I have unfortunately lost my lovely light that I bought off a friend on the forum, saw this link in the 'I've found a bargain' thread and bought it with 7mins to spare....
What did you buy today?

Aw, that’s a pain. You realise it’ll probably turn up now you’ve bought another torch?
My fingers are crossed, typical....I'll find it buddyAw, that’s a pain. You realise it’ll probably turn up now you’ve bought another torch?
A house with a garden. Plenty of trees too. Looks Like part of a little wood too with all the neighbour's gardens too. Got to wait until we move in and then probably spring to find out what's growing there.
Any good places to buy good but cheap wildlife cams? I reckon it'll have visitors, would be good to find out what before I work much on it.
PS not your usual bushcraft buy, eh?

Got an offer declined email today over the house. Blood pressure went right up. My tracker measures it so I've got proof. I then read it and realised it was our first offer. There was a second email accepting our final offer.
It seems the estate agents believe in a full, auditable communication trail. It still doesn't do my blood pressure any good. I'm late 40s, I'm into the heart attack age range. They shouldn't do that!!
Seriously, still coming down from cloud 99! I've got a plan on what we're doing to the house and garden. Is it too early? I've still got to provide evidence of funds and the survey, full mortgage agreement, cashing in savings, searches, contracts, fixtures and fittings list, etc. No! I'm not being too premature looking at tools, garden work schedules, house plans, etc. It's just being prepared. I used to be a scout and something other than knowledge of knots has stuck (to be fair I knew the knots and more before I was even a cub).
Just wondering, mattocks, pick or wrecking bar? Which is more useful for a garden? Need a wildlife cam or two, any good but cheap ones around other than on evil bay?

I'd advise caution. Unless you're completely sure this house is yours , and from what you've said ref proving funds etc/ agreement - you sound like you yourself are little unsure??
I'd moderate my excitement - Nothing worse or damaging to ones mental health than creating a prefect mental image only to get it scuppered by an unseen element in reality.
No it's formality time with documentation and solicitors. Unless the survey or searches turn up something very unexpected it's a done deal. The vendor has agreed to take it off the market, not that it actually went live so it's very unlikely anyone new will find out about it to even get the chance to cut in on the deal. Vendor was very pleased apparently, replied to offer with a thumbs up smillie apparently.
If course we're hyper about it but we're both very sensible and know it's only fantasy planning until contracts are signed and exchanged. Currently about 10 weeks to get there round here right now. It's in n the next county which is an issue. The county isn't as well funded as ours so possibly searches will take longer. As well there's the COVID risk category to worry about. We're very high risk, they're low or high. As in category 1 or 2 but we're 3. We shouldn't be allowed to visit it until things change with those restrictions. We're hoping the house moving exception applies now so we can get to the house or the local estate agent branch that's dealing with it.

Mark 2 leather gloves. Very happy with them, although I may need to size up as they are a little tight over the knuckles, and would be good to be able to wear a liner glove under them, perhaps. Will see how they do over winter.

Got a free vintage Jones model D-69 sewing machine today from someone in the village. Dunno if it works yet, but it weighs a ton, so hopefully it has all metal internals. I’ll be trying it out in the next few days...
4 pairs of British army arctic wool socks for £6....my sock of choice

Regatta half zip fleeces on Amazon for a tenner with delivery tomorrow for work use. Managed to get my usual work fleece covered in glass fibres so it glitters in the light and itches badly. Can't get the fibres off so bought the fleeces in size l and XL. I'm between them so I'll probably use them both with different layers on underneath
I didn't think you could get even cheap brands from Amazon but I've got prime so free Sunday delivery. I'll not be itching at work Monday.
If anyone knows how to get glass fibres out of a fleece top when it's right through the fabric, let me know.
Anyone know what fabric type is better to resist fibres? I'm thinking a simple cotton sweatshirt with a tighter weave outer face and the slightly fleecey inner face.

Tyvek nonwoven overalls and jackets are pretty good in resisting the fibers but not so comfortable.
