In cycling this is known as the n+1 rule.

While the minimum number of <insert object of desire here> one should own is three, the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of <insert object of desire here> currently owned.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Cheers Nash, got so used to the old mattress (Silentnight no roll together) that we didn't realise just how lumpy and squeaky it had become. Did you know that if you keep a mattress for 10 years it doubles in weight with the amount of bed mites yuk? This new one is sooo comfy! :)

Most recent buy, new lawnmower, our old Flymo gave up the ghost during first cut this year.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

an oven door liner, this one,:) special offer and not being replaced when they have gone.

I'll have to have a sit down with the excitement when this arrives.:D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I can't sleep on them, I find them way too hot, even in winter.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

In our case one of the 'advantages' of these mattresses, as Mr Tink is always frozen. They seem to reflect back the heat, we now don't have an electric blanket and only a summer weight duvet, also no roll together...... bliss............as long as he keeps his distance lol!:D:D:D

I wish you lived nearer, I could do with knowing some one with a welding touch. I have a bronze crab, sounds grander than it actually is, and one of the front claws sheared off when I dropped my lump hammer on it .... don't ask, even John backed away from asking why I was wielding a lump hammer in the conservatory :D

Went out this morning to buy a pair of jeans and came back with shoes. Red shoes, shiny red ones with big bows on the backs and pointy toes. Will need to go back tomorrow to buy the jeans and I will close my eyes as I go through the shoe department, honest. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I hope you lot realise that at this time of wage/benefit cuts and general austerity, this thread is being closely monitored by all sorts of govt. agencies hoping to extablish whether your income, expenditure on luxury items and tax payments can be properly reconciled... :D

When it gets here I have ordered an Asus RT-N56U router, reported to be in the hand of Royal Mail? (Snow bound I believe the word is)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Not a luxury purchase for us Osem, but we have decided to replace the entire flooring on the ground floor, the carpets we inherited from the previous owners 15 years ago, have seen us through trials and tribulations with our old dog. Only problem is I am left with the task of painting all the skirting boards, radiators and walls (Mr T is not a handyman). But hopefully it is going to be well worth the effort.

I'll have you know my lump hammer is not pink!!!!!!! I do not possess girly tools!!!!

Well the legs all seem to have been cast separately and added on so I am hopeful that it will be possible to weld the claw back on. At the moment the poor thing has a distinct list to the left and has to be propped up against the Aspidistra.

Errrrr that would send me passed the handbags and I was thinking that a red handbag to match my new shoes would be a tad extravagant but as you suggested the detour I guess fate has intervened. So a detour it is and I shall tell john it was all your idea. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Good company richersounds

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Ive always found them to be good on price and very professional

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Agreed, but directtvs are only a few miles away and their instore prices are so much cheaper. The TV I got for my mum is £749.98 online and £689.98 in store. Sadly Richy wanted £749. Both offered the free 5 year cover. The stand can you believe was cheaper at Currys :shocked:. We did look at your model, but she didn't want 3D.

Cheers

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Loads of Cod and Haddock fillets reduced to 40p a pack instead of over £4 a pack... or maybe it isn't Cod and Haddock after all and ASDA is clearing their dodgy stock?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Indeed that is a bargain if it really is what they say it is Taf.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Well you cant grumble at that price, and as for the 3D it was just a bonus, for me it was all about the quality, and this particular model ticked all my boxes and more besides. I first saw this TV being demo'd in my local Curries, and said to the Mrs, "Your looking at our next TV". :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Does it have a yellow or red sticker over the barcode saying "Reduced! Was £4, now 40p!"?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Asda's reductions always look like real bargains compared the ones I see in Tesco. Tesco have ones like Reduced, was £2.58, now only £2.12 and other such seemingly pointless ones. At least try and fool customers a bit by reducing it 60p and making it appear a quid cheaper!

Had some good deals in the Tesco express today on a few items. Easy to spot the good ones as there were big gaps on the shelves where the stock should be.

There is a specific logic behind the pricing of Asda's reductions so I'm just trying to establish whether or not it was an actual official 'reduction'.

Glad you had a nice time nash and spent some money in the process as well.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Awwww your wee puppy is absolutely gorgeous, I'm so jealous.

You bought Aquilegia (Columbine) sometimes called Grannies Bonnets? :shrug: This plant self seeds so you are going to have millions springing up all over the place next year.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

We've got loads already, but we got different colours and shapes, so we'll be cutting back some of the more boring ones later this year. There's an incredible variety of Aquilegia.

These flowers look lovely. I take it they come back every year. That is what I need ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes, they self-seed, so they come back. You can but them as seeds or as plants. This is the time of your to but them as plants. However, as implied above, the nicer varieties can get a bit pricey (as with most garden plants).

A new laptop.

Don't like the idea of Windows 8 so no doubt I shall be asking for advise some time soon.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

What make is it jo as we bought a Samsung which has Windows 8 and we quite like it.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Very similar to the one I have being delivered.

http://www.johnlewis.com/samsung-350...ver/p231740124

My previous laptop died last week after trying to incinerate me and, as it was only a year old and I liked it, I have opted for virtually the same laptop but with i7 and a larger HD. I can't wait to get my hands on it and get it set up as I like.

I have a feeling I will be installing something on the lines of Classic start 8 though as my trial of Windows 8 was spoiled by the lack of a start option.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Very nice indeed jo and our last laptop lasted for at least 6 years and luckily we put some money away for a new one several years ago and it was just a matter of time before it died a gracious death and sadly this happened about a month ago and the thing is in 6 years things can certainly change a lot when it comes to getting a new laptop and then getting used to all these new things on it.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Moss grows on compacted, poorly drained soil, and often in shady areas too, so push fork tines in a few inches then lean back on the handle to open up the soil. Do this every few inches in the mossy area. Lawn sand helps too. It usually contains iron which moss hates. Don't walk on it for a while though or you'll bring rusty stains into the house. The moss will blacken as it dies, then you just use a lawn rake to clear it (and give yourself a good cardiac workout too ;) ).

Don't cut the grass too short either!
