OK I'll admit to one, a trolley for my welder

Sorry @Slow Progress, you have a £10 fine in your inbox……

“Drunk Purchases” have to be exactly that, otherwise invalid.

C’mon all, there is NOT ENOUGH ACTIVITY on this thread! What on earth is the matter with you all? Fear of SWIMBO finding out your little foibles? So come on, pour yourself a glass or three, and get shopping!

Currently, I’m looking at a £500 Nilfisk pressure washer, think I need another drink….. it would be so useful, surely she’ll see reason?

I’ve got a Nilfisk PREMIUM 180 and it’s a nice bit of kit

2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography (2021-2024) - Santorini Black
2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster (2016-2021) - Santorini Black

Having read the last few posts relating to the fear factor / influence / threats / punishment etc from forum members partners, I feel that I should declare that as I do not have a SIWMBO, or a current SWMBO being apprenticed for a possible full time role, there is no fear factor involved for me when internet shopping.

But as I regularly surf the web whilst consuming the odd libation or two,hastening to add that I include some tasty comestibles so that I do not look like a sad old git drinking alone The other fear is looking at the e-mail inbox wondering what the hell is going on, hence the latest incident involving the below -

A floor standing 12 tonne hydraulic press for £211.84, all the way from Deutschland no less. By god it's bleedin heavy My excuse being that it was my birthday when purchased.

@Rob99:

No harm done if you were sober…… -just don’t dare go back there tonight after a few….

Now THAT’s the way to move welding (or any other gear) around, I might even buy a horse as well

Nearly went for the Nilfisk 160, but now it has to be the 180,
-I’m not having someone with a bigger one than me!

SWIMBO has approved the Nilfisk purchase so now I don’t even have an excuse to indulge in a few glasses of Jam Shed of an evening

I made a case a barrister would have been proud of, explaining that we pay more than £800 a year to other people to wash cars All very good unless I get put on driveway & patio detail  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

@Merchy:

Nice one, I just love a bit of Meccano!
Brilliant, not only do you have a useful new gadget, but you also have an hour of fun building it up!

Once you have it assembled, have a good drink, and get on the above IWT website & buy a nice shiny new trailer to transport it up to Newcastle, and I’ll store it in my garage for you for free!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Gremlin .....

As for a horse, we already have one !!!!...it never ends....luckily we are able to borrow a horse box when needed, for the daughter's eventing competitions, so I refuse to look at those when drinking...so far

@Merchy:

Ummm, sorry I posted that IWT link, it might be better for you to go teetotal from now on

Those IWT trailers are built like a proverbial BSH, lovely piece of kit, and in matching livery look so cool behind a FFRR…….

Remember, teetotal, -don’t risk it!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Do love this thread I started. So my latest one was this

I spent £2k on a bloody mountain bike!!!!!



Next item was this I purchased, think I can live with this for £140. Thought it would be useful for putting the range rover inside when the weather is grim and I need too do work on it.
