Why do they do that? Especially when it was done before.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A mobility scooter, only 4mph but I feel like I'm going 80, so I'm being very wary probably walking faster to get fro a to b that is if I could stop this dreadful, uncontrolable shaking that's controlling my life. However, got a face to face appointment Tuesday with a Doctor, the 5th Doctor I have seen. By the way I spotted a puzzling entry on my medical record which says Multi Disciplinary meeting, anyone one know what this means?:confused: I have spoken to a girl who used the work at the surgery and she says she has never seen that on anyone elses record:confused::confused: Anyone any ideas?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

My mum bought one and loved it as she could get about better, it had a top speed of 4mph, but she could adjust that, to match our walking pace.


With regards it could mean that they will have more that 1 person checking you over.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

From my time dealing with Clinical Negligence cases I’d agree with this - without knowing all the facts it does sound more like it means different areas of medicine rather than someone being “disciplined” in the traditional sense.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

@Tinky. Not too many Vimtos if your driving sweetie :D <<hugs>>

I had a Multi Disciplinary Team as my different medical conditions needed to be taken into consideration and some medications I took for one condition could have had an adverse reations on my other conditions. Such as when when I was put on a trial drug for my Autoimmune disease. Knowing that my different Consultants and Doctors were all in the loop made me feel more confident in considering my options.

I got 3 boxs of original chocolate Chip cookies today at Target :) (Original recipe Fryhophers made)

A new toilet seat. Getting the old one off was a right ***** !!

However have now properly tested the new one and the job's a good one ;)

Strangely enough that happens in our house, but only when Mrs G uses it so I can only assume she must wiggle!!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I find the problem to be the "feet" that sit on the bowl. They used to be made of hard rubber, so didn't slip sideways very easily. I have one to replace, but as it has nylon "feet" I shall be applying a layer of silicone to their surface. That, and apply silicon oil to all the metal bits, especially the screws that hold the "feet" on.

I have ordered a lanyard thing to hang my smartphone around my neck. Our daughter bought me the phone, but is not amused that it spends 99% of its time in its original box. I need it now, to get a year's worth of free car washes via barcodes sent by email.

A larger cage, Sand Bath and 28cm wheel for my hamster.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

The Mrs is self employed making and selling Sunday dinners (and I’m the idiot who does all the deliveries - driving around with the smell of anything up to 70 Sunday roasts in my car gets me STARVING) and I went with her to the food warehouse today. As I need 200g+ of protein a day chicken is my staple diet every day so I decided to have a look what savings I could make.

Came home with a 5kg pack of chicken breasts for £27 - decent bargain.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Another larger cage, I thought you bought one last week?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Only one cage, he's loving the sand bath and wheel

Tapo smart plugs.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I have loads of Smart Plugs but out of the 3 Apps my plugs use ( Tuya Smart Life and Tapo) the Tapo is down more than the others. Hope your results are better they are still great devices

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I have the KASA Smart plugs, some tell me power usaged

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Tapo with IOS seems to work fine for me. Probably get a problem every 6 months or so but just a case of logging back in to the app. Used mainly for certain lights to come on at sunset.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thought I'd take a risk and order a few bits from https://www.temu.com/uk. Should be here soon, I hope. :D Tracking says package is now in Manchester.

A bunch of meds for our pooch (he’s a 14 year old Dalmatian, with a dicky heart, and who snapped a back leg cruciate ligament about five months ago).

He had his quarterly vet check-up (to check if the drugs are still helping him, no serious side-effects, check if he needs more or can reduce them), so today we paid for the vet’s fee, 3 months worth of Vetimed (for his heart), and three months worth of Gabapentin (300mg).

Ouch…

A 2Kg bag of strong white bread flour. After seeing that supermarket bread, even the seeded wholemeal I had been buying, is considered as ultra processed I'm returning to making my own. I have plenty of brown and wholemeal strong flour but was running out of white.

