A heated gilet!
It's quite toasty, but I'm somewhat disappointed that it doesn't turn my torso into a vision of hell as shown in the picture. 2 stars.

Do you just pop in nice cases and wrap for your own collection or are these to sell on? |

A tiny vintage Yamaha HS-200 synth because I don’t have enough and shut your face anyways. Specialist YouTube channels and home working are a terrible combination… |

Thankfully I’ve only been buying things that are absolutely necessary and have not been swayed by the allure of extra dials, sliders, lights and oscilloscopes. |

Don't forget shiny. I'm unconvinced this needs to be specified. It has long since slipped into the (literal) world of metaphor, where a British person risks flogging if they don't describe something as 'shiny', even if they are describing a newly painted matt wall. |

Many, many packages arrived after black Friday. The most grown up despatched first and arrived last - dumbbells adjustable from 2 through 36kg in lovely compact packaging. The amount of effort just moving the two boxes around and unpacking is a strong indicator of how broken I am after the first session with a new personal trainer on Monday. |

1st synth of the year bought… a 1979 Casio VL-1! Wanted one for a while and this came up today for the same price they were when released (£39). Still relatively a bargain as due to their cult status they’re can go for over £100. Da da da

My first Workbench was 3.1 on my A1200 so I never had that trouble, luckily. MagicWB and MUI were no-brainers! Clock ordered though! |

Do they work? Sounds like a good idea. Ironing has always felt like such a waste of existence. |

I think you just hang stuff up and squirt steam at it rather than ironing it. I have my doubts about the effectiveness. |

We borrowed Helen's dad's einhell shop vac to clean up mortar and so on post-chimney-and-roof work, and it makes an incredible amount of noise for a minimal amount of vacuum. Luckily I have 85dB ear defenders which fit over my noise cancelling earbuds so one of those problems was solved. |

I like Milwaukee. I use these crates on wheels for work and they've been a godsend to transport stuff about. I bought them off a guy who knows a guy who gets them cheap and they cost me £60 rather than the £200+ everyone wants online. |

I've heard decent things about the Parkside range from Lidl. And there's a fuck ton of stuff that uses the same battery |
