Re: What have you just bought?
Mobile phone cycle mount and a Honor X6b phone to use as a cycling computer. So far just using the GPS as a speedo but come summer I will be using it for mapping my ride and route planning.

Re: What have you just bought?
A handful of B&M’s own brand of pre workout drinks. I’d previously spent loads on more mainstream pre-workout powders etc along with a can of Monster or whatever but noticed over the past few months I was no longer getting and maintaining that “pump” after training that my old stuff used to give me.
Mrs Russ persuaded me to try B&M’s version which I knew was pointless as there’s no way it was going to compare with the big brand version but DAYM I was wrong.
About £1.50 cheaper altogether but would get me buzzing my tits off by the time I’d get to the gym, I’d be lifting with ridiculous enthusiasm and the pump would stay with me for most of the day.
Definitely a convert now and bought a 6 pack of them tonight.

Re: What have you just bought?
A new keyboard to replace my much loved relic. (Musical type). So many updates and changes - all good though. Going to be quite a steep learning curve.

A birthday card for my sister from Moonpig. My back is a problem at the moment so getting one online is handy.

Re: What have you just bought?
2 spray packs of Demon Shine from Halfords. They normally charge about £8, but today it was £4.50 each. It's a quick and easy way to keep a shine on the car bodywork.

Re: What have you just bought?
A 5-speed desktop USB mini fan for work. The office is great, but as air conditioning is "sexist" (apparently, women feel the cold more), it rarely keeps me cool. This should do the job nicely.

Re: What have you just bought?
I can't find the exact model. My mum has a desk metal fan which packs a punch even at the low setting.

I've always wondered whether the blades get hot

Re: What have you just bought?
New System Boiler for May installation, will be interesting to see how much more efficient it is compared to my old 28 year boiler.

Typcially, a 30 year old boiler can’t vary its gas consumption. It’s either on or off. A modern boiler on the other hand will begin to reduce the amount of gas it burns as it detects the water coming up to desired temperature. They also do the heat exchange more efficiently. You will save money on your gas bill.

Right on both counts 
All the Amazon reviews said it works well and for long periods without feeling like it’s about to crap out so I’m confident it’ll do its job how I need it.
As for being hot…well yeah! But not necessarily THAT way. I seem to run at a higher temperature than my colleagues. They’re usually wearing jumpers, hoodies etc in the office while I’m there in t-shirt and shorts, still complaining how warm it is
