From a guy that only buys STRICTLY dark wash jeans, and now tapered fit jeans

I have gone for a pair of grey chinos

Crosshatch as a brand have generally let me down... but im willing to take the risk

 

Four 3000mAh batteries and charger. Should keep the G700 running wireless for a bit longer.

 

Plus a few other Paul Smith and Eton shirts for work in the Jules B sale.

 

A pair of thermal socks to go with my boots i've ordered.

 

Impulse buy. Got bored and walked into phones4u.

 

Apart from consumables (beer and food), a Samsung UE40EH5000 TV for my Dad. It's an early Christmas present - no way I could have hidden that thing, and he'd probably have had an aneurysm watching me setting it up... you get to be awfully aware of the fragility of the thing when it's big and shiny and smooth...

 

An Oliver Sweeney Black Rover Coat, for a quarter of the RRP.



(Not the greatest image, looks better on a suit)

 

THQ Complete Pack & Portal 2 on Steam. 2013 is now sorted

 

I really do love the coats everyone's getting! I'll be sure to get one next week when I go shopping for more things...

 

Dishonored
Sleeping Dogs
Hitman Absolution

Should tide me over until GTA V (hopefully) comes out on PC.

 

Likewise! Though i got the 920. Wonderful so far..

 

It's Christmas Eve, and I did all of my shopping in about 5 hours! Yes, last minute and all, but I got everything I wanted/needed and it's wrapped and under the tree with no dramas Also picked up a few bargains for myself whilst out and about!

-Presents for Mum & Dad, my bro & his wife and a couple of friends. Also the usual cards, flowers etc.

Now the good stuff

Dremel 3000 kit - my trusty old 300 is out of action at the moment so until the new switch for it arrives in the new year, I can use this one. It never hurts for me to have two anyway, one can live in my site box and one in the workshop.



A couple of FireAngel Atom smoke alarms for the garage and workshop. It only occurred to me in the past couple of days (after I heard about a casualty in a house fire next door to one of my customers) that neither my workshop or garage at home have smoke detectors in them. These are cheap and simple to fit and test. It'll be interesting to see how the one in the workshop deals with solder fumes until the new fume extraction system is installed in the new year.



Two of these Stanley FatMax organisers to keep my site "bits" in order. I'm tired of having lots of boxes of screws, plugs, connectors, clips etc in my site box and having to open and close each one every time I need something. I should have got these years ago... They're both full already!



I intend on getting another few of the shallow 24 compartment FatMax organisers for RC stuff and smaller fasteners like rivets, socket cap bolts etc. I already have draper storage drawer units on the wall of the workshop, but those aren't much good when I need to take anything on-site. I'll also be needing a bigger one for AV connectors soon.

Another FatMax 28" tool box - this one is another cable trunk for my gig cables, mics etc. These things are awesome.



I didn't buy this today, but it's ordered and coming in the new year. I'll be perfectly honest, it's only to hold me over while my Weller combi station is away being repaired, and it will probably be on eBay in a couple of months - Metcal HCT-900-21.



I also ordered a 21" iMac and iPad mini yesterday. Not for me though, before any of you panic

 

I <3 Crosshatch! Let me know how long they last

Jack and Jone Chinos are a massive nono though, mine's falling apart, buttons, horrible

 

Got both The Monkey Island games (1 and 2) and KOTOR I and II on steam in the flash sales.

Hoping I won't have any issues with them

 

Chino's in general should be a no no, if you consider yourself a fully grown adult male anyways....


(if your a 17 year old boy it's... well, the norm I guess)

 

Flights to/from Texas next August (see here).

One of these:-



£300 off 55" TV in Currys sale!

 

I'm a 15 year old boy and what is this?

Seriously, I hate chinos.

 

Anno 2070 in the Steam sale. No doubt I'll be buying a few more before the end of the day.

 

Yup Anno 2070 for me too. Been watching Gunny's vids, they got me convinced...
