I bought a paddling pool! And some school shorts and socks. Yay! Except I managed to get them delivered to the old flat. And I ordered the school shorts in the wrong colour. And possibly the wrong size as I’ve just remembered he takes a size smaller. |

Reminds of this place - https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restauran ... gland.html I spent many a Saturday in here as a child. With all the wonderful drinks. D&B and sarsaparilla remind me of home.. |

Is that where you’re from then, Rossendale? |
Author: | KovacsC [ Wed Apr 21, 2021 14:40 ] |
Post subject: | Re: What have you bought? |
Yes. From a town called Rawtenstall, in the Rossendale Valley, just near Accrington. |

I love my 501s. There is a shop that sells 'vintage' jeans. I get most of my 501s from there. |

Post subject: | Re: What have you bought? |
I’ve only worn 501s for years now. As a kid and young adult they were so aspirational and unaffordable that when I could afford them I just stuck, despite the fact that on the jeans pricing spectrum they’re definitely in the bottom quartile. |

Post subject: | Re: What have you bought? |
Yeah, I moved away from them and now I don't know why I did that. I was having a look at Hebtroco but ASOS 501 was an easier search. |

DavPaz wrote: The were really tight. Especially aroond the arse That's what I found with 501s. I found Wranglers were much better for me. Now that I'm old and don't give two tuppeny turds about brands, I seem to have ended up mostly wearing M&S jeans, but that's partly because Mrs. W usually buys my clobber for me. |

I bought Alpha 5 and Zordon to look after my Command Centre Attachment: PXL_20210418_090954414.jpg And a Playstation game from a charity shop. I wouldn't have bothered normally, but it's still sealed. How about that? Attachment: PXL_20210426_105531673.jpg

Post subject: | Re: What have you bought? |
I got the B&D one as I already have a drill from the same battery line. If I keep escalating my woodworking at the same speed that I have over the last 2 months though, I might have to upgrade. |

I was pretty chuffed at having re-painted the inside of the garage door. But I had to look up what an impact driver is, so I guess I have to hand this in. Attachment: epaygs_visaprezzy_card_diyer.jpg

A second hand but really good condition trampoline. The unforgiving placement on the gravel is (probably) temporary. Although I think it's a good way to deter them wrecking the side netting and falling out. Lady T wants to get rid of all the stones and lay some artificial grass. It's probably a good idea as it'd create a level space for the kids play equipment. |

Post subject: | Re: What have you bought? |
I am glad you are still optimistic - thinking that "hey, kids, if these things happen, you'll really get hurt!" will be a deterrent. Definitely going with Lady T, there (though if it were the UK I'd be slightly despairing at all the artificial grass that I see around the place - bit different where nature hides venomous things). At some point they might hit the gravel, and you won't take any pleasure in any warnings being right. |

At some point they might hit the gravel, and you won't take any pleasure in any warnings being right. haha, I was slightly joking but also, injuries build character (again, slightly joking) I'm not a massive fan or artificial grass either, but we've got a fair bit of real grass already although it's not especially flat, and even a very slight gradient is quickly revealed when a big-ish trampoline is plonked down on top. We also bought some second hand monkey bars, but they will need fixing for stability. There's going to be a lot for kids to do in our yard, which will make it even more irritating when they stay inside watching telly all day . |
