    What about PPE ie boots £65, Hat £10, Muffs £10, Goggles £8, Mask £25, Knee Pads £40.

    When you do come to spend the cash I'm sure Jewson got an offer on Fat Max levels pack of three for cheap made by Stanley. I normally only use stabila but these are great

    Nippers, buckets, washboy, sponge float, grout float, bucket trowel, chalk line, china marker, universal knife, bolster and hammer... The list goes on. You'll come up with things you need, or which'll make you more efficient, all the time.

    Just today I did some shopping, and in 10 minutes I'd loaded a trolley with stuff for about the equivialent of 100gbp, and then I remembered "hey, I was just going to get some replacement sponges and a new bucket trowel...."

    Take a stroll through a tool store and I'm sure you'll come up with a heap of stuff you need, or "need"
