleaner for stainless steel.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thanks for that tip Osem as I was going to buy (Wellco Professional Stainless Steel Cleaner) but won't be doing that now after your tip. Failing that I suppose I could always buy fridge magnets to hide the marks and hope no one notices them ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes, it works very well especially if you do it regularly. You don't need much - I usually use a teaspoon full or so on a piece of kitchen roll. If you buy fridge magnets make sure you put tape over the magnet to stop the metal scratching the stainless steel which is easily marked.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Some stainless steels are non-magnetic. ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes they are. Our SS fridge is magnetic but the oven isn't. Maybe that's why they don't make oven magnets? ;)

Rimless varifocal specs from ASDA. They balls-up the order and 2 rimmed pairs turned up a fortnight ago. Not bad for £99, though the bridge is sitting in my eyeline, though I should get used to that.

Bio oil for my scar.

Which is (disappointingly) looking really good. I was looking forward to being in the zip club ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes dilli Bio Oil is a great product, I used it when I was pregnant with my youngest to help reduce stretchmarks/prevent and I found it to be a fantastic product a little expensive but it does last along time as you don't need that much. I still use it now on my face and hands as I find it's also a really good moisturizer.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A Nord Lead 4 synth. Very nice and definitely a keeper unlike the last 2.
