Archie has been a super star since returning to school so I treated him to a moto-x helmet, knee pads and a pair of Vans shoes ready for our boys mountain biking weekend in the Forest of Dean in two weeks.

Like suavecarve , Snoopy & quite a few other Funsters we now have a couple of clever Sittogo stools https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/new-sittogo-collapsible-stool.238181/#post-4431946 & have just succumbed & bought a new hose to play with this summer https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...-drinking-water-with-5-year-guarantee.238543/ :blusher:
Nearly forgot - bearing in mind the onboard shower will get a lot more use when staying self-contained - a spare water pump https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Comet-VI...d=link&campid=5338547443&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Ordered a Dometic macerator toilet showing as in stock yesterday.
Supplier emailed today to say it was a stock error, delivery now due late April/May 😤

New, very comfy saddle for my bicycle.
Far too much ‘leatherette’ to reupholster the front board on our Hymer drop down bed. Will have to see if we can sell the excess off!
New shocks for said drop down bed.
Ordered new tyres for Hymer.
 
Today received in post extending table leg for table which will slot against kitchen unit at sliding door of Van so that we can sit outside and eat or BBQ on it. Thinking of fitting a 2nd set of hinges for panel at rear of van as an alternative when rear doors are open.

A new fresh water drain tap - I tried everything to free up the old one, but it was solid. Can't get on with cleaning the system until the new one arrives!

New batteries - enough to carry four spares - for the TPMS senders. Can't wait to get out and about to make sure they still work!
 
This week we've bought a Fiamma Tripod Pro table leg.

It's a table stand that the leg and table top from out of the van sits in so we can use it outdoors.
Oh and some storm straps but they haven't arrived yet.

I had to renew all sim cards for our phones recently . When I did mine & went to make a call, half the numbers were missing.:unsure: Must have been on the card?
When I add a contact it offers me 5 choices
gus-lopez
sim card
phone
google
something else I can't remember?

i've never known where to put them ? I usually alternate between sim & phone but have used gus & google for stuff I'd rarely use.
but I have no idea where they go or how to access them?:LOL:

Save them to your Google account then you can access them anywhere by logging into your account and going to contacts. Google will also restore them all to a new phone. (Possibly not an iPhone)

As I said last post I have to decorate whole Bungalow we bought just over £200 worth of Emulsion , so I started decorating moving from Ensuite then to Bathroom then to Cloakroom , not finished any one room yet ,but, The Mrs. has already decided she does not like the colour I put of the walls in the Cloak Room !!!:rolleyes:
 
A shorter table pole so that when my table is outside the van on the tripod foot I don't look like a toddler eating from a dining table...
New storm straps for my awning.
Curved 'rafter rail' also for the F45s, to avoid the need for having to keep poking the awning to shed water off it, even set up with 'one leg down a bit'.

Also planning a few trips for a bit later in the year, but not actually parted with any dosh yet.
