Where the heck did you get that for 99p and have they got any left
It was an ebay "collection only" job. No other bids. Just my lucky day.

Yesterday I bought (got paid again) an angle head flashlight, pseudo-army that uses AA batteries and a canteen cup stand. Both are Chinese. the canteen cup stand is to set a metal canteen cup in and heat with some kind of fuel tablet like Esbit fuel. Inverted, it slips over the bottom of the cup. I got the flashlight because I was tired of the dinky ones I've used for the last 30 years, perfectly satisfactory though they may have been. Total cost $18.00.
I also bought yet another Victorinox Swiss Army knife, the "Swiss Army Gardener." Total $19.99. One blade.
I've been spending a lot of money lately.

Got a package in the mail yesterday! Ordered a couple of things from MEC for attempting to winter camping.
UCO candle lantern kit for a little extra heat in the tent, and some warm light.
Foam pad for a little extra R value under my Thermarest all season Neoair.
2 little zipper thermometers. Figured it would be cool to have one outside and one inside to see what kind of temp difference there is in the tent.
A cheap HDPE Nalgene bottle for sleeping bag peeing Never done this before, but the thought of getting out to pee in -10C makes me want to try.
And last but not least...
A MEC Phoenix -12 Hybrid sleeping bag. 60% synthetic insulation, and 40% down insulation. It was a good price, and I liked the arguments for hybrid insulation.
The wife said I looked like a carrot
Seems very roomy and warm. Most people say that -12C rating is only a 3 season bag, but here in Newfoundland it doesn't get much colder than that in winter. On really cold days it might MIGHT go down to -15 or -20 in the coldest regions. I figured this bag, and a wool blanket would be more than enough for me.
I plan on doing an overnight this weekend as part of my night a month challenge for this year, and testing out some of this gear.
