Just paid £12 for a spot blaster (Aldi). Sod is I bought one last

Enough is enough. I've reached diy Nirvana, I'm finally tooled up,
I'm sorted!.
6 years lunatic tool-gadget-kit buying from Lidl-Netto-Aldi has left
me as a befuddled tool freak wreck. All that's left now is my weekly
fix of their "On sale from ..." emails. A vain, desperate hope that
the Chinese have invented some strange new novelty item, (preferably
powered) that will be mine, all mine.
Yeah. I do tools. I can handle it ...

I'm at the point where I have about 50% more tools than there is
available room for them. Renting a garage provided some respite but
only at a cost.

I find the discipline of a Kangoo van very useful. I still carry far too
many tools on the basis of 'it might come in handy'.

I never get the opportunity to use most of them. So I am now weeding
out my earlier, mainly Lidl purchases, and offering them on Freecycle.

I've been planning a clearout for ages. I had to upgrade a lot of stuff
when I started doing DIY jobs for a living, but the old stuff is still in
working order. Freecycle sounds a good idea.
