Hello ED hive mind. I am Secret Santa to someone who would like "something useful", and I was trying to think of something really useful for about ?10 or under. So, I'm wondering, what's the most useful thing you own in that price range?


Maybe something you are surprised to find yourself using every day, something unassuming, etc etc? Thanks in advance!

I'm a cyclist, I often employ such nasal clearing methods.


It's wonderfully empowering in a weird way and eco friendly.


And suitably disgusting.



As for useful things, I've a flat credit card holder with slots on each side, made of leather. Very very handy.

I love Xmas and especially the buildup. Works secret Santa's can fark right aff. Like I need those little fishes that curl up to tell me my future...or a wooden puzzle. Or tie with rudolph the red nosed reindeer that plays when you press a button..the list of tat goes on and on. .



OP not a works secret Santa. ..but I had to get it aff ma chest..#buildup17

Thank goodness I've never had to do Secret Santa with colleagues. This is amongst friends, so should hopefully avoid getting a load of plastic tat. For a tenner I've gotten her the enormous Almost Everything There is to Know (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Almost-Everything-There-Timothy-Hunkin/dp/0600570878) and a handy multitool, so if all you were getting were fortune telling fish (6 for ?1.65) HMB you were very short changed.


This thread has also reminded me to buy a steamer, so thanks!

Now I'm absolutely livid. I got Clive from accounts a plastic beer tumbler which attaches to a hat and has a straw. And I get 1.65 fishes. Next year...


I'M OOT.

    • I surmise, taking into account the existing markings, as on this from https://geomap.southwark.gov.uk/connect/analyst/mobile/#/main, the 3m on the south side of Bawdale ouside No.2 will be a continuation of the proposed segment along the side of 157 LL.  You could ask Highways Dept.

    • I’ve just seen this notice for extending DYL’s but I’m confused as to how long the extension will be. Is it going to be from LL to no.2 Bawdale Road? Or 3M from no 2 Bawdale Road? i) add new lengths or extend existing lengths of ‘DYLs’ (i) in ASTBURY ROAD west side opposite Nos. 3 and 5 Astbury Road (5m), (ii) in BAWDALE ROAD on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road),
