Today i decided to buy a VW camper /day van that is road ready rather than my normal bright idea of buying a rust bucket that i will have to spend time doing and not get the use of.

A local to a route home I take is a charity shop who will bundle odd stuff they can't sell, for many reasons. They get bundled up into a shoe box and wrapped in brown paper.
They ask for bids over a set price. You get a raffle ticket.
If you loose you loose no money.
If you win you pay you money and take the box.
Then you find what is in it.
I bided on 4 box's and won 2.
Box 1.
5 chisels
Long Blade ratchet screwdriver.
I small gripping screwdriver.
Another small claw hammer.
Tube of silicon strong adhesives.
2 containers of bicarbonate of soda.
Spring Balance.
Box 2.
Claw hammer.
Temperature gauge, for something unknown.
3 screwdrivers. 2 x Pozi and 1 flat.
Adjustable spanner.
9 x M10 x 80mm bolts, nuts and washers.
Oh look, one of those hose nozzles. I had a post about one of them.
The clean eyed members will see that blown capacitor, from the pressure washer. It will make the rubbish bin, soon

Over Christmas the "Santa Post Box" what was used to collect letters for Father Christmas was set on fire.
Yes. there are some real low life's.
I asked a friend if he still had access to one I could copy to make a new one.
Well I now have one to keep.
It is a "Fake" but of the correct size. I can now make a new one.

Had to do a load of 50mm cores with the battery drill as it wasn’t practical running a lead, managed it but petrol power would have been nice

pallet truck, 60 quid and only a few miles away, facebook pic. Seems to be in very good nick but apart from a quick check I haven't had time to look it over. Bloody things are like trying to get a rabid octopus into the back of the car. I;ve been looking for a shorter one for moving machines around the workshop, but this one is going downstairs into the barn to move IBC cages full of timber and pallets of pellets about.
some joiners gloves, I've got some timber framing to do in the downstairs bar, these will keep my hands warm and keep the splinters at bay but still let me hold a pencil and pick my nose.
Cheers
Andy
