Today I acquired...........

[God mode restorations]

Indeed.

But the prospect of a furious Geordie Hobbit bearing down on my downstairs with an angle grinder is not a happy one for either of us .

And I also forgot to mention. My mrs use to be a dominatrix so enjoys beating the crud out of some poor soul . So when she gets pssd off I send her out to her friends. They are doms to... hence happy wife happy life.

So, instead exchanging wedding vows, you exchanged ‘safe’ words.

Well....yes.....but there are many different aspects of happy wife happy life....

Indeed, almost all individuals will have their own, personal definition of the word 'happy'. It's all down to their upbringing primarily, then later in life, rarely as adults unless they've experienced an event for the first time, which tears their life apart, mostly not their fault either. Something like the death of a close family member like a parent(s) or sibling.

More later, going up a tree.

He’s sold something big enough to leave a noticeable space(?), and is climbing a tree to celebrate.

Mrs Vark has left you, also come into a few quid and you are branching out

No.
I needed to shift junk and I had to trim some branches down.
I was paid for the tree job in Pizza.

Ordered a 1/4" Bahco socket set for a friend for the secret Santa this year and thought mmm I'll have one too!


Seems quite nice for £17.

All gone.

Result!! Well done on 'making the start' to gain more of that most elusive commodity in our lives 'space'....

 

[Ruffian]

Not me but father in law managed to find this.

1977 brand new in box.
Never used- not even out of the grease proof bags black and decker 2 speed drill with all the attachments.
Bit jealous too be honest.

I picked this lot up from Kempton today, the hacksaw is very nice and solid it's made by Leyris "MADE IN ENGLAND". Anyone heard of them????


The "pincers" are Knipex and I'm pretty sure are for crimping 'O' clamps onto pipe.

A real metal Surform to replace the one I'll obviously find again tomorrow now I've bought this!
A 12mm spanner made in USA! Didn't think they knew how to do foreign stuff!
And finally a 19mm Halfords ratchet spanner, I didn't realize it was a ratchet type for a minute as it's much thinner than my others!
I spent as much on a crappy hot dog and tea as I did on this lot!

Not a bad day out and I didn't nearly buy a Moto Morrini 3 1/2 or a Tigcraft / Yamaha Sound of Singles racer or some monster spine snapping twin shock MX bike.....

Thats quite an impressive clearout. I do not have that sort of discipline! I'm about to move stuff from the garage to the parents barn to make some room to use it again.

When in reality you told her you would help her by taking all that mucky scrap to the tip

I went to just buy the spanners but she had put all the other stuff out for scrap so she said take it if you want it, I guess if you don't know things are still useful they are just metal.

Yesterday, I called up the farmers' store and asked them to drop over a bag of dog food.
I also asked them to send over one of the plastic 60L drums they have lying around, as a rodent-proof container for said dogfood.
When I ventured out this morning, they'd been and gone, and (not complaing) they'd been prompt and done me a favour.
However, instead of one of these...

I found one of these...

Excellent! I've been trying to find these locally for ages, but never looked in the right place.
Turns out they were under my nose all the time.
I still need a 60L, though.
