Re: What have you just bought?
A second hand Google Pixel 6 Pro 256GB. I've lost the value unless I sell it now which I'm not doing. With Google updates ending next year you'd probably be asking why I brought it. Firstly it's a secondary device. Secondly I always wanted one. Third I paid just under £150 for it. I'm chuffed with it though, it's been well looked after

Doesn't really make financial sense when I thought you had a Google 9 Pro XL. My secondary devices are always my old phones gathering dust in a drawer and I still never have a need to use them.

It doesn't make financial sense 
I was using my OnePlus 9 Pro as a secondary device but I didn't like the support they offer. Updates are wishful thinking. Recycling have offered me around £50 for it. Prior to that I had a Xiaomi Mi4C which developed display issues, random touch points, weird but it was a fun 4G device running custom ROMs.

Re: What have you just bought?
3 Parker Jotter fountain Pens to be exclusively used at work, that brings mine collection up to 31.
I also managed to convert 3 of the 4 people I work with to use fountain pens.

It would be impossible to convert me being left handed, we lefties have our own styles to avoid smudging so in my case my hand is above the written text.

Re: What have you just bought?
A spudger to replace one that vanished after around 30 years.

I have a Dacia Spring, which is the cheapest ‘full size’ small electric car on the market. It’s cheap as chips but great value as long as you really don’t ever need to go out of town in it.

Just to follow this up … the car lost 1% of its charge in the fortnight it sat on the drive during our holiday. It went from 89% to 88%, which in a tiny Dacia Spring equates to a little over one mile of range.

Re: What have you just bought?
A battery-powered lawn mower. I’ve been skeptical of them for years, with their high prices and low run-time, but things seem to be improving.
I bought a Bosch Universal Rotak 550, with dual 18v 4w/h batteries.

I bought a Bosch and for me a battery powered lawn mower was a game changer, so much easier to quickly do a cut.

Re: What have you just bought?
Yeah, I gave it a test run yesterday when I got it assembled, and I did front and back in less than half the time. Admittedly it was only 5 days after its last cut so front and back didn’t even fill a whole grass box, but still. My last experience of being untethered was at my old house where the garden was large and rough and needed a petrol mower to get it done. I used to have to allow a couple of hours for that, and time afterwards for a shower, as it was seriously heavy work. This was a breeze. I’m really happy with it. The only minor niggle is that it requires 2 charged batteries but they supplied a charger that only does one battery at a time (and apparently they don’t even make one that can charge two at once). Looks like I’m going to have to buy a second charger so I don’t have to keep one eye on the recharge to swap them over.
