A couple of vinyl records to add to my collection.

The Beatles Abbey Road and the White Album. Both are the recent remaster for the anniversary editions.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I hope your house is detatched :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Nope, not planning on blasting sound out I just want better speech as modern TV speakers are rubbish which are not good for my hearing aids.

Speakers won't be on the neighbours wall.

An AKAI Pro Fire MIDI Controller for FL Studio.

I shall be "getting down with it" as soon as I get my hands on it. :cool:

Clippers and hair scissors for DIY. Don't care what I look like at work as there are only two of us at present, and a cycling helmet for everywhere else!
I'm going for a chic pixie look, which means I'll end up looking like a moth-eaten hobo.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Well i currently look like worzel gummidge.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Aah bless. We should all post lockdown hair-do pics and have a virtual prize for the worst!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

What is wrong with that.:D

At last, collected my Nissan Leaf e+ Tekna which had been in self-isolation at the dealership since the lockdown

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Pair of gold-rimmed blue-lens Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses as an early birthday present to myself as my employer gave everyone a bonus for keeping the company going whilst WFH.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Nice!!!!, SWMBO has Aviators, always liked them BUT i can't wear them. I just look 'wrong'

Re: What have you just bought?
 

With a face like this I look 'wrong' no matter what I wear, I'm used to elderly ladies crossing the road rather than pass me by on the street. Just figured I may as well look slightly affluent as I scare them :erm: :D

The first time I met you in person you immediately did me your impression of Silas the insane monk from the Da Vinci Code. So maybe stop doing that ... :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A Garmin Forerunner 45 watch for my son's birthday (which is in September, but he can have it now as an early present, as his FitBit is broken).

Really happy with the price - normally £149.99 on the Garmin website (or £139 on Currys and other sites), I got it for £112.49 using the Defence Discount Services website link.

Bargain.

Dalwhinnie 15 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Is that to quieten him down Jo.:D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Didn't they have any new whisky in the shop:)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

:D

It's for my Beloved who seems to be nursing a bad back for some reason and hopefully once he's had a few tots I can get back into his good graces.

Personally I hate the stuff and only drink it with hot water and honey when I have a sore throat.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

New laptop battery

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I hope you use a blended whisky for that purpose, otherwise, I may have to come and give you a sound talking to (and perhaps sample the 15yo Dalwhinnie at the same time... :D ).

Re: What have you just bought?
 

The Mrs fell for one of those JML “infomercials” for the vacuum bags that you can store clothes in. Out came my wallet and they arrived this morning. Not bad (although not worth £30) but they work even better if you stand on the bag to help flatten it as the little vacuum motor does its thing.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Rubber gloves and reusable Face Mask

Re: What have you just bought?
 

If anyone wants to buy some PPE and water free hand sanitizer then this site always has stock, ive used it without issue and it is UK based.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

+1 used them based on your previous recommendation. No issues and very good service.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A new 500W power supply for my desktop PC from Amazon. Bog standard unit at £25. Doesn't have quite the mix of connectors as the old one but will do the job.

At the moment I have some Molex to SATA power lead adaptors for the hard drives, the new unit has 4 SATA connectors as standard plus 2 Molex.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Upgraded from my 8 Plus to an iPhone 11. I have the series 4 watch as well as the AirPods so I thought why the hell not.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

An Aqualisa Quartz Digital Shower Concealed (Gravity Pumped) - the previous one (10 years old) just borked itself this morning - amazingly, buying it from a retailer was £250 cheaper than from the manufacturer.

It gets delivered Saturday, fitted Monday.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A George Foreman grill.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Just bought a new Parker Fountain Pen with my name engraved on it.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Can't beat a fountain pen.

I still use the Parker 25 fountain pen I bought a school in 1981/2, I since bought another 2.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

If someone is left handed fountain pens maybe useless as each lefty writes in a way best for them.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I've never gotten on with fountain pens, I end up smudging what I'm writing as I'm a leftie as well

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I hated writing in school, they always gave me a pen that smudged. I also hold a pen weird. Easier for me to just buy a decent ball point pen when needed.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A single .011 plain guitar string to replace the one that broke while fitting - my fault entirely.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Just ordered a couple of Lego sets.

Lego creator expert Ford mustang 10265
Ideas Steamboat Willie 21317

Should keep me busy for a while.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

And of course, now that's been installed, SWMBO wants the shower screen, bath siding, bath waste fitting, and the bathroom sink mono mixer tap replaced - just ordered them now.

