I am looking at Leatherman multi tools. I haven't bought one yet but they seem like a nice thing to have.

I am looking for something to ask for for my 30th birthday in November - I want something that I will keep forever.

I bought one for my dad 34yrs ago (before you were born!! ), when on holiday in the US, he loved it & used it often, always went with him. Sadly, after he passed away, it went missing. I have a cheaper version, that is always with me in my wheelchair toolkit & it has been used a good few times too. It is a good thing to have & as long as someone doesn't nick it, you will have it forever.

@JessieJ thanks for sharing, a lovely tale, glad it gave him many years of reliable service.

depends what you are buyuing from TEMU.

clothes with complex designes and paterns will be a bit risky,especialy if your paying a fair amount and are depending on that item for something when its delivered.

i bought a lot of sensory toys,a mechanical visual timer,a nice looking cotton-y sort of unisex autism bracelet,a hooded plain black t shirt (i had a naff naff hooded t shirt when i was 10 yrs old so i bought it as it gave me good memorys-it was £5.99 ) and i got my mum a really nice looking blouse she chose. i got size 5XL as i knew they were using smaller chest size. TEMU already have a warehouse in the UK (london i think?) and a few other countries though to make it quicker ,all my support staff got adicted to the site and bought clothes off there,at least 3 people told me it took them less than a week an half or was around a week and half for delivery.

for me it took 2 weeks i think-all decent stuff apart from the bracelet but i wasnt expect designer quality for £1.88 lol.

so my mums blouse , it had a lot of pattern and colour to it, and what it showed on the screen was a much better print than what she got. it looked like they used an image with a smaller resolution than what they needed but my mum was happy with it, and i was happy with my tshirt which fitted like a comfortable size XXL .

but one of my support staff said she will not use TEMU again for clothing or jewelery.

A fishing brolly stand yes you read right

@life ... there's nothing like looking at a bunch of stuff you don't need to make the time fly 

@CATP ... I bought a cool looking t-shirt from TEMU ... it's going to come in handy for polishing. lol
I buy mostly stuff for my toolbox from there, things I may only ever use once or twice ... some things are worth the money, some you know why they're so cheap.  Out of 40 items in the past 6 weeks I've only been disappointed in one

Chances are 75% of the cheap stuff you get on ebay come from there or AliExpress

For clothes my wife swears by SHEIN ... another Chinese outlet with good prices, quick delivery, just have to bear in mind the sizing difference ... there's never a winning answer to ... does my bum look big in this ...

@Sandy_123 ... I've got to ask ... why a fishing brolly stand  (and don't say for a fishing brolly lol)

Sandy_123

@WelshBlue for a fishing brolly 

So in the hot weather my son who goes fishing, a boring sport, gave me a fishing brolly to use in the garden. Which I found was good over the chair. However it sticks in the lawn. But now I've moved the chairs onto the slabs. So hence the brolly stand. Which also sticks into the ground, but I figure it's thin and pointy enough to go between the slabs. Hopefully.  You did ask

A new vape tank and tattoo balm.

@WelshBlue, I don't know whether to hug or slap you for mentioning TEMU. I'd never heard of it so looked it up & of course spent an age on there & now have an order coming!!

life

Don't worry you'll come back down to earth in a few days @JessieJ lol

I also heard of it on here and couldn't help myself from buying stuff on it. I haven't been on it for 2days now so the thrill has gone 😂

Sunglasses and posters 🤷

That's a common theme with most people who know me    My wife usually ...

Hopefully everything is good with your order.  I love the sunglasses I got from there

@Poppy' ... out of interest what vape tank did you get ? I currently use RTA's (rebuildable coils and wicks) but am looking for a tank with replacable coils for the car.  There's so many that it's nice to get feedback from real people.  Not interested in clouds, more something that gives good flavour.  I did have a VooPoo tank but the coils kept leaking when the liquid is warm.  Also got an Innokinn Zlide tank but find the flavour very muted no matter which ohm coil I use.  Thanks if you read this

@Sandy_123 ... makes perfect sense.  A nice big brolly you can place anywhere

life

@WelshBlue have you tried disposable vapes? Elf bar and ske crystal bars I find have the best flavours and lasting flavour.

I used to do what you do now but could never get the flavour to last long. Would have to always change the coils. Cheaper your way though 👍

JessieJ

@WelshBlue, cheers! Have already received the dispatched notice, so not too long a wait to find out.

@life, I used to vape many years ago, building coils & mixing my own nic juice, then gave it up . Was erm...encouraged to try a disposable last year, Elfbar & wow, the flavour. Not a fan of disposables, as not so kind to the environment, but have bought a pod kit. I did try out Red Astaire again, that was my go to when mixing, but the new flavours are so much better. Now there is Elfliq, the same as in the Elfbar disposables, but kinder than just being chucked, can go in refillable pods & are fine. Apart from the ridiculous 10ml bottles that are law with nic liquids. Never got or get the TPD, but because of that, you now have disposables & even more tiny bits of plastic.
