Digital Weather Station for wife's birthday - only a relatively cheap simple one, used-very good from Amazon. She really just wants the outside temperature but even the simple units that are rated good enough are not much cheaper than this one. Looking at prices the sensors (outside) can make up a fair bit of the price.

Do you mean one of those medi-alert type things? Been considering one for Osem Jnr # 2 so would be interested in what you think and whether they'd be any good for someone with multiple medical issues.

I have a Medic Alert bracelet and it gives me peace of mind that all my medical conditions, the associated medical teams and the phone numbers of my husband/son can be accessed through one phone number. I started with a cheaper set up that had a paper insert but I always worried that it wasn't a very robust solution. Medic Alert engraves your information on the back of the bracelet/disk together with their contact phone number. It isn't the cheapest option but I do think it is one of the best.

The only thing that my be a drawback is if Osem jnr decides he doesn't like the feel of it.

Oh and on a reassuring note the ambulance team who last had to get me to hospital when I collapsed noticed the medic alert symbol immediately as did the Doctor in A&E.

Osem 12-09-2017 21:37

Re: What have you just bought?
 
Thanks guys yes that is what I mean. It's a good point about getting him to wear anything like that as he's never had a watch or anything like that so maybe we'll try him with a simple plastic bracelet and see if he tolerates it before deciding if this is the way forward.

You should contact ebay and get them to give your money back.

Oral B Smart 6500 toothbrush - I missed the offers on Amazon so ordered on on Ebay for the same price (£70) - not paying the £130 now on Amazon. The new models don't have a "timer" and use mobile phone apps but who takes their phone into bathroom?

Halfords battery (car) charger - just one of the cheaper models but I think I need something to work at a lower ampage to get charge more fully into battery (according to RAC man called out last time flat battery).

For those buying vouchers it's worth looking at the discount sites. These can offer discounts of vouchers so recipient gets same value but you pay less. Hides your stinginess (or promotes your generosity).

Just bought some gypsophila & forget me not artificial flowers for my Mum's grave since lately the flowers that I leave seem to be getting eaten by the rabbits within hours of being placed.

I just want my Mum's grave to look nice, although I'm not a lover of artificial flowers until I can come up with another alternative, I really do not know what else I can do. I have tried everything even bought a bitter apple spray from pets at home that I sprayed all over the flowers on Friday but again the rabbits also seemed to love this.

Is there any gardeners on the forum that can advice what flowers rabbits do not eat or what I could spray on the flowers so they won't eat them. Any advice would be most welcomed thank you.

Gtech AirRam cordless floor vacuum and Multi cordless hand vacuum pair for £279.99 from Argos. That's an extra £20 off in the extended Black Friday promotion.:)

Ordered on-line and collected within the hour at the local shop. Just charging the batteries now.

It'll be nice to use smaller cleaners instead of having to lug out my big, noisy Aquavac. That's still good for serious vacuuming: Stones, cement, earth. water etc
