Most of the iced buns are in the freezer. So we will not be eating them over the next few days. Bought the toothpaste because it was on special and it is the only kind that we think is the best. It gave you all something to think about ha ha

A new Beko 9kg washing machine from AO for £250 (inc. next day delivery) to replace our 8-9 year old John Lewis machine which has today stopped working (drum not rotating or spinning) and cost around £350 at the time. I had a look online for possible failures (motor, circuit board, broken drive belt) and checked the belt was OK then decided it wasn't going to be worth paying out for a repair on an old machine or the hassle of me fiddling around with it for days and quite possibly coming up with nothing. I've gone for a 9kg machine on the basis that it'll have plenty of oommpphh for our needs and it has an auto detect setting which reduces the amount of water used according to the weight of the load. Anyway, I'll report back when we've had a chance to use it.

I agree nash we tend to use vouchers with family and friends where we have no idea what to buy for example our niece we buy a £15.00 Vue cinema voucher as we know that she will use them for my eldest son we just give money now and for his fiancee we now get a charm as we bought her a charm bracelet a couple of years ago although I'm thinking of getting her a nomination bracelet this year as she always admires mine.

Osem 02-11-2016 15:39

Re: What have you just bought?
 
Just a warning about these vouchers, make sure the recipients use them. An alarming number of people forget to use them so it's money just wasted. Osem Jnr. had a few gift vouchers (Post Office I think) which after a period of time reduced in value and if it hadn't been for me reminding him more that once they'd have been worth nothing. It cost him a few quid but hopefully he learnt his lesson.

12 500cl bottles of craft beers for £8. Tesco was having a clearout. Included 6 Cornish Sharps Amber, and 4 Wychwood Goliaths.

Some reduced items: Baking spuds were £1.25 now 29p, Hereford rump steak was £4.50 now £2.99, Black puddings were £1.80, now £1.19.

Bargains that your freezer loves. :) (Not the spuds LOL)

Ah! The good old £100 shop for a packet of batteries. Costco is great at parting you from your money. It's the "shelf discount" (not in voucher books) that get you.

If you have Amazon Prime, you can watch Amazon Video through it. And other things like iPlayer & Netflix etc. Some side load Kodi onto it, but it's not that good with the stick.

For iPlayer and Netflix.I prefer to use Chromecast by far.

Refurbished laptop for wife's Christmas present.

She wants to get back to work so needs own laptop and fed up of sharing with the kids. This is 3rd from the same company. Yes I found a better one with some upgrade options elsewhere but a quick search on the company found some very unhappy customers.

I'll strip off Win 7 and put on Linux. If I can find a good price for Win 10 I may add that too. Some seeming good offers til you read the small print that it includes a broken PC to comply with licensing (fair enough) but free postage then become £85 to get the bust PC to you. So Win10 for less than £10 isn't what it pretends to be.
