I didn't want to be that overt. :angel:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Intel i7-7700K CPU, 8gigs of DDR4 and some Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste...
Not for me, sadly, but the fiancee will love it.

Replaces an i5-2500K that's been overclocked for 6 years or so.

Joins a 1070Ti, an Asus mobo, and another 8gigs of the same make/model DDR4, among a ton of SSDs and such. (and a Kraken x62 water cooler).

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Urgh, a whole load of everything from the local fair at my daughter's new school...everything from cotton candy to school uniform / jewellery...I still have to post pictures of my jewellery from Switzerland which I haven't forgotten about / will get round to in a bit.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Cheese, cheese, and more cheese plus plenty of wine, two bottles of Moët & Chandon, beer and a bottle of pink gin.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Some big plant pots, so I can re-pot my cacti

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Cheese is one of my weaknesses weenie as l love these food markets where you can buy ones which are not widespread across the country.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Goes straight on the hips. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

As you know den my family is also big on cheese and tbh it's a easy and enjoyable night for me and hubby. No fluffing around baking, cooking, making sandwiches etc just lay the cheese, crackers and oatcakes out 30-40 minutes before calling everyone through to eat.

What I like about our cheese and wine nights is it's totally stress-free, very little mess and dishes to clean afterwards, and the big bonus is the kitchen remains relatively clean and tidy.

Afterwards, we can all retire into the living room and enjoy good conversation with our chosen drink.

Job done and everyone is happy :) The jobs a good one as hubby would say.

Hi Nash, I had a trial of our new Gtec cordless pole hedge trimmer, it's supposed to be lightweight, but I was tired out after only 5 minutes, but maybe I'm just a weakling :D. What little I did manage to do was to my liking. :):):)

I last got a cassette in the mail I ordered :)

Metallica - And justice for all

This is a poland release and they left off 1 song... I dunno if they didnt like it or what... "To live is to die" is not there.......

No Dolby which is nice....... Sounds just like the record so its 100% analogue sourced on the tape :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

2 pairs of slippers, 1 pair of shoes and a nice top. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Shade cloth for the greenhouse. 30p per sq m, so less than a third normal price.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

We just bought the Bosch corded one at £52 from B&Q and got 10% off being a Wednesday, Hubby used it yesterday and he is delighted with it, a lot lighter than the old one and the cut is lovely, Thanks ;)

A garden Chimenea in the hope that this will help keep the midges away.

Chimenea, Chimenea, chim, chim, charoo....

Hope it works for you Weenie ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

So do I Nash as last night I has to come in due to them eating me alive lol

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Ordered a Redmi Note 5 this morning as dropped my old phone at the weekend and a rug that's almost the same size as the living room. Had wooden flooring done last year as she didn't want a carpet but apparently now a rug that covers practically the whole thing will "make the room cosier and people will still see the nice flooring around the edges". I have no words.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

That will be nice ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

5 Kg bag of charcoal briquettes in Lidl this morning for £2.99

Planning to BBQ tomorrow afternoon. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Small rug, slippers and shoes for Mr T, paint, paint brushes, nibbles, Phostrogen, nails, 5 bottles of wine, bottle of Cava, carpet cleaner. @ Den I've still got some room in the shed! :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

l love the excuse which reminds me of my Mum that there are two pairs of footwear for Mr T so as to not feel so guilty yourself when the next shoes for Tinky arrive sometime soon in the Tinky household.:D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A nice blouse from M & S

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Bought some Espadrilles for myself from ASOS but even size 11 are too small or rather tight over the instep - will try a 12.

A Birthday Cake for a double celebration for two of my friends ,

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Starting to buy things for my eldest son and his fiancée and since I know just how much my son loves coffee and how my future daughter in law loves hot chocolate I bought them this plus it was a really good price with a £70.00 saving, oh how I love a bargain :) https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/househ...81052-pdt.html

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Congratulations to you both Stephen!


