Are you running round the house going 'I'm 2.4m from the door'. 'I'm 3.89m from the kitchen table'

Don't let the boss get her hands on it or she'll have you weighed up

I have one and you got a real bargain there. They are invaluable for measuring any kind of gap and I use it for drawer apertures if i can't fit a vernier. Test it for accuracy just in case.

Not a car boot, but a second hand book shop. £15, 868 pages. I couldn't resist.

Last week I picked up a Stanley No3 £5, 1kg two part body filler for £3 but the biggest bargain was a Singer Heavy Duty sewing machine £10. The seller told me when he switched it on he could hear the motor turning but the needle wouldn't move so may need repairing. I got it home, plugged it in and found that it was switched over to bobbin-winding mode. I switched it back and it works perfectly. This week - nothing.

Lovely selection - good catch!

The best deal I had was a Kity spindle moulder, the type that comes from a multi part kit and shares a motor. It came with a DeWalt head and a selection of about 6 pair of cutters, plus all guarding, adjustable fence , drive belt etc, but no motor or pulley, all for £30. Biggest job was carrying it back to the car (it was a big site).

The seller's mate did help me but carried a no.2 fly press across a boot fair. How could I say no for 20 quid! But I still think one arm is longer than the other.....
