Re: What have you just bought?
The washer- dryer arrived at 3:45, unpacked and plumbed-in by 4:10. Ran a machine cleaner program... and I'm very impressed so far. All I could hear was the pump and the solenoids!

Good job matey. You're due some serious brownie points I'm sure. The reviews look good but I'd be very interested on your thoughts when you've used it a few times, especially the drying. The reviews on your link look good but there's always a couple which make you wonder whether they're using the same machine...
PS I read on the machine (and some others) that they're a bit deeper than the normal appliance so if there's pipework or a tap site directly behind the machine that can cause problems. Did you notice anything like that Taff?

Re: What have you just bought?
I have read The Book of Destructions and you have to be careful how you set it up, especially with regards to wash weights. But that's the same with most washer dryers AFAIK.
The missus has put a damp load in now.... 1hr25 to wait until it's drying time.

3 GU10 LED bulbs from Lidl. Dimmable and so bright! 5W rating to replace 50W of halogen.

Re: What have you just bought?
Some Mikimoto pearls for Mrs G as she's been so patient and supportive for the best part of 4 years while I spent nearly every spare minute helping my late mum.
I don't think I could of coped without her so she deserves some spoiling.
Cheers
Grim

The other day we made a lovely chicken, chorizo and butternut squash soup - yummy.
Apples are a good fruit to use when combining green veg and fruit because if you use red fruits the result is a horrid brown...
If you have never tried it I can recommend using frozen fruit with natural yoghurt to make what turns out like ice cream but is much healthier. Ripe bananas freeze really well and you can use frozen strawberries or whatever too according to your taste. You can add small amounts of veg like carrots, cabbage and sprouts to this and you'll hardly notice in the final product. Great for kids who don't like veg.

Re: What have you just bought?
We do lots of stuff like that as well but I have my daily turmeric separately so that I don't stain the jug!

Re: What have you just bought?
My dad likes to make soups from "stuff" and blend it up to a purée. I prefer broth type soups with larger bits in.

Re: What have you just bought?
A nice new dehumidifier to replace our noisy old Delonghi which finally packed up a few days ago.
So far it seems very good and the various timer and humidity settings look very useful.

Re: What have you just bought?
A new sim card for my old phone. Now all I have to do is teach my darling husband how to use a smart phone. So far he has conquered the art of turning it on rather than rebooting it.
I fear this latest project may take some time. <sigh>

An Apple Mac Mini. Went for a second hand 2012 model off eBay as they are a better spec than the new 2014 iteration.
