Re: What have you just bought?

Some HyperX Cloud Alpha S 7.1 surround sound headphones, unfortunately this won't work for the Xbox 1, but no major issues.


I also got the TP-Link Wi-Fi power strip.

When my sister first said she was pregnant my mum was forever picking up stuff, baby grows were essential as baby poo can end up in the hair.


The funny thing was my sister didn't want to know what they were having.


We always said when "He" this and "He" that, but a few weeks before the baby arrived my mum suddenly started to say "She".


Which made us think.


Then my Niece arrived.

Re: What have you just bought?

I do now try and not buy too much as it was pointed out via WhatsApp just how much I bought when they laid out everything and filmed it, but in my defense I honestly never realised.

I was lucky enough that our offer to buy the pram and the baby monitor was accepted.

All I'm saying is baby monitors have came a long way since my day, this is the one that they got https://www.johnlewis.com/bt-video-s...nitor/p4119395 really should have waited as it has came down in price by £30.00

I bought 2 booster seats with back support and 2 boosters without for my sister & brother-in-law., 1 set for them 1 set for us to pick them up whenever required.

I still remember picking my niece up from school, all the kids had to wait, but my niece didn't she pushed past the teacher and came running to me shouting UNCLE, then jumped and hugged me.

The teacher laughed and said she obviously knows you, but I still told her the password.

Got one of them in April. Got it mostly because I wanted to play PC games through it, and partly because I live with my Niece and Nephew, and I thought it would be a good thing to help them learn. That said, my Nephew isn't remotely interested by it, and my Niece only really plays Beatsaber.

I could suggest several apps, but I think that is getting a little off topic.

Regarding my own expenditure, I had planned for this month to be expensive, as I want an Xbox Series X, and a iPhone 12 Max, both of which launch this week. Had an unexpected expense this week though. Last week, I was mucking around with my Nephew. He got over excited and leapt on to the Sofa. Right on top of my headphones. Which snapped. Annoying, but while I've told him repeatedly not to jump on the sofas, I am partly responsible because I was winding him up, and I shouldn't have put the headphones on the sofa.
