Car boot madness for me today two 40L (I think) dry bags. One looks like the one lidl has on offer the other is really nice and soft one and seems very well put together. £2.00 for the pair. I also picked up half a dozen Samsonite camera cases with straps still on cardboard. They were various different sizes but at 50p a pop I could not say no to them so bought enough to make Batman's utility belt look sad. To top it off I found a guy flogging some army surplus odds and sods. Nothing exiting but I picked up a spare knife and fork set a Hexi stove a millbank bag and a pair of sleeping bag booties all at a pound each. This is loads more than I would normally find. I am lucky to find anything at all on average. A decent sized day sack still alludes me though.
A merino t-shirt for £9.99 (from Decathlon in Stockport). Got one yesterday, washed it and, happy it didn't turn into a action man t-shirt, decided to get another.

£3.60 for the lot
Really quite over excited about the power file (as I use a pneumatic version at work)......although just spent £7 on 3 abrasive belts for it...
...still is a good addition to the shed
still pick head will come in handy....some where....
Of course the cold chisel is nice stock....and the file is brand new Oberg (Bacho) first cut will do me fine for general stuff.

I went to "Fortress Wales" living History day at Margam Park ...and bought some recycled leather!
Lots of leather for £8 ...OK some will need dying before use and some (from an old sofa) has multiple holes from the buttons - but the grade is just what I want and the price is good
Then I went and made a donation to HFH (the days charity) that brought the price up to what I would normally pay!

Was at the Spirit of Speyside festival yesterday and came home with a bottle of 12 yr old Tomintoul, a smaller bottle of 16yr old Tomintoul for a present, and then finally could not resist the last bottle of a one off cask of 15yr old Glenburgie.... Happy days!
Today, just ordered a camping diffuser for my small Fenix torch.

I've bought a few things recently, most of which I'm still waiting for (Saudi postal service is awful)
A Utilikilt Survival, I've been hankering after one of these for a while, It'll be getting worn at the Moot.
A sheath from Luckylee for my Spyderco Bushcrafter (Also for the moot)
An Exotac matchsafe and ferro rod.
I'll probably pick up a few other bits and pieces.

As for expensive thing last month bought all new poly suspension bushes for car had 4 wheel alignment done and 4 new tyres plus bought an air rifle. So lets hope I win the lottery soon to pay the bank back.