Made the first loaf on Thursday. I'd forgotten how tasty it is. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Problem with homemade bread, nice though it is, is that it goes stale very quickly. That ultra processing does make it last longer.
My breadmaker now is mostly used for making pizza dough, which is a very worthwhile use :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Good to hear. I've had the Panasonic for years but never tried the dough settings. Will be giving the pizza dough a try next week now. :tu:

Re: What have you just bought?
 

My Mrs sells Sunday dinners and starts her weekly prep on a Thursday and now gets the meat (chicken, beef and pork) on Fridays. After Miss NTL’s competition I asked her about any deals the warehouse has going and they had a pack of 5kg of chicken (about 22 filets) for £25.

As I need around 230 to 240g of protein a day it was perfect - so I bought it. Proper restaurant quality chicken too, not pumped full of water.

I even destroyed 2 filets for lunch today :drool:

Proper ScotchBrite cellulose washing-up sponges with a scouring side. The shops only sell plastic foam ones these days. Ones I bought before covid split in half on first use.

24 from ebay for £14.99.

Yes... TWENTY FOUR.....

Re: What have you just bought?
 

What's wrong with the 6x washing up sponges from Tesco for 75 pence?

Are these what you bought which maybe cheaper for you?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B097HT3G...ogi&th=1&psc=1

Re: What have you just bought?
 

The ones in the supermarket are plastic foam, no good at all. The pack you show is the same, but more expensive.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

For cleaning the hard stuff like the inside of the glass door of the oven I use that Koh solution with their diamond sponges. Nothing else comes remotely close to how that combination works. Makes cleaning really burnt on grease etc glass oven doors really effortless and takes minutes to make like new.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

RAM for the missus' new PC. Ordered from Crucial UK, sent from Czechia and travelled via Ireland to appear at our door this morning via our normal postie. On a Sunday!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

you building from scratch or upgrading?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

There was no option to add extra RAM at purchase, so it came with a miserable 4Gb. Crucial recommended a single 32Gb in the second slot. Maybe Win11 will play nicer with all that memory.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Crucial need a slap then because you will lose out on half the bandwidth of the ram. You should have scrapped the 4GB and went with 2x16GB sticks so you run dual channel and not unbalanced

Unless it only has 1 slot and the 4GB is soldered of course

Re: What have you just bought?
 

No 16Gb sticks available. If it plays up. I'll just pull the 4Gb and add it to my box of memories.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Then personally I would have took the info crucial gave and bought Corsair. It should not play up it just will not run as fast as it can

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Absolutely, should have put a pairs in, I would return the 32gb Taf and do it right.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

My PC has RAM slots in three's. It's a bit old, circa 2012, but runs fine. Now with 18GB RAM (3x2 and 3x4) it copes with what I need it for.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Triple channel extreme edition chip socket LGA 1366. Your miss matched sets will stop it running at triple channel but as you say it is fine

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I was just told that each set of 3 had to match for triple channel but it would work with part sets. I am looking at getting a new PC built soonish so I keep looking around for the best bang for buck components that work together, it's what I did on the current machine. You know, that point where to get more performance costs huge amounts and spending less doesn't save much. Not precious on the CPU but I have kept with nVidia for the GPU. Everything has to work with Linux and I'd like an internal DVD drive which seems to limit case options.

Slippers. I bought a job lot at half price several years back. But I just binned the last of them.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Cracking price. I would not be without smart plugs now. Have loads

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I agree, I have quite a few too, they're good for putting certain lights on automatically at sunset etc. Also good for Alexa to turn on/off lights on command too. All my lights are Hue lights so have full control via Alexa, Siri, iphone, ipad and timed.

I've got a couple of the energy monitoring ones also, they're handy to just get an idea of the power consumption of whatever you plug into them, but they're not needed. Just one is enough to get the info to know how much energy is used for certain things and to change their usages accordingly if needed.

Very good price though. Good find.

I've ordered some from that link for an Xmas present. So thanks for that.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I too have a couple of energy monitoring plugs. I like Alexa routines so one command can turn on or off multiple devices in one go. Especially good first thing in the morning and last thing at night

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Do any of you know if the tapo smart plugs fit/work if plugged into a multi gang trailing socket?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Plugged into, then yes, no problem. Plugging a multi extension into a tapo, not so sure how much they can handle and don't see the point of that anyway.

