Do you just pop in nice cases and wrap for your own collection or are these to sell on?
Sell... what does that word mean?
A tiny vintage Yamaha HS-200 synth because I don’t have enough and shut your face anyways.

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.
Cheap seat for the downstairs bog.

.... shiny. Don't forget shiny.
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.
A bodywarmer.

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.

Fair point.
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.

Bought some mad lamps
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

That's ace. I can't play it, or know what it is capable of, but I still want one.
Same.
Bought this over xmas, as my drum learning software has a keys module too!

What happened to your mouse? Have you been stubbing cigarettes out on it?
Don't diss the mighty MX518!

One of the best mouses ever made. I'd still be using mine if I hadn't needed to move to an ergonomic stand-up thing. Now my kid uses it. A fine family heirloom!
Embracing middle age. Just bought a hand held steamer as ironing sucks.
Amiga Clock
Saw it on RMC (about the only YouTuber I watch who hasn't quit in the last fortnight) and thought "I need that".

Link please, Kern!
Ta muchly!
Looking at it now and quietly regretting how much of my childhood was spent picking colours for Workbench.
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!

I am going to treat myself to one of these too.
Do they work? Sounds like a good idea. Ironing has always felt like such a waste of existence.
Hang on, isn't a handheld steamer... An iron?
I think you just hang stuff up and squirt steam at it rather than ironing it. I have my doubts about the effectiveness.
£120 off thanks to Jan sales and 10% off through app first purchase.
Those are only for best though.

It depends on if you just want to release creases, or iron them in.

Noice!
Milwaukee only really started the consumer push after I bought into Makita so I think we have to have playground arguments now.
I do buy Ryobi to fill in the blanks though, hooray for battery adaptors!
* Rocks up in his DeWalt t-shirt looking to start a fight *
DeWalt Disney, amiright!
I'm a Makita fanboi.
Shout out to Einhell too. Best of the second cheapest brands, in my opinion. My electric chainsaw is into it’s third year now
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.

But I bet it’s better than the next cheapest one.
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.
Actually as serious question, if I wanted to get a "Starter kit" is there a particular one people would recommend? Purely hobby / DIY so it doesn't need to be super-tough top-of-the-line shit.
I have a Black and Decker drill and Driver set. It's done me fine for DIY and hobbyist stuff.
My old one.
£12.
£12.

Even the workzone or whatever stuff from Aldi will generally do a job just won't take being hammered day after day by someone using it for work.

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