The larger basket does look a bit more of a use overall. And the be able to split into two if and when needed is quite handy.

I am looking to replace my older version Ninja (AG551UK) but it's one of the earlier versions that can grill. And to cook steaks etc in it they do comes out great. But seems I'll have to make a choice of just an air fryer and maybe buy the separate grill version to get the best of both worlds. But I do lack storage space so not sure what to do at the mo.

There’s only two of us at home - after research, we decided this would work for us…

I've got a Specsavers free eye test coupon from work, so hoping I don't have issues when I use it along with free corporate safety glasses.

Glasses have always been fine but this would be a first getting an eye test there, I've not had an eye test in over a decade and the only reason I'm doing it is it's free and my current safety glasses are falling apart and have chemical damage on the lenses.

Enquire what is included in the free test. There might be upgrades

We do not, we have the Ninja, with them stacked one above the other, and dont have any issues.

Catching up on some work in my office upstairs

‘You know when we went to Thailand in January?’

‘Yes…..’

‘I’ve booked for us to go next January’

So, by proxy it would appear I’ve just bought a holiday ??

I went to buy Impatiens plug plants at a local store. As I was sorting through the dried and wind-blasted plants, a manager came out. "They're all for the bin, so take as many as you like for free".

60 free plants, a saving of £12. 40 for me, 20 for an aged neighbour who can't cope with her garden anymore. I'll plant them all tomorrow morning.

Whilst I was there I bought a loaf for the missus as our son binned half a loaf this afternoon, thinking it was mouldy. It was just flour on the crust.

Replacement (2nd) fan for my PC, the current one has basically given up.
They apparenly have an expected life of about 4 years, and its 5 years old now.
PC is only running 2ºC warmer atm, so not bad.

A Canon laser printer/scanner. The toner is eye-wateringly expensive but per page it’s cheaper than inkjet and Mrs is printing a *lot* of stuff lately.

I bought a colour laser last year. First thing I do when I shop is make sure I can get 3rd party inks/toners. I bought a brother and a full set of 3rd party toners is £35 . I had a Brother mono before this and got 4 black toners for 6quid and they were fine. Also I make sure you can get 3rd party drums too because you will find that will sting when you need to replace them too

Don't cheap inks block the nozzle or is it the climate that dries up the nozzle?
