Re: What have you just bought?

A battery for my daughter's phone.

The first one I bought from Slamtech (on play.com). It was swollen so I sent it back.

Since then they say they have sent out replacements FOUR times only for the them all to "disappear" in the post. A FIFTH was sent out "tracked" and that "disappeared" too.

Judging by their recent feedback, they are using the "lost in the post" excuse quite a bit recently. They are not answering emails now....BEWARE OF SLAMTECH!

1000 thread Egyptian cotton and silk duvet, pillow cases and fitted sheet.

Got it home to find the duvet has what looks like a deep black stain on it. Looks like a soaked in black marker spot although i'm not sure exactly what it is. So it's going back for a replacement.

Re: What have you just bought?

An adjustable walking stick from Amazon, to help me get around after my forthcoming operation for a full left kneecap replacement. Not looking forward to it.

Hope it goes OK, a guy I used to work with has had both knees done - recons the best thing he's ever done. In his early 70's and the only male member of the Friday morning walking club - him and a dozen or so women - tells me he loves it!!

Cheers
