New speakers for my PC. I knocked over a drink that spilt on my current speakers, they started making a funny sound so assuming they were FUBAR ordered some new speakers. The originals have dried out and are fine, but to be honest they were quite old so probably a good idea replace them.

I have got back into Technic, so treated myself to a small kit. I keep meaning to save up for something a bit meatier but keep caving after a couple of beers.

I've been purchasing tools from PB all my working life and make no mistake, they really are the very best that money can buy.
Their price structure has changed a good bit though over the years as i remember purchasing my first set of long series ball ended allen keys and them costing me around £60 !
But you are shockingly young, so it won't have been that long ago wink
I knew that i always liked you mate. smile (pints are on me next time)

I am however, completely in self denial that i'm up for my TWENTY year long service award this August ! yikes

I purchased one of these shortly before Xmas, used it a few times and now have it stood up as a decorative piece collecting dust.

Water rowers are great, I'd love one. Reminds me of being a skinny little J14, lying in the bow of one of the senior 4+, it's exactly the same sound as the boat ripping through the river.

They keep their value pretty well, so if you're finding it's useless it's worth chucking up on eBay.

That's one of the major reasons I purchased it, they retain a lot of value. I also got 25% off with John Lewis discount. So, shouldn't lose much/if anything.

It's a great piece of engineering and does indeed sound fantastic when used by anyone other than me.

Blimey, you may even make some cash!

I will have one in a few years - but there's a long list of stuff I've got to do/pay for before the permission slip will be signed.

It'll be worth the wait.

Must admit it's easily one of my favourites, I got two bottles this time so as not to run out. The lemon drop though is spectacular, really sharp and citrussy with a decent kick I'm looking forward to using it in a white chilli.

Just bought me and swmbo a Fitbit Charge hr each. Wife wants to lose weight (hope her arse doesn't decrease in size) so not frivolous for her, but as I was buying hers I added one to the basket for me. Can't be having gadget envy!
