Not so much 'bought' as my employer supplied it for my job but on the day Apple announced its newest version my shiny new iPad Air arrived :D

I won't lie, I have never actually needed one (my laptop has always been adequate) but since it arrived I'm having difficulty working out how I managed without it :D

Obviously I have to give it back one day (hopefully when the company decides they all need to be upgraded??) but I just love it. It does have its limitations (it's only the 16gb version, doesn't have a fingerprint scanner, front camera is only 1.2mp etc) but considering it was 'free" I won't complain too much...

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes we have never been to America but if we could do it in another life sometime in the future:) its certainly a impressive country to visit as there is so much to see in the land of the free.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

You are right Den ;);)

Just don't get sick or have an accident....

Yes its pretty expensive if something goes wrong health wise that's for sure.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A full size spare wheel to replace the spacesaver that came with my car (mk1 focus). Only cost me a tenner, but it looks like it'll take some work to make it fit 100% (the spare wheel holder is designed for the original spare, which is half as wide as the new one)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I wish my car came with a spare wheel, i dread getting a flat.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

You can usually buy a wheel and toolkit from your dealer, ebay or a scrapyard.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Or get shot... :erm:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Just pop in a can of this It's a get you home or to the garage fix for a short while.

A online supermarket order.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yer, the car comes with a puncture repair kit that fills the tyre with foam, a pain in the ass to remove i heard.

Last time i got a blow out i was luckily still able to drive it a few files and get the tyre replaced but if anything like that happens on the way to the airport on the M25 then i am in trouble!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Once attempted to assist a lady with a nail in the side wall of car tyre.
No spare supplied with car from new (just as has been mentioned, a can of foam sealer).
Ended with the lady calling out motoring service to have a new tyre fitted.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Karcher MV2 hoover and a K4 home jet wash.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

That's the big problem with sealants. If the puncture is more than simply a nail in the centre of the tread they can't do much at all to help.

Case in point: While on holiday in Scotland I came across a couple of tourists who's suffered a puncture in a hired Focus after hitting a rock and damaging the wheel quite badly. Luckily the car had a spacesaver wheel supplied, but someone had made off with the wheelbrace, or the rental firm had removed it to force them to call if there was a puncture.

Of course, this wasn't much help when on a wet Scottish hillside with no mobile signal. Luckily my car's wheelbrace and jack fitted, and we got the wheel changed, but a can of foam would have been no use at all.

Saw 2 watches at Stratford I would have liked.

A cheap but excellent sounding set of these from Amazon

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A pack of 50 cool white 5mm LEDs from Amazon for £1.79.

I need to repair a couple of my patio solar rocks that seem to have some failing LEDs ( gone dim ) and are flaking out early. Looks like they were static damaged during manufacture or just poor quality. :(

They have 4 LEDs mounted on a small printed circuit board fixed with some silicon rubber to the rear of the reflector so repair should be straight forward. I'll probably upgrade the solar cell at the same time seeing as I have a few and the originals are going misty.

Looks about as much use as a chocolate teap... to me. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I've opened it up and yes there's a dud LED, draws a lot of current but don't really light up. Another one had a dry joint. Found I had a white LED in the bitsa box so I've fitted it.

Got to get some fresh clear silicon sealer to put it all back together. Pix taken, I'll write it up when all done.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

No that's not quite like the one we bought.:D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Nice!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Excellent. If you're flying Iceland Air see how much it'll cost to go Saga Class if you aren't already booked on it.

I love that country and the aurora is, in the literal sense of the word, awesome.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

We are flying Iceland Air but not Saga Class. It's a package they do - flights, hotel, excursions so there was no option to upgrade. However, economy on Iceland Air sounds so much better than Easyjet so not complaining.

Cheers

Tickets to go Whale Watching off Cape Cod in October.

Don't mind at all.

We started with the basic trip from here then added some extras, ending up with three nights flying from Manchester staying at the Hilton for £1034 all in.

Might see you on the plane!
