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

[WorkshopChris]

Tonight I received a serious reality check, am staying in a hotel in Whitechapel tonight ready for a hospital visit just down the road in the morning. Booked hotel on line this morning, when I arrived they wanted payment, i don't remember a single card pin. Rummage through my wallet and found what may of been a pin reminder. 6 card and pin combinations later i found a combination that worked.
Haven't used a card or been out alone since January.
Now feeling very nervous for tomorrow, luckily I have cash for cab and train home, provided they do not keep me in.

Royal London to see a specialist to find out what they are going to do with with a big lump of dead bone and infected fragments in my leg. Apparently it's either hear or Oxford. I have no idea what's in store. Didn't know I was coming till yesterday, appointment was not till a few weeks but new infection has got a tighter grip this time.

One of those tools once you use one you keep finding new jobs for it and wonder how you managed before you had it.

as above the multi tool great for meny uses most i use it for cutting where you cantuse a saw eg cutting skirting board where you cant use a saw back and forward

Three (or maybe four?) big sheets of flat blown glass for stained glass making plus about two sheets worth of smaller pieces.

Despite my constant use of large spinning tools I feel like I’m going to loose a finger every time I touch a piece of this.

Well done it sounds high end. Is it for a specific subject or does it cover lots. Father keeps telling me to get on and study another subject to fall back on while I am still at home and before I get in the marriage and mortgage trap. I have been looking into something arout I.T.

Look at the Open University. You can do an "Open" Honors degree, Science or Arts (BSc/BA), pick and mix your courses and even transfer over course credits from other institutions. Worked for me.

Some more stuff I didn't need, but may come in useful...

I hoped they might be Boxford, but they're not. MT3 closers but don't suit the standard drawbar. I'll have to make a new drawbar or an adaptor might be possible.

Standard 3C is 0.645" x 26tpi, these are 0.5" by 26tpi

They weren't cheap but then again not expensive for what they are.

Had a nice little find today out of a skip, some sort of trolley, Interesting the way if folds up, I dont know what it was made for but the wheels are solid steel and heavy duty. I have been looking for some small heavy duty wheels for awhile now to make a tractor splitting rail I reckon these will do the job a treat.



One mans rubbish is another man treasure.

Good score

It seems very difficult nowadays to find quality wheels, new or used.

there will be no more studying, I can assure you of that

Wickes this evening

Damaged bags of Rock Salt, reduced to £2.5

asked some random employee how much was in each bag, he didn’t know but turned out to be the manager. He wanted them out of the way for a bit of reorganisation. offered to me for £1 a bag

So I took all five bags. Came home and checked on the luggage scales, just ripped bags and mostly to full weight

result
