Re: What have you just bought?
I have a cheap eBay £70 double mattress that I placed below a £28 bed story mattress topper. It does the job. My head spun when looking for a new mattress last year so I just tried to make the most of a really poo position.

Re: What have you just bought?
Apple Watch 10, to replace my creaking old series 7. And this is the cellular version unlike the GPS-only one I currently have.

Our Hypnos was well into 4 figures too but it's wonderful and has a 10 year warranty. If you want expensive (without gold plate) check out Vispring where 5 figures are the order of the day but some have 20 year warranties.

We looked at both Hypnos and Vispring and ultimately chose Vispring ?aware Hypnos has a royal warrant) we went for what I think is the entry level Vispring model (the elite) and it has a thirty year warranty on it.
Other purchases new trainers, toaster , smart fused spur socket

Re: What have you just bought?
Back again about my Apple Watch 10. To quote Port Talbot parlance, I f***ing loves it mun!
I was always happy with my series 7 for about 3 years. Was always a pain in the arse being the GPS version only but my 10 is cellular too which works really well. The screen is nicely bigger and much more vivid.
This time last year I toyed with a Samsung s23 Ultra and a Galaxy watch 5 but the watch was buggy as hell. I use my Apple Watch to pay for things contactless but the galaxy watch would only do it about 6 times out of 10. The fact the Apple Watch did it each time was the deal breaker.
So yeah, well happy with my series 10.

Re: What have you just bought?
A pair of rear surround speakers to go with the soundbar/subwoofer I bought last month. I’ve been so impressed with the rig I’m now regretting not splashing out a bit more to get the set that included the rear speakers. But to be honest, Missus needed some time to get used to the idea of speakers all over the place, and now she is, she (hopefully) won’t notice a couple of little extra ones.

When my dad died last year I took over the house and need a new bed.
The Ottoman bed & mattress set me back £900, I did see one mattress going for £2,700
