I guess what I am trying to say is that you would be safer thinking about what colours would go best with whatever colours you can't change in the room(s). Laminates come in a massive range of colours and effects so take some colour swatches with you to a show room. Much better than asking us lot.

Re: What have you just bought?

Four tyres for the Colt CZ1. Not too special: 175/65 R14.

Got them for a very Christian price of £239.96 Balanced, fitted and VAT included.

Local specialist supplier that I always use. They also provide support for local motorsport teams and there's often stacks of slicks and specials in the workshop.

One less thing for the MOT man to fret over on Monday.

Re: What have you just bought?

A Philips Hue Motion Sensor.

Set it up in the kitchen, so when I walk in with hands full they lights turn on and turn off 2 minutes later when I've left.

I just need to tweak the day/night modes and set it so that in the summer the lights wont turn on during the day.

Well, now you mention it


My car is a keyless start, so I'm looking for a decent box to put the keys in?

Do your keys not have motion sensors built in?

Re: What have you just bought?

I just use a layer of aluminium foil which covers the whole of the inside of a nice wooden box.I also did the same with my wallet. It's a lot cheaper and just as effective.

https://emfacademy.com/aluminum-foil-emf-radiation/

Of course other more expensive solutions are widely available.

A new car for SWMBO (the final part of her 40th birthday present)

A nice round trip of 250 ish miles to Grimsby was how I spent my Sunday
