I always use Google maps on a smart phone, the only cost is a little data.
Edit..... I see it is built in so that is more convenient.

Yea it is SnoopZ but for for some reason the previous owner or maybe someone viewing the car at the garage has decided to take it.
I think it will benefit having a sat nav that is up to date and as it was built in I just thought what the heck as we were going to
buy him a dashcam but he beat us to it.
Not complaining this worked out cheaper.

Re: What have you just bought?
New oven as the old one gave up last night, they certainly don't make them like they used to do as we only had it for 7 years.

Re: What have you just bought?
Our built-in oven is about 35 years old but it's on it's fourth or fifth element as it gets a lot of use. This is the part that commonly fails but is relatively cheap (~£17) and easy to replace: About 15 minutes work with a Philips screwdriver.
Though it seems that the newer elements don't last like the original, I guess they're being made down to a price as well.

Our oven lasted about 12 years before it went so l we bought the same oven again just that it was more a modernised version of it.

Re: What have you just bought?
It was sparking then the oven would not go higher than 60.
Maybe I was a bit fast in buying a new oven tbh.

Re: What have you just bought?
2 packs of sugar from Poundland (1.65kg for 50p, an odd size) 65p/kg in most shops, but only 30p/kg in Poundland.
Just found a recall from last year when "small particles of metal" could be in them. But not the batch numbers they are selling now.

Re: What have you just bought?
When the element goes in ours it's pyrotechnics time: Bright yellow glow, then frying sound and finally blue flashes. Then the fuse goes. It plugs into a standard 13A outlet.
If your electrics include an RCD (Earth leakage breaker) it usually knocks the whole house out rather than the fireworks.
There's a panel at the rear held by some screws, remove this to inspect the element. It's usually pretty obvious when it's gone.

Re: What have you just bought?
Going by what you said Heero it defo sounds like it was the element yellow glow, frying sound and the oven would not go above 60.
One thinks that maybe I was too hasty in getting a new oven

Re: What have you just bought?
Well can't be helped. Hope you didn't have to spend too much on a replacement.
If there's a next time you'll know and can ask here. That's if we're still around.

Re: What have you just bought?
Not as much as last oven this one was only £207 and that was including delivery as we did not want to spend crazy money atm as we don't know if we will be staying here tbh as at the moment we're in discussions about either down sizing, buying a brand new home or moving to a coastal area.

Re: What have you just bought?
Similar to that... this one comes with a 40” Sanyo which is getting sold and I’m putting a 43” LG in.
Bed has usb charging points and headphone sockets also has 4.1 surround
I think I’ll work from bed from now on 😂😂
However, returning to more mundane spending... pair of curtains
