Re: What have you just bought?

A tumble dryer - previous one has just popped it's clogs (it's 17 years old, so can't complain); can't get the parts for the old one, and even if we could, it would cost 2/3rds the cost of a new one.

Happy because I used my Blue Light card, and got 20% off.

I’ll be on the lookout tomorrow for a 1TB NVMe internal SSD and a 34" 21:9 monitor in the Black Friday deals (I’ve got 2 x 24" monitors at the moment, but they’re both about 7 or 8 years old).

I’m looking at these for the 1TB drive, and will research this evening for the monitor.

Quite fancy this for the monitor, but more research underway - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigab...mo-00b-gi.html
I'm a happy bunny - this arrived today (I wasn't expecting it until mid January).

34 inches of gaming goodness.

Re: What have you just bought?

There’s a good deal on Echo Dot 4th Gen with an Amazon Smart Plug on Amazon (don’t forget to use the "smile" prefix to get Amazon to contribute to your choice of charity) at the moment.

I’ve just bought the above for £29.99 - the normal prices are £49.99 and £24.99 (total of £74.98), so that’s a great saving.

Strangely enough, the Echo Dot is the same price with or without the Smart Plug.

Using offers/deals on Amazon, I’ve bought 3 Echo Dot 3rd Gen, 1 Echo Dot 3rd Gen with LED display, an Echo Dot 4th Gen, 2 Amazon Smart Plugs, and 2 Phillips Hue Smart Bulbs, all for under £125.

Do you wear them, watch them, or both?

Just bought a king size weighted blanket, a wallet and shoulder bag.

Many games are released now with numerous (some game breaking) bugs.

What better way to test a game than get the general public to do it, then throw patches out to fix things (Microsoft, we're looking at you too)
