Fish and chips at the pub for me and the boys. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Enjoy :drool:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thanks yes it was lovely weenie. No pickled onions but loads of tartar sauce and the batter was as crispy as it could possibly have been. Not bad for a special offer price of £3.99 each... Must do it more often. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I love a plate of well made Fish & Chips

Re: What have you just bought?
 

What a bargain! :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes highly recommended. If you have a Wetherspoon pub near you give it a try - the food at ours is always excellent and the prices very reasonable. If you like tea/coffee, they're doing free refills all day now for £1.20.

Taking my eldest out tonight as it's one of the few evenings I get to see him these days. :drunk:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I was going to buy my Xmas beer (4 cases = 96 cans = £96) but the Polish shop guy insisted I should buy all his stock (6 cases = 144 = £144).

He had been "raided" by Police and Customs and asked how much his beers were. So he told them the price he sells them to the local alkies for, between £1.80 and £2.40.

From next delivery, all receipts must be kept and copied to Customs. So the beer I normally buy is going up from a discounted price of £1 a can to £2.40!!! That's about the same price as Carlsberg Special Brew in UK supermarkets.

And it's more than the Minimum Unit Price the Welsh government want to bring in.

:(:(:(:(

Judging from our last credit card bill we've just bought Amazon's CEO a new car.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I know how you feel tweetiepooh, we do tend to spend a lot especially at this time of year. Sometimes I feel it was better when we just used cash then there was no surprises when we looked at our statements.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A few offers popped up on my Amazon account over the past month, £6 account voucher for buying a £30 gift card, free £5 for topping up the wallet by £25 etc so managed to use them today and buy an Echo Dot for £17.99.

British gas are giving away Hive smart lights + hub at the moment so the Dot will go nicely with them :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A new pinch roller (£2.85 Ebay) to help in re-furbishing my Akai GXC-38D cassette deck. It'll need slight fettling to fit as it's not an exact Akai part but it's close enough.

I'll also need a suitable main belt as it's got a kink in it from having not been used for some time.

I'll have to bring the electronics up gently to allow the capacitors to re-form. I may need to replace them. All the switches and sliders will need the magic engineers' spray. Be nice to have a vintage bit of kit working again.:)

Attachment 27157

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Blimey I remember those from the days when Akai wasn't a very decent hi-fi brand.

Hope this is going in the what have you fixed lately thread... ;) :tu:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Akai tape decks had a good name, don't know about the rest. I also have the reel-to-reel DS4000. (Dolby @ 7 1/2 inches / sec was always decent) This always looks good with the metal spools.

Likely.

Want these back to be able to play some classic recordings from The Old Grey Whistle Test and Sounds of the Seventies including some live concerts

Beer for Hubby,

Re: What have you just bought?
 

already got one. Just needed a boxset in 4K to test it. Luckily the Xbox One X has a 4K blu Ray player 🙂

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Have they fixed the issues with the Xbox One X UHD player as it was proved to be really terrible compared to the Xbox One S or other UHD players, i think it needed a software update?

Looks like it maybe fixed or have 1 soon.

Bought, or more accurately redeemed the mortgage on my house using some of my inheritance with a CHAPS transfer at the bank this morning. I will officially own the freehold. YAY! :hyper::hyper:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

welcome to the club :tu:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Great

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Congratulations!

I agree - it’s a great feeling. :)

We paid ours off mid-2011, by mainly not reducing payments if the interest rates went down, then with a final payment at the end; we paid off a 25 year mortgage in 18 years.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thanks Hugh and my friends. Operation "Get the barstewards off my back" is in full swing. :)

Definitely the smart move with interest rates at historical lows. :tu:

A new car. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Electric l gather.;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

We should pay off ours in 2019 provided the endowments don't really fail. One is now green lettered the the other is red but we've reduced the sum owed by over 30k so they really would need to lose everything. We are currently on a fixed rate until 2019 so are in the group wanting interest rate rises to help our savings.

Now stocked up for the Christmas festivities - 44 bottles of red, 29 bottles of white, 14 bottles of Rose, 28 bottles of Champagne, 12 Prosecco, various bottles of Whisky and Cognac, and around 60 beers and lagers.

That should keep us going until after the New Year.... :D
