A wallpaper steamer / stripper from the local (well, 25 miles away) Freecycle group. I've got one room where the wallpaper is in quite poor condition so hopefully this'll help speed the job up. What I should do is get rid of it once I've stripped this room, but I probably won't. Other rooms are papered, but it's in pretty good nick so there's no point removing it just for the sake of it, but if I could do all of them then I really could move it on.

Not today, but over this last few days.
Lenovo lap tops, cash converters.
Lego Kits, Damaged stock from an outlet store. These were in the bin, I asked if they could be purchased, they said yes, so I did.
A small paraffin stove and a spring balance, local scrap yard.
Gifted to me, to see if it can be saved. So MIS can make use of it.

Down in Cornwell is a care home I do a lot of work in.
There is a few ex service residents.
4 weeks ago I had an early hours call out to them. Got there, the bells were still ringing. I soon had it back to normal.
I was speaking to an Ex Wren, who found out I liked the biscuits she liked.
We bath knew them as "DQ Biscuits" Or Prison Biscuits.
Today, she gave me this.

The 24" ½" drive breaker bar turned up today. Good weight to it. Time alone will tell how robust it is.
To complement it, I've ordered these:
I already have a ⅜" Hallmark socket set, so thought I'd go with same for the ½". They're six point sockets. There's a 20% off coupon on the go at the moment too, on Ebay. They come in a nice foam insert which can go in a tool drawer.

When my wife's had a flat tyre, she's grateful it's there.

I bought an internal bearing puller and slide hammer. It has expanding collet thingies that fit inside a bearing and a slide hammer to pull bearings out of blind holes. Haven't got a job for it at present, but I coudl have used it in the past. China's finest.

What were the ones in the green foil packet? I like them.

They were all in green foil packets (probably still are!), just with different print on them. Biscuits Fruit AB, Biscuits Brown, etc..
