[bitingmidge]

Grunt,

I think (and yes I did see the pictures!) that you had your head so far up the administrator's fundamental that you couldn't see what you got even if you did get something.

Now that your big brown nose seems to be free again, may I suggest you sniff around a bit, you never know what you may find under a tree near you??

I got a few prezzies early, like a new Makita LS 1040 compound mitre saw and a digital camera. On the day, the missus bought me the first season of Star Blazers on DVD (I don't expect many if any to know what that is, was a fave cartoon when I was a boy) and a game for the PC. Family bought me a book and some kitchen stuff for us both.

[Grunt]

Sorry too busy licking my privates to have a look.

[Daddles]

Let's see. I got two happy kids. Lots of love from said kids and immediate relatives. Oh, and a block of chocolate.
I did good.

I got a bit before the day, My triton, and a GMC saw. The kids got me a stanley honing guide.

The one thing l really wanted was a shed pass, but by the look on the face of the other half when l mention that word it will be a while coming.

I was very fortunate and I got a new crosscut tenon saw, a Veritas scraper plane and a book on hand tools.

Our daughter and her other half gave me an old handsaw with an Aussie scene painted on it. Wonderful gift that I will hang up in the house.

[HappyHammer]

I got $200 to spend at Bunnies, $50 to spend at the local fishing tackle shop, some chocolate (All gone), t-shirt, baseball cap ("I'm tired of work getting in the way of my fishing", or some similar caption, now official fishing hat.) A couple of books one of which is a book of all the BIG things in Australia which is actually quite an interesting read. Yes I was given this book because I have had to do U-Turns on more than one occaision to have my picture taken next to a big thing. OK I said it .

I am very lucky this year.

Also blessed with two Healthy kids and a missus who's loves me, she must be mad.:confused:

Oh yeah and a subscription to Australian Woodworker mag.

I got $200 to spend at Bunnies

So what did/are you get/getting at Bunnies?

[HappyHammer]

So what did/are you get/getting at Bunnies?

Good question Borer, I'm not sure, I was going to put it towards a cordless drill but with my new Shed project coming up next year I was thinking maybe putting it towards a CMS, Bandsaw or Drill Press.

Whenever I think about it I have to force myself to stop as my mind starts racing with all the options.

Considering having a potter around at Bunnies and buying little bits and pieces or maybe save it until I can start on the interior of the new shed and get some timber for the storage.

The trouble with buying heaps of little things is the money disappears and you don't seem to see where it went. This is especially the case if you are buying tools just because you have the money to burn.

I am starting to put together my grand plan of all the tools and equipment I want and then put them in a logically purchasing order so I can get short term benefit but the ultimate goal is to have everything I need rather than look back and wonder where all the $$$'s went and still be wanting for essential tools.
