It had to be done as part of my travel light project, I'll just have to start combing my hair now.

Not that I have anything like the money to buy it, but I think I've just founds the ultimate frivolous purchase!

I'm not sure that this is, strictly speaking, frivolous. In any case I shan't be buying it as it doesn't come with a plug.

I ordered a Kindle Fire when they were on sale a few weeks ago for £34.99; I absolutely don't need it as I have a iPad Mini 4 but just fancied having a dabble. It's still sitting at the Post Office for collection.

I got 2 nerf guns for my birthday.

Fun for 10 minutes until all darts are lost.

Let's see what arrives. Mrs Cjelli is going to be cross when she sees that I've ordered these.


I bought a couple of packs of these darts, please wear eye protection as the tips are a lot harder than the ones supplied with the gun.

Wouldn't leave it too long, don't think Royal Mail will keep hold of it too long before returning to sender.

'Breaking Bad' levels of chemicals rather than starting small. So I can make carbon fibre bodywork for my racing car.

I'd quite like to get one for the missus for Xmas, but don't want to waste my money, or miss the post.

I guess I'll have to just go for it though, since you won't be able to get me a review in time?

It's that time.

Those countless hours spent crying into the pillow are over; your order has
left our warehouse.

Just in case you've forgotten what you ordered and where you had it sent to
(it happens), here's a reminder:

1 x Mopet Robot Mop (Pink)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x 12-in-1 Multi Tool Pen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x Hot Boots (Dark Brown)

Sent using: Yodel 72
At: Monday, 14 December 2015, 08:14

Orders sent using our 'Standard Tracked' postage are sent using our
courier, Yodel. Choosing this option means that your parcel shall take
around 4-5 working days to reach you once it's left our cave of
wonders/warehouse. Deliveries are made between 7:30am and 9:00pm and
require a signature (even though they never come out properly on those
little screens, right?).
Bought the pen because it looked interesting, and bought the Hot Boots because the OH will love microwaving her slippers! That and over £50 meant free delivery.

outstanding!!! i made a couple of canoe moulds, then a few boats from them, completely frustrating, quite cost effective, but ridiculously time consuming thing to do. always wanted to try making car parts, but just couldnt be bothered with the time it would take.

are you gonna make moulds off the current parts? I couldnt believe how many times i had to polish the damn moulds!

Turned up today, looks ok for 7p
Mine turned up today, and I really can't complain for 7p !

However, I'm still chuckling at the 'instruction' card - on the front you have a layout with helpful numbers against each specific tool, so when you turn it over you can see the corresponding list of numbers and a description of what each tool is / does. In Chinese...!!! biggrin

A mate started making carbon bike parts a while back. His FB page "Jolly's Carbon" might be worth a read if you're a beginner at it.
