20 cans of Flageolet beans from Waitrose. I only go there about once a year, and these beans are a must-have for the missus.

Re: What have you just bought?

I've bought a house ( for my son). No other way anyone from his generation will afford one.

However he now expects me to paint it, and do all the maintenance... Tried to explain that i'm not the landlord. Bless him !

Re: What have you just bought?

I was about to buy a Kärcher K 4 Power Control Flex Pressure Washer due to a price drop on Amazon but seeing I can't use it with a hosepipe ban I'll wait until Black Friday!

I was going go ask what you were trimming in order to drop it into the toilet, but then recalled all the stuff I've accidentally dropped down the toilet . . .


. . . a microwave, a 3 man tent, 2 garden forks, a barbeque (still lit), double bed . .
