What have you bought today?

I had to Google that!

When it comes to chocolate my tastes are very low brow.

Chocolate orange is as fancy as it gets.

It popped up on my news fee the other day, seems to be something that's gone viral globally. £15- £25 a bar for the good stuff. Liddle and Morrisons and have started selling a version for about 5 quid a bar but it's usually sold out. Mrs filly's going to keep an eye out over the weekend.
 
how many snickers you got through so far?

I ate the chocolate chip cookies straight away as they were fresh. They were really nice.

Everything came from the Coop which is about 3/4 mile away.

But then I started feeling really bad about the whole exercise. It just feels so lazy and wrong. So, I've not touched anything else.

I usually avoid buying Snickers because once I start I find it difficult to stop. But I'm no longer in the mood!

Watch out from diabetes.

You are letting the side down, it should of being leant against the shed for at least 3 weeks before fitting! I would of told the wife that it needs to acclimatize first.

Bottled gas. We use the Gaslight, lightweight plastic gas cylinders, in the caravan. I keep two, one in use, one ready for when we run out. Last time out, last week, we set off with a just a drop in one, and a good bit more in the second one, the intention to drain the bit, so we could sort another full bottle.

When I first bought into the Gaslight, the refills, I could get for a very reasonable <£20, from a seller not too far away, when others were wanting £36 for them. That seller was jumped on, from a great height, by the company, for undercutting others. Since when the price of a refill, has gone up, and up.

Looking for a refill today, they are wanting £60+ at many places, some as high as £80. Then we remembered seeing a sign for gas, sold at a timber yard, so rang them and asked if they stock, and their price - £44, none in stock, but they can have one by Friday, so that's on order. This is the very same actual LPG gas, sold by petrol filling stations for vehicles, costs just £25 for the very same amount of gas. Someone is making an awful lot of profit, from selling bottled gas.
 
10 - 6+foot lengths of 75x20 planed timber. Whilst away, we picked up a pair of those fancy, council style, heavy cast-iron park bench seat ends. Since got back, Avril has been tearing pallets apart, trying to salvage enough timber from them, to turn the seat-ends, back into a seat, but most of it is only fit for rough fencing, so I've been looking 'on the Market', for something more suitable to use. £10 for 10 lengths - bargain. We already have one such bench, outside the garden, to rest on, but it's a long walk to the back, so a second bench is called for at the summerhouse.
 
40 minutes of a dentists time. Check up, x-rays and a scale and polish. £124.50. That’s getting near to plumbers rates! Still got to go back again in a few weeks time to have a cracked filling repaired. That’s going to cost £239!
