Over a 12 month period Steve

After shifting the junk mail a voucher from Costco for £128.24....have I really spent £ 6,412 ex VAT over the past year..must have...a top notch supplier and one close to me or on the way home form work

Getting a 1/2 dozen free range egss from a chap at work who has a small holding...me thinks i need to but so Britain's chickens to put on his desk

Nice buy with the Farmall A ....Hajo.... I have the 1/32 model and also the real deal a 1941 one....

Tipping over a 100 piece screw driver bit set.....not all 100 were out of place but at least 80%

The days stretching....looking out just now just after seven and its light

A cracked front tooth repaired for £ 17.24 and did not have to suffer a freeze injection and suffer the after effects

I can't remember seeing Martin there Paul. He came up to Aberdeen for the first show but not last year. He has some amazing builds.

Well I had to refer back to my Britain's spreadsheet and see the dates of purchases from G&M...which stood at 239 back in the Spring of 2007....6 years on it has grown quite a bit. Again it was the first time I had seen RJN's models and was very impressed. Had there been a 1957 Nuffield Universal DM with sliding hubs like my own I would have certainly bought one of them.

Some amazing looking models produced by Andy there Paul. I remember first seeing him with some of his models at the National Museum of Rural Life at Kittochside East Kilbride when model shows were held there in 2005, 2006 and 2007 according to my Britain's purchasing records. I seem to recall you there with a Green Landy and canvas cover if my memory serves me correct I think me or someone needs to do an article on Mr Sewell's creations for Model FARMER

That in theory should be a relatively easy one Mike with a couple of wreckers max.... and the road closed... but things can go wrong.....anyway I look forward to seeing the photos of the recovery.

Got my new Elite 2.8 KW infra red heater assembled and going....no excuses for not going out to work in a cold garage in the winter time now

Brings back found memories Paul. I drove an L reg circa 1972/73 7000 with a Howard spreader helping out at a friend farm in the 80's. A bit powerful beast and they had a Quickie loader for it and my friend always says he wished he had kept it since it was one of the best loader tractors he and his family had. Usual thing I suppose you needed to trade in to upgrade ...sorry no pictures to share only fond memories

Quite wet and heavy stuff yesterday but now freezing so thr roads will be liek skating rings today.

This fellow employee at Halliburton ( plonker) At least my tow bar saved me but I'm not finished with them yet... When I moved forward to put my rucksack and laptop in the boot it pleased me to see they cracked their rear skirt

Been snowing most of morning here in Dyce but doesn't seem to be lying here....might be a bit different on the back roads home.

Coming into work and opening an eamil from our Chairman, president and CEo with a link to my bonus for 2012. A month later but he ho its a good one....windfall gains are a winner....I can see March being a month to spend spend spend

The former Barry

No room for more tractors Robert as much as I would like another restoration project. I'll be spraying up my uncles steelyear for a garden ornanet and I said I would spray a friends MF135 bonnet provided he does the panel beating filling and cleaning etc.

Thats is what is needed at shows to keep them alive Paul...variety....and not the same displays year on year.

Happy Birthday Brian. Only a samll portion for me at Gretna

Yes Robert those were two small bench ones for £ 36 for two. Will use one on integral workshop and keep second one as a spare. The one I bought yesterday is for teh main gargage and weill it will be hand for the spray shed as welll since Im have some spray work coming up this year. I was at a builders merchant's for a door post for my garage and I saw one on offer reduced from £ 180 to £ 160 + VAT. Went home did a google and bought one for £ 150 + VAT delivered. They put out a good heat and are quite economical to run ...or so I'm told.

I'm liking the sound of Leyland's and Andy's implements

Well done ...Sue... I have had £5 since I was around 10 and then lost them but I think I managed to find them again but I have probably lost them again....I really need to find them and cash in my investment from 40 years ago which has made nothing to me....a bit like £4 every week on the Lottery....but hey ho nothing ventured nothing gained

A large Infra red electric heater for my garage...should arrive this week and be cheaper more efficient and better than the propane gas guzzler I used to use which also produced condensation and a gassy pong.
