Cat flea treatments from France, evading local vet fees of £45 per cat for "health checks" and the same treatments at 42% more expensive.

Mind you I got 2 for 1 on frames, so my distance pair I ordered transition and the reading pair have a coating for that help with screen use.
I got two pairs (1 varifocal and 1 for screen use) with anti-scratch and anti-reflective coatings for £99 from ASDA, Good solid frames too.

Re: What have you just bought?

A pair of Denon AH-W200 wireless earphones. While (as noted in http://www.digitaltrends.com/headpho...h-w200-review/) they do have problems with bluetooth dropouts, and awkward controls (which I don't really use), as well as making the user look like he or she is wearing two old school hearing aids, they do sound a lot better than my old Sennheisers, and offer 4 to 5 hours playback on one charge. They also have a wired backup connection, and become passive when that is used, so you can use them even if the battery is flat.

I also bought a Samsung T1 external SSD. Not cheap, but gives 512Gb storage and is blindingly fast on the USB3 socket.

Just bought (well arrived on Weds) a OnePlus 3 - a few niggles but all in all a smashing phone.

Mine arrived on Monday, but since I've been working away all week, only got to set it up today.

A bit annoyed the NFC transfer didn't work, but besides that, liking it a lot.

2nd September

Hopefully it will have calmed down a bit, mind you last year when we went the first night there was a protest which turned into a mini riot Turkish police waded in firing tear gas

Which was nice !

Re: What have you just bought?

A gas bbq yesterday.

Spent ages building it just in time for cooking last night.

Unfortunately the whole thing caught fire including the outside of the bbq.

I took the remains back for a refund today.....

Re: What have you just bought?

Flights to/from Boston MA for September, hotel rooms for 2 nights in Boston and 2 nights in Provincetown, and ferry tickets to/from Boston and Provincetown.

We haven't booked the other 10 nights, we'll play it by ear when we get there...

That's September's holiday sorted...

Re: What have you just bought?

Some online shopping from nescafe dolce gusto, I have just bought one box of Cappuccino Ice, 3 boxes of Nestea Peach one box of Nestea Lemon. The peach and the lemon tea are lovely but the shops don't seem to keep stock them for some reason so have no option but to buy online
