(actually, I bought two, as there was a half-price offer on...)
When it arrived, there was an extra 50ml miniature in one* of the boxes - result!

*the other box is still sealed, as it will be a gift for a relative who also likes single malts.

Re: What have you just bought?

Hoping to buy a new mattress. I've been looking at a Simba or Emma. Simba is looking better but more pricey.

We looked at those and also rem-fit and Otty

Picked up a refurbed otty from the manufacturer on eBay for just under £200

Great mattress and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a mattress on the firmer side

Re: What have you just bought?

Just bought my first ever Soundbar/Sub for £120 from Amazon Italy, seemed like a bargain as the UK price is £250, hopefully it won't be too big and will sound ok on voice.

We have bought a few things before from Amazon America as they are so much cheaper over there then they are in Blighty.

Re: What have you just bought?

If it's electrical and from the USA make sure it's suitable for use on our mains ~230vac

Most electronics is universal (100 - 240vac) these days but other things may not be.

Google Translate should turn it from Italian into English for you SnoopZ.

Re: What have you just bought?

If someone in the know can tell me the best way to connect it up for use with a PS4 Pro, Amazon Firestick and Virginbox that would be great as i am clueless if i can do it with just one cable from the Soundbar to the KS9000 TV, the model is HW-R450.

edit

I'm guessing probably a Digital Optical Cable is the way to go?
