Fix that screw
I never thought I would be the sort of person who would for pleasure browse through the Screwfix catalogue. Yet I've just spent a happy half-hour doing exactly that. And thinking "What could I do with a biscuit jointer?" etc.
I've been quite restrained, though, and only actually bought the garden shredder (which is what I was supposed to be getting) plus a hasp and staple for the shed door, a new #1 Philips screwdriver (mine is worn), a circuit tester, and some light bulbs for the kitchen*. How long before I'm back again, though? It's worse than Amazon -- at least, there, guilt of self-indulgence sometimes holds me back from excess, but on Screwfix all these things are notionally useful.

waistcoatmark -- re earlier discussion, yes, one of ours has failed already.
