Got 2x Suicide Squad Rick Flag figures that I'll customise into something good and the latest Deadpool Pop.
B&M have excellent little £3 Dorbz figures for... just about everything at the moment. Alien, Predator, Star Trek, Tron, X-Men, Iron Man, Hellboy... Got Alien, Predator and a Chase Spock (just in case it's worth anything).
Got a £5 Playmobil ape and Bob Carolgees lookalike from Poundland for the cool little guy next door. And a 2 gang, 2m with USB port extension lead for a fiver cos I figure I'll need it at some point.
The Lego 1989 Batmobile looks amazing, as does the Harley Fatboy. Fcuk knows when I'll get building them, but I definitely will.
Oh, and I'm well pleased at getting a Rambo t-shirt that just drips the 1980s for £6.

Please post up a pic when it's done and feedback on the build process and final product. I've been tempted to buy it a few times.

Might be a while mate, I'm endlessly fixing the house and the labrador now has a pug friend! But I'll let you know come the time.

I know how that feels! SWMBO has a neverending list that she keeps adding to, but I never have the time to complete all of them. If we have the weekend together, she wants to spend time with me. But then that means no time to do the honey-do list. Realistically, a year off work plus all the salary for that year up front would help a long way to clearing that list.

I hear that! I love them to bits but the dogs are definitely not conducive to DIY...

Some solar lights seem to be the way forward, I'll know more tonight Got an excellent Transformers long-sleeve top. Empire magazine is now £7 I found out the hard way. That'll be the last copy of that I ever buy. A Belkin surge 'through' socket with two USB ports is handy and 'does the job', but I wouldn't exactly recommend it to anyone. Private Eye is as good as ever. A massive £140 Transformer is mis-coloured so it's a full-on email exchange to sort that. And then it's same again because apparently Smyths don't like money.

£80 Armani watch from Amazon's sale - pure win. Missed having a watch on my arm.
Galaxy cake bars are so good I'm limiting myself. This is surprising for all sorts of reasons.

Not bought but gifted. I got an Apple Watch. Seems to me quite powerful for a watch but I've yet to make the most of it. At the moment it tracks my heart rate regularly, and will do an ECG.

It's an Americanism. I used to hear about it on some of the youtube/TV channels so I had to look up the term. Now it's part of my lexicon.

Bought a new dog lead and found out it's one of those stupid ones that's both tape and cord - you know, so it has multiple potential failure points

I just added vodka to Stockwell's (Tesco) sugar-free cola and it doesn't taste any better or any worse

A guy on eBay does cheap flexi magnets of any image you send him, so my current crop were the new She-Ra cartoon, Gamesmaster, two former Belfast toy shops, and some magazine logo/covers. They'll get scraped if you're not careful but for 35p each they're great.

Swizzel lollies remain amazing.
