My dog comb / de-shedder arrived.

It's EXACTLY the same as the link below but without the branding. £3 delivered!

I've bought quite a lot of tat off wish recently.

I won't bore you with the AR components except to say when a piece of cheap steel magazine catch is $70 in the US and $7 on wish, you're going to go with the chinese version. It works, isn't load bearing and is extremely unlikely to fail. Actually, I've now enough spares that I really should buy another lower...the gun bag was a nice bit of kit for $20, too.

Aside from that, I usually get the $1 or $2 brushes, or a bulk pack of 50 Mr.Muscle magic erasers.

Currently, I'm waiting on:



So if my wife or I wake up in the night and go for a pee, we won't wake each other up.

Oh, and some umbrella corporation stickers.
I've got one of these, it's great!. Bought a friend one too for Xmas!

Batteries don't last long though as it's always sensoring I guess. Or the cheap batteries I'm trying to use up are no good. At £1 for 30 from the market it's probably the latter...

Definitely works well, I can pee in the night without waking SWMBO.
I'm worried about all of you with a toilet in your bedroom. M ver heard of an en suite and a door?
I've got both an en-suite, and a door. And a door on the en-suite. Problem is that ideally you want to open the door and turn the light on so you can see where to be, to turn round and close it. Exiting, you want the light on to confirm that you've not trapped the cat in there, etc. Could probably put in a very low wattage bulb to have the desired effect, but then it's a bit of a chore if you want to use the khazi before you go to bed...

If you find the replacement blades, let me know, please. I think they've changed the design and the manufacturer isn't offering them any more.

Haven't checked if the handle comes off but i have no need to, it feels good in the hand and works well.

i had a quick scan of the escription on the link i posted above and can't see removable handles as a feature?

Got an link, was tempted to try a furminator on our rabbits but I wasn't wasting £27. 3 quid worth a try.

Might just be the new ones - there’s a range of different style grips for doing different parts of the body easier.

Cheers but I now feel having signed up it's a slippery slope.

Ordered 2 hats and some other tat.

If you order a product which only one gets processed a day do they refund the postage
. I didn't realise it was a one order item.

No idea. But it's too late anway. I know you're still browsing for all sorts of crap. Welcome! The water is lovely, isn't it?

I have no words for this.

It's a mixed bag.
My aliexpress history:
2 vuvuzelas. 1/3rd the price of ebay and just as annoying. Great.
Replacement dvd mech for my harman all in 1 job. Wrong lazer, didn't work.
2nd attempt to get above from another seller - never arrived and they rejected my "it's not here" case.
There won't be a 3rd.

Meanwhile, my cl early dodgy ebay Cree led bike lights are still going strong. I just don't charge them overnight or when i am out in case the house burns down smile
Vuvuzelas.... a bloke I know decided at the time of the s.a. World Cup that vuvuzelas were the future, so bought 5000 at around 50p each. I think he sold around 10..

We have a couple of pir cupboard lights to along the route for this.

Bangood is probably my favoured, occasionally gearbest.

Have bought lots of high power led torches, I have a think for them.. (and they get used!).
A quad copter
Smart sockets / lightswitches
Charging cables
Stocking fillers
An arduino (unused...)
Those metal folding puzzles
Radio gear and servos

Ordered this because I was finding it hard to believe something was ten pence (including delivery).
