A few things arrived yesterday from eBay; five 2.4m lengths of two-core 1.0mm H07RN-F for a bargain £9 (most of that would've been postage!) and a non-Bosch Bosch 18V 5Ah battery.
The battery was only £25; thought I'd give a one a go as the pixies permanently downed tools in the 5Ah Bosch one I've had for a few years; @nickk mentioned these a week or two ago - hope yours is working well?

Where did you buy that could do with one of them. Do you have a link?
Only joking of course well done and a great reward for many years hard work. Congratulations just need a job now to start paying off the debt
. The world is now your oyster. My son has the eng. bit without the m but still gets some cracking work to do. All the best for the future but remember I have a relative in the oil industry part of his job is looking after and checking new graduate engineers work. He says that the more qualified they are the more they think they know it all and f*** ups they make. Now is the time to "Listen and Learn".

I have absolutely no clue. I genuinely didn't expect to pass so I've been avoiding thinking about it. Open to ideas.

Phew, just for a minute I thought you might be that guy who has 10,000 "Free Britney" tee-shirts printed. He must have placed the order over the phone because he received 10,000 "Free Brittany" ones instead
I guess he must be sitting at home keeping fingers crossed that France gets invaded

A 3mm er40, that was missing from the Indexa sets.
Some imperial inserts ag55 and bspt19. Im assuming bsw and bspt thread forms are exactly the same, or be close enough?!
The bsw19 is a Bohlerit, 11IL size. They didnt laser etch it
I know my 11NL bar generally has a minimum bore about 12mm which is no good for 1/4bsp. I might grind 1mm off the back of the insert, or chop and braze to another bar like I have with the 22nr 4TR's.

A 2.2kW VFD from Banggood. Eight days from ordering to receiving it, and a reasonable £51.36
Another step towards the mill upgrade. It remains to be seen how configurable it is, but I think it will suffice.

Try Schlumberger, pronounced Slumber Jay. World's largest oil industry supply services. Oil well drilling, fracking, rescuing Mexican miners, they do it all.I have absolutely no clue. I genuinely didn't expect to pass so I've been avoiding thinking about it. Open to ideas.

£11.60 Woden Titan TX260 ebay bargain I think. My brother wanted a small vice for his shed, he has been helping me a lot recently, so nice wee gift for him once I clean it up and lubricate it.

A 5/8" x 26 tpi Tap set, which looks to be of good quality, and a "folding" kick starter for the BSA Bantam to replace the original non-folding one.
A lot of aches and pains 
.
Spent all day at the tennants' house near Durham replacing the dodgy metal gates in the back yard with a nice new wooden fence and gate. Obviously caught the sun despite wearing a broad brimmed hat and drinking gallons of various liquids, fell over twice and skinned both legs, and twinged my back lifting the old gates into the van.
.
On the plus side, the tennant helped me all day fetching and carrying and being perfectly proportioned she's very easy on the eye but it didn't help matters when I put the gate on the workmate to trim an inch off of the overall length and she decided to bend forward and put her weight on it while I did the sawing
.
Thankfully she isn't clairvoyant or I'd be heading for another divorce
