Some Sealskinz overshoes for on the bike and some German raceblade detachable mudguards... I’m determined to continue the mileage on the bike but it was getting cold on a couple of rides last week.

What ya got?

 

[John Barrett]

What ya got?

Fleetwood Heritage 560-4, the one with the single beds at the rear and en suite. In immaculate nick, £4500 delivered! We want to buy a property in Spain next year, so this is a good cheap way of having a look round while holding on to the pennies! We owned a 530-3 some years ago, and were so impressed with the quality that when we saw this we snapped it up. I have a big powerful E350 to tow it with!

A new kettle.. ... well, sort of bought. My kettle broke yesterday after 10months.

Took it back to Dunelm today and they would only exchange. The one I wanted was £10 less but they wouldn't give a credit note. . I had to wander around buying stuff I didn't need to make up the rest.

Enjoyed cuppa when I got home... Water boiled in a pan doesn't taste the same.

I've had installed an Eberspatcher blown air deisel heater , two roof mounted solar panels , two new leisure batteries and a number of usb and 12v sockets .
I'm so chuffed, this is a major refurbishment, but now I can visit friends over winter and stay in my van in comfort

Was that heater the genuine article or a Chinki Cheapie?!

Genuine, I hope, although I was tempted by the Chinese heaters I decided to pick peace of mind over the price .
I'm on the Chinese deisel heaters website and I didn't feel my nerves would stand it.
I went to one supplier and asked his opinion, he said he wouldn't fit one in his customers vans.

 

[patricia the newbie]

I should add that the Chinese heaters can be very good , maybe the site I was on gave a more mixed opinion

Never ask a man who is selling a product with a decent mark up what he thinks of a cheaper one !

Just discovered the budget range of stuff at Screwfix
Got a tin of matt black spray for £4.98
Tool station list a cheaper one but of course they have no stock

£9 for drone pilot licence renewal, and a pot of welding gas for the mig.. Of course it ran out half way through modifying the scooter rack !!!

 

[Minxy]

A pressie for hubby ... a new Tefal Ingenio induction 24cm non-stick frying pan for £2 for the car boot on Wednesday morning, it was a second with a bit of the non-stick coming off on the rim hence the price, but that's not an issue as I'll put the handle on that bit.

Looks like it might be shut at some point after the PM's briefing today ... I've been frantically searching for some new-to-me jigsaw puzzles but I only saw a couple of puzzles last time and they wanted silly money for them.

As I'm getting fed up of the ones I have been doing again and again, I even raided the attic for some!
I'm currently dong a 'Russian doll' one, lots of images of the dolls, various shapes/sizes/colours/angels, a bit like the 'most difficult' type of puzzles and it is ruddy difficult but I'm so desperate I'm gonna finish the ruddy thing if it kills me!

Blast just given about a dozen to some friends. They were going to pass them on,could ask for them back when they have finished them if you like. only 1000 piece so maybe not enough of a challenge for you though.

Thank you so much for that very kind offer but don't worry, I'll just have to have another rummage around in the attic and 'free' a few more that were boxed up years ago when were were hoping to move then! I might even break out my 'Horrible Histories' ones!