I've decided to give a corner of our garden a makeover so we've bought 10 bags of shingle, and 3x1 meter edging stones. The garage is next so I've bought a new unit of steel shelving, still for me to assemble yet. Off now to paint the side of the house. :)

PlayStation VR starter pack with 3 free games and 2 move controllers, as I borrowed it last weekend and thought it was so much fun playing some rollercoaster zombie game, and I didn't get motion sickness.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A litre bottle of Courvoisier for the old man, £7 off in Tesco.:)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Button (battery) cell multi-pack in Lidl: 8xCR2032, 4xCR2016, and 12 more assorted smaller ones for £2.99

These things are normally stupid price. I need one CR2032 for the bathroom scales and one LR44 for my digital vernier gauge at the moment and they together would have cost more than £2.99 so the rest are effectively free. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

My laser gun sight uses the cr2032 as does my kitchen scales .i usually buy from ebay .
as you say they are usually a stupid price .

Re: What have you just bought?

3 Pierre Cardin tropical print T-shirts for £12. Sports Direct, delivery later this week.

Lefthand and two right hand in picture.

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...0&d=1533550311

I particularly like the white one. With the hot weather I've been wearing some of my light weight Hawaiian shirts so I think I'll take a look at getting several more. Seen a number of really nice prints. :)

Attachment 27490

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A lovely pair of wedge sandals size 3 from The Woolen Mill in Gretna outlet store, for £17 50 should have been £25". I was lucky to get a size 3.

Just getting the final bits and bobs for my youngest starting back school on Thursday.

Just bought my final item for my darling youngest as he is extremely fussy on what pens he uses, I managed to find a good deal IMO.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pentel-Supe...mium+ballpoint

Honestly, he only uses certain pens, highlighters, etc and nothing else seems to do as he say's that these pens keep his work looking neat and tidy as they apparently write neat :confused:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

15 cans of Tennants Lager and a bottle of wine for hubby

Case of Rioja Reserva from Sunday Times, just over a fiver a bottle

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Finally got round to buying a new bath shower screen as IMO our current bi-fold one has seen better day's plus I'm hoping that this one will be easier to clean.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I'd get some taps as well, if I were you...

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Nice red pattern blouse from M & S

Image downsized as it was too big for most screens.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Me too... :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Sorry about the snafu of posting it inline using the WYSIWYG editor but I can't do it without that - but when it pastes the image it looks ridiculously big, too.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Beautiful shoes ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thank you darlin'. They only had one left in a size 6 so I got it and even though I am ordinarily a 6 they felt a little loose. They have one left in a 5 and they did throw me another voucher but I am not sure if I will get it or not.

I have bought maybe 30 to 40 other pairs in the last 3 months or so, so I might post some of them but then sadly the bandwidth on the site will break and the I will be known as the Amelda Marcos / dictating queen of the site.

/Eek

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I feel left out as I haven't bought any severed legs with shoes still attached

Re: What have you just bought?
 

This and that at B&M's this morning before the madding crowd come in..

Re: What have you just bought?
 

4kg of Miracle-Gro, £3 down from £4 per kg in Tesco. All the big names stripped their shelves of gardening stuff last week, so early that I missed the end-of-season reductions apart from this one.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Last time we met up, you were legless... :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

That night was...... Leg-end-ary.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I have to agree, it was rather enjoyable - what I can remember of it... :D

https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2018/08/7.gif

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Lol, you ass. :p

No, I was going to say, those definitely are not my legs - apparently mine are better. (A lot better lol, and longer).

Nah it was just the easiest way to get an image of them without using the attachment settings as the pictures have to be so small. Using the C&P format only works with the Wsgy editor but you have to take the off sets with the bugs in it / messes the spacing issues up so I'll toggle back and fro with what I bought - hopefully the re-sizing will not be too much of an issue.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Who? me? :angel:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Lol, no...never. I mean with a name like "love monkey" lol...