On a happier note, my dearest darling had a bee in her bonnet about our front door needing replacing, and if we were doing that, we might as well(?) replace the inner porch door (what used to be the front door before the porch was built 10 years ago) - the guy who does that sort of work around our house (I'm mostly useless with that sort of thing, and we've used him for over 20 years) had an inspection, and can re-hang the front door so it aligns better (the porch had settled over 10 years, and the front door was slightly misaligned).

That saved me around £3k - he'll be getting a case of beer on top of what he bills us... :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

SWMBO has today announced she want's the downstairs cloakroom & the master bathroom redoing... :erm:

Meanwhile, recent purchases...

AutoGlym Polar Blast and Polar Wash (both 2.5l) and reduced to £11 each on Amazon

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A Air Fryer for a member of our family and 2 pen pots for me.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A black face mask from a UK company so won't have to wait a month!

I bought a couple of Adidas ones last week and they arrived within 2 days.

A replay long sleeve t shirt and replay shirt from zalando (both heavily discounted, would certainly not have paid full price for them)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Fence paint.

A small tub of Sainsbury's Taste The Difference salted caramel and honeycomb ice cream. Just suddenly got a desire for some decadent dessert for tonight. :drool:

My last luxury for a while.


I bought an Amazon Echo Auto.

Couple of sata DVD RW drives to refurb my tower case.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Did you buy it from Amazon as there are offers on their devices for today only.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes, I saw that.

Bought a Fire Stick at half price, and a refurbed 28" TV (LG 28TL510V from RicherSounds via Amazon) for our bedroom (current one is over 12 years old, 19" with a built in DVD player).

TV was £129, Fire Stick £19.99 = 28" smart(ish) HD (720p) TV instead of a 19" SD TV for under £150 - result.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

New windscreen wipers -local Hyundai dealership £78 Fitted
Ebay £6.19 fit em yourself.
Another win for Ebay:)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A year’s subscription (online) to the Washington Post - bargain at $29.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I paid £40 on Amazon.

The only bug is it doesn't play music on the phone and connects to the cars stereo, so you can only stream music.

I will try and disconnect the phone from the car and this will force Echo to use phones speaker.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I would of recommended the 4K stick for £40 it has a better processor than the other, even if using with a non 4K TV the difference is night and day.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I have one already in one of the other bedrooms, so I’ll be using that one, and the new one can go into that TV for occasional use by people who stop over (when we can again).

Watches and Shoes with you then, do you have anymore weaknesses? :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I couldn't possibly answer that on public forum. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Technically I bought it a couple of weeks ago...

A used Ubiquiti AP-AC LR access point from eBay to fix my WiFi.

It's made a world of a difference compared to using the Virgin SuperHub along with a TP-Link Access Point.

I get the impression this enterprise-grade gear is so much better and more reliable than the consumer crap most people use for home WiFi. I'd recommend it if you don't mind getting your hands slightly more dirty than you would setting up most consumer WiFi gear.

Just bought the Star Trek The Next Generation Box Set for myself from Fathers Day money.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

a Delta Mckenzie Wedgie Bag Target. It's a bag style archery target (about 60cmx60cm) that is wedge shaped so it can sit on the floor. Now I can shoot where ever I can safely set it down and keep form up. Even when club reopens I can practice outside our single session a week. For £80 including postage it's cheaper than alternatives that would need a stand and it sits low to ground so less chance of losing arrows as aiming downwards.

A new tablet to replace my aging Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.

Fitbit Charge 3 - my Charge 2 has crapped out on me after two and half years; I think the rain got into it (the 3 is waterproof).

Twelve months car tax for £125.

The insurance renewal reduced price has all but paid for this. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Skoda Kodiaq SE L 1.5 TSI DSG, and rear-view camera and space saver wheel added to the standard spec - managed to get £5,350 of the list price.

A pack of 5 white washable face masks from a UK company. Bad enough we'll have to wear masks from the 24th to go shopping but I don't want disposables adding to all the plastic on the planet. :angel:

3m HDMI lead. I'm using VM's TVgo on the laptop to drive the HD ready TV in the kitchen as the V6 has no SCART to drive the modulator, but only have a 2m lead and it's a bit short.

A plus is that HD channels look better. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Angel Body lotion as it is my favourite and ran out f it.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Disposable face masks - prices already starting to rise. That way I can put some in glove box, pocket etc so can slip one on as required and not having to go home to fetch a more substantial one. Not going to wear where not required.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yeah they have doubled in price from just a few days ago.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I find the most comfortable mask I've used is the N95 medical mask sold by ukmeds, tried their black one and it doesn't fit well and makes glasses steam up!

Luckily I only wear a mask in Tesco.

A load of long micro-USB charging cables so my kids could run their phones forever while on a long road trip from the power point in the boot. Then two of them got iPhones. So now, a load of lightning cables :cry:
