    I decided that I can't take the wife shopping this weekend it cost us too much, so we came to a decision that we should stay home, are you with me so far?

    Well it seems even if you stay home somehow you end up with some lamps, I didn't even have a look on the computer ebay marketplace or even gumtree ect.

    Now I did all the right things, I was a good boy trying to save money to pay our bills, then out of the blue can you guess what happened?

    You got it a picture is sent to me from the same person that I got my last lamps from, hmm what to do?

    Lucky I had $50 AUD for my birthday set aside, so as you can imagine I spent it on this lot of goodies and this is what I got.

    I still never left the house as agreed, they were delivered to my doorstep.

    Now I have a question how can you hide from these lamps? Even when you dont want to buy them they just keep on coming after you, is this why its called lamptitus?

    I think it's this site that does it to us all Hahahaha Lamptitus on fellow lampies.

    Also Michael will get more coleman, Austramax lamps and mantles again as I dont collect them.

    I can understand why you couldn't say no - the "bits" alone are worth fifty bucks all day every day !

    That looks like what may be a green Calor-Dex cylinder/canister/refill lurking diffidently at the back...

    I know. It has to be cacti garden. Somehow the 'chi' in there is bringing in all those lamps and stuffs.

    Yes Michael is, but trust me he has to work for them, who do you think does the sandblasting and spray painting.
