A 5cm deep mattress topper, wow it sure makes a difference and beats spending 100s on a new mattress.

Re: What have you just bought?

A £3,000 kitchen from Ikea.. Also, while I was planning that, the TV in our living room blew up, so I bought the http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-43UH610V to replace it. Nice 4K TV (although the only 4K content I have access to is on Youtube, Netflix and Amazon Video), but I'd rather have waited until my finances recovered.

I still haven't finished with the kitchen. I've got to buy a dishwasher, not to mention pay someone to install all the cabinets (including electrical and gas work, neither of which I am qualified to do).

Re: What have you just bought?

So after an hour of reading reviews online, I've decided it's not worth buying a replacement paper shredder.

A garden incinerator at £17 works out a lot cheaper even if it only lasts one year!

Its a lot easier to burn shredded paper, I do one, and then the other.

Why my sister does is shred the paper (small cut) then put in with water and makes paper bricks via a mould which when dried go on the open fire.

Re: What have you just bought?

My sister and I have decided to get my Mum a stair lift as the council will not be able to fit one till a assessment is done which would more than likely be next year now and goodness knows when a stair lift would be fitted after that. This way she will have her Brooks stair lift next week and at the end of the day it's my Mum and Dad's, although I did phone to see if anyone rented these and I was shocked when I phoned Stannah Stairlifts to inquire about renting one, they wanted £1095 upfront and £77.00 monthly to rent it. So I phoned around and got The Brooks Lincoln Straight Stairlift with added extras that my Dad wanted for £1700. I personally think £850 each is well worth the peace of mind this will offer not to mention the help and confidence it should give our Mother when going up the stairs.
