A HP M479FDW printer, with £100 cashback comes to £299 inc VAT. What is annoying is that the DW variant (no fax) was the same price but is now more expensive. Delivered tomorrow and the claims for 3 year support and the cash back will go in PDQ. It is Linux compatible (essential) and does copy/scanning which is something my wife wanted. The fax line won't get used unless really needed.




My current OKI is producing nice magenta pages and the fuser unit shows 1% though it has not done anywhere near the suggested level.

34 inch Alienware Ultrawide OLED Monitor on a stupid offer about £665 direct from Dell. 12 months credit but it has 3 years warranty that extends to burn in

John Lewis are refunding me £200 from the TV(price promise) because it dropped in price for Black Friday, very happy although I did miss out on a free soundbar but I do get a £100 voucher I can likely off load to parents.

Box of Cadburys chocolate fingers.

Been really strict (by “really” I mean “occasionally”) with my diet and miraculously I’ve dropped my body fat % lower than expected.

So I’ve treated myself

I hope it's worth that amount of effort. And I'm not talking about the chocky fingers either. I don't think I'd ever understand that kind of level of control/punishment/logic etc for whatever reason.

Easy, I’m 50 next year and want to stay in better shape than anyone else I know of around my age.

Plus it helps stave off the inevitably of the return of the emotional “dark clouds” I was experiencing that started me off going to the gym 7 years ago.

Oh and I have a massive ego.

The last part of the first sentence was more than enough.

Healthy body for sure, mind... that's your battle. As long as you're happy that's the main thing.

Samsung Q700C soundbar to go with my 55QN95C, hopefully it'll be OK as it's over 50% cheaper than other places.

And an open shelf TV stand to fit all this gear.

Ok I'm done spending now.

That is a really nice TV and soundbar. I don't have any idea what soundbars are like as I use an AV with 5.1 speakers. But the reviews look excellent. Looks nothing like those cheap ones you can get too.

My TV is just a cheap 4k 42" LG one (£400), does what I need and is it great for TV out from PC and hooked up to the AV etc. But I can't fault it at all. But yours at that price it must be unreal compared to something like mine.
