Onions, still at 50p per kg in Aldi. Everywhere else they are 85p+ per kg.

Re: What have you just bought?

A 6 way junction box to move a power point. Ideally I should run new cables back to each of the next sockets in the ring but it's too difficult at the moment to move loads of furniture and pull up all the floors to do it.

Re: What have you just bought?

Flights for our holiday next March - me, SWMBO, and another couple are going on a Florida road trip.

We're flying Leeds to Dublin, then Dublin to Miami - on the way back it will be Orlando to Dublin, then Dublin to Leeds; that way, we do the Homeland Security checks in Dublin, and the Dublin to Miami flight is treated as an internal flight, so we get out of the airport quickly (for comparison, last time we all flew to Boston from the UK, it took nearly 3 hours from landing to getting out of the airport, whilst when we went to San Francisco via Dublin, it took around 40 minutes - definitely worth doing, imho...).

Trip (rough) itinerary attached.

A 125g tube of contact adhesive to glue some plastic laminate edging on.

What's wrong with Wales? Far more interesting than Florida

I did come close to getting the 12.9 but couldn’t claim that one back from work

I would strongly recommend them - I've had one just under 4 years (still going strong), and it's my main media consumption device (newspapers, magazines, books, casual web browsing, shopping, videos).

Renault Carminat Live Tomtom 2019 V10.05 Europe Navigation for my son's car as for some reason his car is missing this
