Dab on anti flea solution for the 2 cats. Funnily its not for the fleas but for the dust mites which our black one is allergic to so he was pulling all his fur out in the winter and looking very scraggy. The vet recommended it and since he's been given it his fur is now back to normal.

Your son will be so happy! Did you get EA Access too?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Just double checked SnooopZ and the bundle came with 12 month EA Access.
Yesterday I also bought him x box gold membership along with the games, but just the 3 month one as the old purse suddenly seemed a lot lighter and I just thought when it runs out in March then I will purchase the 12 month membership then.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

The missus wanted a 3-bird roast for Xmas, but when I saw the state of them I just bought a turkey breast and some bacon for half the price and an unsmoked gammon for the rest of the money.

I noticed loads of people snapping-up prepacks of carrots, parsnips, sprouts and spuds which were all less than half those prices when bought loose.

No brainer really, for a lot of people cooking a Christmas dinner is a stressful experience. If you can simplify it and reduce the stress and spend more time with your guests or family then the extra money it costs may well be worth it considering the amount of time and/or stress saved.

Christmas day, do you really want to be battoning carrots ?

We seems to have enough food here to last for the next 6 months.

Same here, we've got enough to feed the 5,000 and some. Still better too much than not have an essential Xmas food. There's always the freezer for leftovers.

Food all in, but had to get more cans of Diet Coke. 24 cans for £5. At Tesco

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I treated myself to a Samsung 55" Smart TV UE55JS8500 TXXU and a Soundbar HWJ355 XU so a Merry Xmas to me :)

TV is superb but soundbar is a bit Meh.. Having no OSD and a rediculously small and, for me, unreadable display makes it problematical to change settings via the remote without having to get up close enough to read the display. :(

Maybe I should have looked at the 55" curved soundbar but at £700 I didn't and won't even consider it.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Still looks pretty tasty to me Mick.

A new Garmin GPS watch, a fenix 3. Very shiny and lots of toys to play with on it.

I'd clocked up 9000 miles running and cycling with the last one so feel like I've got my moneys worth out of it. Plus my plans for the next few years mean the battery life in it wouldn't last the distance.

Warrington to Manchester return train ticket.

Not working from home today. :(

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Its amazing how vinyl has made such a great comeback in the past couple of years as there are still quite a few people out there who like the physical copy rather then a digital download.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

It's not just the physical copy, CD's are limited to 16 bit resolution and 44KHz sampling. Vinyl far exceeds this dynamic range so although there's more background noise the fidelity is IMHO better. MP3's are a very poor relation especially if the sampling rate is low.

It is also the case that many artists want the vinyl sound as part of the experience for the listener.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A cast booklet for the lion king musical at the Lyceum in London. Just watched my first ever musical. Being a big security dude and musicals being way beneath my ego of course, I went in with the eager missus thinking I was in for a dire 2 hours. I don't care now though, absolutely brilliant, my first ever musical and it was truly magnificent. Excellent show, would recommend it to anyone.

TL:DR - Lion king theatre tickets and programmes. Brilliant way to round off my short escape from work to London.

Few bits and pieces from Hamleys. Magical pens etc for little ones back up north. Big Ben Pandora charm for the missus and general souvenirs.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

How many have you got now Jo.?.:)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

4 candlesticks (2 single stem and 2 Night stick holders ... think Wee Willie Winky) and a couple of large shell walking stick holders, one of which holds my ceramic poppies. I also have several ashtrays and assorted serviette rings.

The irony of my collecting Trench Art is that I HATE cleaning brass and they look nothing if they aren't all shiny. :(

Re: What have you just bought?
 

It looks very nice jo but cleaning brass is not exactly my cup of tea as our collection in our house is that of fridge magnets and we are running out of space so god knows where we are going to put further ones next when the space runs out.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Looks very nice too ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Just ordered a Harver water softener. Not cheap but looking forward to not needing to chew water.

Watch out for British Gas quotes - they had a Kinetico Sumo for £800 installed - great price but Kinetico don't make the Sumo and it's a single tank model not like the Kinetico or Harvey dual tanks.

100 3ml plastic pipettes from ebay, cheaper than just ONE from a local shop! :shocked:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I got a set of those a week or two ago. I used a Dettol one before but tried a cheap on from Home Bargains this time.

My washing machine has an Auto-Clean function and it's quite fun to see how much fizz comes up when it cleans itself. The cheap one done the job just as well and per use came out at 4x cheaper.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes we use them once a month and touch wood they seem to be doing a excellent job.

A book for the wee one (Agent 21) by Chris Ryan. He really does have to start reading again. I have now noticed that since he got his Xbox one at Christmas I don't think he has picked a book up :( so as his parent I will be making sure he starts reading again.

A Feldgrind in black aluminium. Got it since I'm roasting coffee beans at home now and I needed a better grinder than my 25 y.o. siemens electric which has done sterling service but I feel doesn't produce top notch results.
If anyone is interested, I'm using an Aeropress to make the coffee with. :)

Cheap vinegar works well in the washing machine as a descaler, disinfectant and fungicide and no, your machine won't stink of it afterwards.