So yes no probs if plugged into one.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

The P100s are rated 13amp

I can see a point if you have an AV set up plugged into a 4 gang extension and want to power it all up and down off one smart plug

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes, tapo plugged into one of the multi sockets. Thanks.

Only been buying the weekly shop , lately but seriously thinking of starting my Christmas shopping as I just cannot waiting to the last minute

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A Sony UBP-X700 Blu-ray/DVD player. Our old unit was SCART only so wanted one to do HDMI into our new TV. I would have loved something a bit better but at this price a bit better seemed to cost a lot more. I would also have loved a device that played discs superbly, upscaling as needed without all the smart features. (We already have lots of smart.) but is seems that without the smart the disc playback also often suffers.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I've never even played a Blu-ray before and possibly only played 1 DVD, I'm not into collecting and just stream everything since the dawn of Napster back on the dark ages!

Hearing aid supplies (Hooks and tubings - online)... Getting them from the hospital is just a complete pain in the backside and not worth the hassle.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

We have a large collection of DVD's, mostly ex-rental from Blockbuster or offers at the supermarket. Very rarely paid anywhere like full price and they are ours to keep, I don't have to worry about the streamer pulling the titles. Generally they are family films that the story and production are bigger than any suspense so are fine to watch multiple times.

Just renewed mine for another two years - like most subscription services, if you wait until the last couple of days, you get the renewal at new customer price.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Thanks for the heads-up

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Pretty decent little unit and plays 4K discs as well. Got mine a few years ago so probably paid a fair bit more for it.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Having some fun with "partial subtitles". Those bits of a film not in English without an interpreter, e.g. StarWars - Jabba the Hutt scenes. To get the subtitles I have to go to the menu (Subtitle button is blocked), turn on and off English subtitles. Then I just get them where film needs them.
Else it's producing a nice picture. It's a bit unnerving the detail and colour on first viewing compared to what we had before. And this is just DVD.

Top of the range 55in QLED TV, did my research and decided I didn't want an OLED due to the hassles with screen burn, banding and 30 FPS content being far worse than on a QLED as I suffer from motion sickness in gaming as well as I never use the TV in a dark room which OLEDs are better suited to.

10 meter Led strip light off TikTok shop and a Dish drainer very cheap as a new customer. Lights come and work great Drainer is coming from the continent.

Ok TikTok shop has a lot of tat but some of the stuff looks ok.
I did find out though that you only a get a good price as a new customer. Now here is a work around for that. Just log out of TikTok clean cache then data and open tiktok again. Log in using a facebook account (if you already used this just make a dummy facebook for now) then you become a new TikTok shop customer again and get the good prices. You could by endless air fryers for a tenner each if you wanted too ( until they catch on they are all going to the same address hahaha )
Just done the above to buy a viral Spaceman projector to help me sleep same one is over twice the price on amazon.
If anything catches my eye again I will do it again

RTX 4070TI on Ebuyers Ebay page 12 months credit. Chances are it is an incorrect advert as it is down at £629 this is an £800 + card. Had to take a punt. I have messaged and added a note that if it is wrong as I suspect and a RTX 4070 standard that I want to cancel

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Google luck I don't think I would have messaged them as the pic says TI as well as the text, it is more likely just a miss price.

Even the MPN number GV-N407TEAGLE OC-12GD says it's a TI.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

But the description says 4070. It is despatched already

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Is this it? As it all says TI here unless I've missed something.

What does your email say?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296008727...Bk9SR5D989ztYg

Edit I see at the bottom it says 4070 lol, that will catch alot of people out.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

yeah but it is all down to what they ship. As I say I put a note on saying I wanted the TI and not the standard and in message so they can not argue really. It is their fault

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Got an update on this?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A mini vac.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yeah they sent a 4070 so I kicked up a stink on Facebook so they sorted me a pick up for Monday and have refunded me already hahah
