A pack of druid spell cards for D&D, and two sets of pretty new dice.

An energy drink.

Chinese takeout for lunch.

I ordered dinner last night & bought stuff at Walmart, I got a new laundry hamper with wheels & a handle, I also got a basket. I got a Thigh Master too

Mitsi has new tyres and new windscreen wiper blades. She could do with a new motor and seals for the screenwash. The motor is soo rusty. It does work, but needs freeing now and then, which involves a couple of hours work getting to it to free it as the inner wheel acrch cover has to be eemobed (Jack up, remove wheel, remove wheel arch cover with its many fastners etc losen the motor and pull it apart. Free up the shaft and put it all back togerher while battling with a plentiful supply of partial shutdowns. Great! Why it takes me so long!)

So at the moment I have a leak so I am only using water in the screenwash tank, and filling it up prior to driving. It lasts a fair few hours once filled, though people look and assume Mitsi's radiator is leaking!

So that's the next plan. Look into a new motor and seals etc, and relegate the motor to easier duties. Ummm. Something to do with model trains springs to mind!

Now wiper blades for Mitsi. Where I last worked, even with staff discount I was looking at just over £20. Mitsi takes a 26" and a 11" blade for the front window. However, when I saw wipers at cheap prices, the largest is a 24" blade and the smallest is around a 18" blade. Prehaps a 16 or 14 on occasions. Unfortunately no 11.

Today I found a store that sold the fancy blades cheaply, and they had a 26" blade and even a 28! However, they only went down to 13" for the smaller one. Uhmmm. Well. I bought a 26 ad a 13 with the plan to see if it was possible to cut down the 13" blade. I decided to put them on as they are. They work. They look like they may collide, but as one blade is about two inches higer then the other at rest, and they both lift together at the same time, they don't touch, and better still, the 13" blade fits fine on the window. I reacon I could have even put a 28" blade instead of the 26 and it would have worked. And the bill. Less then £10. I could even have bought a cheaper pair again of more standard blades, but decided to get these.

Two 1GB DDR1 RAM modules for an ancient Thinkpad laptop.

A bowl of tomato bisque soup for lunch.

Two ounces.

a thing of eyeglass water repellent

Chocolate buttons

Two new pairs of glasses, by Burberry and Prada.

Thrifted lamps. Got plans to decorate blank lampshades with a Metropolis theme since they reminded me of that movie (which is why I had to have em). And I need another art project after finishing my table.
