No idea why I can't put an amazon link in here - it just surrounds it with [MEDIA] tags :-(

AAAARRRRRGGHGHGHGHGGHHG .... I can't ruddy win!!!!

Ordered the below kayak on 10 October, buying the last red one they had, all well and good ... I've been following the 'tracking' with DHL looking to see when it is likely to be delivered but the info was never updated ... hmmmmm ... emailed the company on Monday but other than an acknowledgement that they'd look into and get back nothing back from them, so emailed again today, eventually got a response that bloody DHL, for some unknown reason, had returned the parcel to the company, who had accepted it back and this had automatically refunded me ... so here's me waiting for a kayak that was never ever gonna arrive!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....

Consequently I've been trying to see how I can re-order it as it was the last red one they had but until it goes back on the website as being 'in stock' I can't! They have given me another £10 off voucher to replace the original one I used but sod's law is gonna mean that someone is gonna buy the red one when it's put back on the site before I can ...

I am NOT a happy bunny!

Decided to treat myself to a new inflatable Gumotex kayak ... ordered this beauty:


Only kidding ... whilst I love the green but I went for the slightly more subtle red:



There's nothing wrong with my existing Twist at all and the Twist is a brilliant little kayak but seeing as hubby sold his I've 'upgraded' to the full Nitrilon Twist version. Our 2 little dogs now want to come for a paddle with me which means the inside of the kayak often gets wet from one of them jumping in/out on the shoreline and on/off the boat further out at times (she's a nutter for water!) so the only reason I'm changing is that my old Twist is a different material (still ruddy tough though) which means it does take a little time to dry whereas the Nitrilon one can just be dried off with a cloth and put away immediately so is ideal for us as we don't necessarily stop at the place where I go for a paddle.

Well, further to my earlier post about the van and house fridge, the van fridge is fixed, but the house unit is non-repairable.

So this week I've bought a new fridge/freezer.

It looks a great piece of kit. Enjoy!

Bought 2 new phones, Redmi 6 octa-cores, £95ish delivered from Gear Best - mine arrived today so hubby's sulking as I won't let him play with it!

Also just bought an rear air-assisted suspension kit for our camper, £279 off ebay less 10%, so £251 ... will fit it when we get back from Spain in the new year. The suspensions works great as it is but as we intend to keep the camper for a long while might as well put this on now and enjoy the even better ride it will give us.

Have been on a bit of a splurge this week.
On top of the Cadac 2 Cook 2 and the loo ventilator kit bought at the NEC show earlier in the week, I have bought and fitted 2 Thule Omni-vent fans to replace the roof vents in the motorhome kitchen and bathroom and a Thule wheel step so I can reach to clean the underside of the overhang above the windscreen.

and now thanks to @Minxy Girl I'm in deep do do, as I bought a couple of digital tyre pressure gauges and a Victron SmartSolar controller of of fleabay with the 10% off voucher.

Like the Thule wheel step - not spotted that before - now on Mr Wombles Xmas list

Where did you buy the Thule wheel step from

I bought mine second hand off of eBay.

Having had a look around the internet there would appear to be a bit of a rarity in the UK althought this one looks to be exactaly the same and I suspect it is.



Lazer Tool and Sealey do their version of a wheel step.

Aah !, health and safety Peter, health and safety. Standing on a step or step ladder leaning over and therfore applying a sideways force is not a good idea as I have found to my cost by the step I was on sliding out, followed by me face down across the bonnet and sliding off onto a heap on the floor while stretched out trying to clean the bit farthest away. Being on gravel as we are at home only goes to made it a lot more dodgy.

With this wheel step I can lean right across and the grip tape gives a good sure footing.

I have this wonderful image of you doing a 'splatted fly' impression on the front of your MH!

I'm still (just!) athletic enough to be able to stand on the top of the tyre and reach from there. A Moroccan windscreen washerman taught me that one.

OK guys and girls: something for everyone. These are fresh in at my local supermarket. I particularly like the subtle advertising with the young lady. I doubt that they would be phased at Kleenex's rebranding recently. I confess: I didn't buy either.

It is a quality bit of kit, I thought the price was ok for a 15w wireless charger, the reviews are brilliant and I also get a two year John Lewis warrantee.
Don't worry Langtoftlad….its only money.
