Mind you I like food shopping
Generally my partner goes to the shop to get fresh fruit/veg as yes some of the stuff we ordered before was not of the required freshness and quality but in terms of most other stuff we are pretty happy with ordering online as it saves my partner from carrying some pretty heavy stuff.

I have seen good reviews about that smart watch, personally i can't see the point of smart watch, it is easier just to get my phone out my pocket and use the larger screen.

I haven't actually won a watch in years but really wanted one.

It's more the convenience of not having to take my note 3 out of my pocket. If I am out a or busy and can't look at my phone I can see the notifications on my wrist. Or cancel a call if I don't want to answer without actually having to look at the phone screen.

Hoping it will increase my battery life as well by not using my 0 hone screen as often.

Yes spent ages comparing and this seemed to be the best by far and also has a wifi chip which will be enabled in the next update soon.

Do you still have to charge up the 360 once a day?

I think with normal usage it will last a day and a half but it charges wirelessly so will just stick it on the dock every night anyway just like with my phone.

Re: What have you just bought?

Been getting back into military modelling lately and my poor old Badger airbrush has outlived it's usefulness so just invested in a new dual action one and a new compressor.

That's a really good price Osem. Have you tried Saturn peaches, also known as Donut peaches or as my youngest calls them the flat peach they are really nice.

Oddly enough we saw them today at the same market stall. I've never tried them as they always seem to look a bit insipid to me but maybe that's the way they're supposed to be...