Notice that posted a "women for money" under your services....wonder how much I would get? /rasp

This is getting pretty OT though so I figure I better stop only out of the both of us, I know which one Hugh will end up spanking. :p

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I'd actually forgotten that was there - that was from when I was far less mature than I am now....

Yeah, he's always tempted to spank me; when I met him I had to placate him with alcohol and cooked meat to avoid one.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Oh trust me, if it was a choice between me and you, it'd definitely be me he spanked. Not because I am hot / cute and good looking (though that doesn't hurt, I am sure lol) but because he would finally be able to discipline someone from my side of the roses ; his people / side have always been on the losing end, so this would be a win for him, lol. (Ha, I am going to go and hide now...)

A 2ft disability litter picking tool for the old man.

Extractor fan for bathroom and MR16 lights.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

New foil and cutter block for both my Braun electric razors off ebay. The older one (1508) the foil has gone and my newer one (3 series) one of the foil carriers keeps popping out. I think a bit of plastic has come away somewhere.

I already fixed this once when a plastic pillar broke inside that locates the foil carrier. Hopefully a new one will fix the issue.

£26 odd for both together with free postage. I can be patient.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

In a lot of discomfort atm with mouth ulcers and gum inflammation and tbh I have never been in such discomfort before as the Hydrocortisone buccal tablets that my GP prescribed usually work fantastic when used alongside Corsodyl mouthwash but for some reason, this time around I'm just not getting the results.

Anyway, I called my dentist and he recommended Gengigel but I would need to ask the Pharmacist if both can be used together needless to say I went straight to Boots and the good news is I can use this gel 30 minutes after my prescribed medication I just need to make sure that the tablet is fully dissolved before applying the gel needless to say I bought it came home and applied it immediately and it has eased the discomfort slightly I'm pleased to say :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

More fine Italian and German meats than my belly can handle.

Brunswick Ham, Parma Ham (prosciutto), glazed and smoke turkey (that one may not be Italian), Iberian Ham, some glazed ham, carvery turkey (sliced), a mix of olives, hot peppers with garlic and cloves, some roasted peppers with mozzarella in them and some fresh quiche.

I left the bologna ; I would have put this in the "what did you eat" thread, but I don't plan on inflating helium style anytime soon.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Hope you get better of this soon Weenie

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Which wall are you talking about as there are 4 walls in our main room so there is quite a choice.;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Just bought a Samsung 27" 144Hz 1ms monitor.

Huawei P20 Pro Twilight. What a fantastic phone.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Bits for my computer upgrade, beginning with a LGA1155 motherboard in a pile of junk and ending with a GTX1060 and a 16GB RAM kit
originally going to re-use my 8GB kit and GTX750Ti, but with the pretty much top 1155 CPU, decided it needed more to stretch it's legs and give a degree of future proofing

Nothing exciting !

We've just adopted a 2yr Lurcher from Dog's Trust so
Collar, harness, car adaptor, leads (training and extendable), 15kg food, treats, bed, toys, fencing (little tyke can jump close to 1.8m).

I think there is some Great Dane in him, he is really tall, can easily eat of the table standing on all fours. That's our biggest challenge - teaching him that food not in his bowl isn't his. He is house trained though and good on lead.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Hope you enjoy your new addition to the household, Good Luck ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Wife has now decided she doesn't like dogs. He is a lovely animal but yesterday he nearly pulled our daughter over (she's not tiny) and is so much work. We have to keep him tied to something in different rooms just to prepare food and eat.

It's a pain on finances and us and the dog. I'd have rather not started but daughter has wanted a dog for 10 years so when bunnies died wife said we could have dog. The Trust pressured a bit with a limit of 7 days to make our minds on this dog who was and mostly is good on the lead and around people but it's our choice in the end.

I know it seems like we are a bit fickle but the background of dogs and daughter is too complex to discuss here and the dog really doesn't fit very well to our house.
