Re: What have you just bought?

Bought a Sony Minidsc recorder walkman off Ebay. Been getting back in to using my old one but it's just a player so couldn't record new discs. Also came with 14 blank discs. The MZ-R900 in blue complete in box with all original accessories.

Amazing how popular MD is still. Some players and hifi systems cost a fortune now.

2 bags of sprouts for us. And they are a decent size this year. I'm glad I got all the veg at Lidl 'cos Aldi had sold out. The Lidl spuds, broccoli and shallots were at 8p too. The caulis were tiny everywhere

I bought some nice milk chocolate to add to the festive hot chocolate drink we have with Stollen. That's a habit I learned during my time in Maastricht.

Re: What have you just bought?

Most of the Christmas food shop, though Tesco shelves were so empty. Couldn't get pigs in blankets, stuffing balls, bacon or potato scones. Back first thing in the morning see if they'll have any out. Christmas breakfast and boxing day dinner stuff.

Re: What have you just bought?

Just been to the farm shop to pick up the cockerel for Boxing Day and duck for the weekend. Ouch! The cockerel is nearly 5kg so came to close to £70. Hope it's worth it.

Ignore this. I just brought a pack with new packaging and recipe which sucks. The old recipe in the red cartons were really nice. Who knows what they have done to these new ones

That cost seems pretty extreme. I had an email last week off Muscle Food offering me a Norfolk Bronze for a tenner. I was dubious but it actually looks really good quality. Proper plump
breasts unlike the Asda one that will be cut and frozen and used to maintain my weight in the new year

Re: What have you just bought?

Blink doorbell camera, I chose that one as it came with an Echo Pop which would have been about £40 altogether but for some reason, Amazon are letting me pay for it at £4 a month which is odd, I don't recall applying for credit. Still, been playing with it last night and this morning and works like a charm.

Re: What have you just bought?

Sonos Sub Mini


Paired this with my two One SL's so a stereo pair and the sub Mini.


Really impressed so far. It allows the OneSL speakers to focus on the mid and treble.
The sub, even in it's small size has a good punch to it, does not over power the sound but gives that bit of more wholesome bass and expands the sound round the room.

Nothing exciting, new pillows and a mattress topper.
