A £3,000 kitchen from Ikea.. Also, while I was planning that, the TV in our living room blew up, so I bought the http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-43UH610V to replace it. Nice 4K TV (although the only 4K content I have access to is on Youtube, Netflix and Amazon Video), but I'd rather have waited until my finances recovered.

I still haven't finished with the kitchen. I've got to buy a dishwasher, not to mention pay someone to install all the cabinets (including electrical and gas work, neither of which I am qualified to do).

So after an hour of reading reviews online, I've decided it's not worth buying a replacement paper shredder.

A garden incinerator at £17 works out a lot cheaper even if it only lasts one year!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Its a lot easier to burn shredded paper, I do one, and then the other.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Monkey nuts are the dogs bollocks.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Why my sister does is shred the paper (small cut) then put in with water and makes paper bricks via a mould which when dried go on the open fire.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

My sister and I have decided to get my Mum a stair lift as the council will not be able to fit one till a assessment is done which would more than likely be next year now and goodness knows when a stair lift would be fitted after that. This way she will have her Brooks stair lift next week and at the end of the day it's my Mum and Dad's, although I did phone to see if anyone rented these and I was shocked when I phoned Stannah Stairlifts to inquire about renting one, they wanted £1095 upfront :Yikes: and £77.00 monthly to rent it. So I phoned around and got The Brooks Lincoln Straight Stairlift with added extras that my Dad wanted for £1700. I personally think £850 each is well worth the peace of mind this will offer not to mention the help and confidence it should give our Mother when going up the stairs.

It is certainly a big place :shocked: as my partner and l went there with our family a little while back as my poor brother was knackered pushing me around in my wheelie as we went here , there and everywhere.:spin:

Enjoy your headphones Hom3r.:)

Well there is another option they might use to get you out of your chair and that is the rolling pin option.;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Trouble is whenever someone mentions stair lifts I get that image from Gemlins where the lift goes crazy and shoots up the stairs and out of the landing window.:D

Hope it works OK for your mum.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thanks heero it should be of help to my Mum. I was over this morning for her assessment for the alert system through the council, the good news is this should be fitted by the end of the week and this will give me great peace of mind as I am the main contact and key holder.

I treated myself to this and what's even better is the three easy payments and free steam mop :) I just hope it's as good as they say as I don't know anyone who has a Shark Vacuum Cleaner.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Bought "Exploding Kittens" and "Imploding Kittens". (I don't like cats, best to get them while they are little. :) )

Re: What have you just bought?
 

That is excellent news to hear that the alert system will be fitted by the end of the week weenie for your Mum.

Our friend mentioned the Shark Vacuum Cleaner to us the other day as his wife is giving him hints that this would be a lovely Christmas present for her.

The main Christmas food shop as it opened at 6 this morning but even then the big car park is three quarters full as they all rush in with their trolleys as soon as it opens.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Should have got it delivered Den, far less stress. Get Amazon to deliver the pressies and no need to mix with the mad cold infected desperate masses ;) Some people like all that for some reason.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

We all like to pick our fresh veg and fruit for starters as we can get the best date then and see what it looks like and we also like to pick meats and other things we can see with our own eyes too Mr K.

Yes we do do get quite a lot from Amazon come Christmas Mr K.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I shall be up the allotment Xmas morning digging my parsnips up, can't get fresher than that. I refuse to grow or eat sprouts, they should be banned on humanitarian grounds ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Well we have no garden as such Mr K so that option is not available.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I've got virtually all the tools etc. I want/need so am now increasingly deprived of opportunities to justify treating myself to more. :(

A lot can be achieved in planters and tubs you know. Even a decent window sill can yield plenty of nice stuff like herbs, chillies, cherry tomatoes etc. With your exotic tastes chillies would be right up your street I'd have thought Den. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes we will certainly think about a few planters and tubs once we get into the New Year Osem.

its too late now anyway -you have to put them on a low heat in October :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A new 4W LED filament bulb for the landing stairwell light. I was rather disappointed that this had failed as it was also LED filament and I'd fitted it as the lamp is a bear to get at but being a glass and brass star affair needs a sparkly bulb. I used to use a clear 40W golf ball incandescent.

I took the old bulb apart just to see what had failed and it seems to be the drive chip. The filaments still work fine. I guess the technology is still to fully mature.

I now have 949 Blu-rays & DVD tiles, and no room for them :D

My dec 102 I want 1,000

Re: What have you just bought?
 

The kids are happy. I'm pairing the phones with giffgaff £20/month unlimited everything. They've been told that the phones have to last them 3 years which will bring the cost down to £24ish/month. The only snag is if a phone breaks. Must look into insurance.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Do you keep watching them or just collect them? I have never even touched a Bluray i only watch Digital.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

New phone last week. I have been tracking it from the factory in China and onward through Japan and France. It has just landed at Stansted Fedex Hub. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

a flying phone :shocked: isn't technology marvelous ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yup! :p: What fascinated me was that I could track my phone from the moment I had my order authorised. Being informed when it moved from one location and arrived in the next. Transferred from airport to airport through China, Japan, France to finally reach the UK.

At which point it has been handed over to DHL and I have no idea what so ever what they are doing with it or when it will be delivered to me.

So roll on technology reaching the delivery systems in the UK. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes, it would be nice to actually know where the delivery van is so you can plan on being in at the right time. They must have this information as each item is delivered and checked off.

I bought a second hand piece of equipment form a dealer in California and it was fascinationg to watch it trickling from state to state and different carriers in the US before finally on a UPS jet to Gatwick. Then saw it put on the van but it took most of the day to actually get to me.

Still a bit of kit that originally cost over £1,000 for under £50 including shipping second hand was a bargain. Just needed a light service of the switches and it worked perfect.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Had to rush and buy a fridge freezer as the freezer went tits up this morning! Getting it delivered tomorrow before work hopefully!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

New tumble dryer as the old one we got for £20 some 13 years ago is starting to make some nasty noises. Gone for a Bosch vented model as we already have a hole in the wall and don't want to pay silly money for a heat pump version that costs twice as much or even more. Reviews are mixed and very polarised - excellent or terrible. One review changed from bad to good when they found it was installed incorrectly and there was a plastic device blocking the vent.

Shame really but the old one is OK some times then starts making a very loud noise and we don't have an utility room to mask it in else we would keep it.
