When you live in a town as small as mine you don&#8217;t get many opportunities to get shopping done, so today involved driving an hour and a bit away to do that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primefactorisation.com\/blog\/2014\/07\/04\/random-grab-bag\/\">I&#8217;ve already mentioned<\/a> that some of my shopping habits can be a bit weird. I&#8217;ll buy anything as long as I can justify it by thinking &#8220;there might be a maths lesson with this somewhere.&#8221; Odd purchases today included lots of colours of play-dough, bathroom scales, shower curtain, pool noodles (I don&#8217;t have a pool) and party streamers. Hopefully you&#8217;ll eventually read blog posts about the lessons these half-baked ideas turn into &#8211; otherwise I&#8217;ve just been wasting my money.<\/p>\n<p>I did get some actual useful stationery stuff too. Coloured whiteboard markers (good ones, too) on clearance! Woo!<\/p>\n<p>And I did get Mum&#8217;s birthday present too. She sometimes reads this blog, so I&#8217;ll say no more about that.<\/p>\n<p>Most expensive purchase: new lawnmower. Saying I don&#8217;t enjoy gardening would be the biggest understatement of the year, but it&#8217;s still got to be done. I already owned a lawnmower, but it&#8217;s not very good. Seriously, the only way you can adjust the height is by removing the wheels and attaching them to a different hole. You could say that it just isn&#8217;t going to cut it anymore (I am so, so sorry).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, who cares about that. Most exciting purchase: new laminator! I&#8217;ll be honest, my school has a pretty good laminator, so I really didn&#8217;t need to buy one myself. But I like the idea of being able to get stuff done at home. Yes, I really am so lazy that I&#8217;ll avoid the two minute drive it takes to get to school if I can.<\/p>\n<p>And really, it was there in the shop and no-one was there to tell me I shouldn&#8217;t buy it. So I did.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/content\/images\/2014\/Sep\/laminator.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A new toy means testing it out first chance you get.
