A pair of rocking zero G chairs - black. We paid £45 each so gone up since yesterday. Our current chairs are tearing.

Kioxia 1TB Nvme SSD for £69 off Scan on Ebay. Had a 10% off voucher. Not the fastest SSD in the world but a solid performer.

Another official Samsung S7 Bookcover case in Navy as it is going so cheaply, hopefully I've not wasted £15 just because I wanted a different colour but these things normally cost a rip off £50.

Replacement oscillating bridge components for my Braun 3000s electric razor. The drive pins on the plastic components that engage with the cutter heads eventually wear away and have to be replaced. Fortunately they are readily available, probably indicating that they wear out often.

I looked back and it's just over 3 years since I last replaced them so not too bad at £9.99 delivered.

Bought 15 month Norton 360 Premium (10 devices) from Amazon £19. I know from previous years you activate the new license then support move the time from the new to existing and you get renewal cheaper (there are a few caveats).


This time I had to enter new billing details to activate the new key. Support moved the new key time to old (Oct 2023). Later I get email that Norton have renewed my old key for £95 (Oct 2024).


Back to support to refund. They offer the renewal for £40. I send the link on Amazon for £19. They match it so now good to Dec 2024 for £40 total.


They did explain the difference and I do understand why Amazon can sell that cheaply but the extreme difference to the renewal is less understandable. A feature of the renewal is support in removing viruses and use internationally but should that cost £75.

Probably too late now but i recommend using 3 or 6 months Bitdefender trials(top package) then when it expires do it again.

I use "my method" because it means the license stays the same and I don't have to reactivate on all the devices I have Norton on. I had that issue one year before I knew about the time moving where I put in new key on the renewal day and that was fine but I had to go round all the devices and activate on the key. I currently use 6 of the 10 seats. The VPN is good to get to radio streams no longer available in the UK, use Eire server and it works all fine.
