    A curtain pole because my bedroom window in my new house is almost 4 metres wide :o
    That's nearly the length of my living room

    Yes, that's a little shorter than my current living room.

    I love a big window Poppy my living room one is very wide I’m hopeless at measurements so not sure how wide lol 

    It's 376 cms and only 114cms for the length. Bigger windows are nice because it lets in a lot of light but this window was a nightmare to find a curtain pole for. 

    Then even worse to find curtains to fit without spending about £350 for made to measure. In the end i bought 2 pairs of smaller curtains to cut the cost drastically. I'm not paying all that money for bedroom curtains.

    I’ve just got a wall shower seat, which hubby will fit for me, so I can at least shower without falling over 😁

    I thought mine was large at 3m & 130cm drop. It is lovely for light though & I don't have curtains, I just put up a net when it gets cold, like now. Actually, I was going to have poppy design but then went for dandelion clocks. 


    Back on thread, today I ordered an electric wheelchair cover.

    Yeah i've been reading up on that and i don't think there will me much difference to the 2022 model with the M2 chip,i don't need a laptop that will start up with the blink of an eye or need loads of memory as i won't be editing pics/ video etc.

    Also the price will probably jump up quite a lot over the 2022 model,i'm only thinking about getting a mac as i don't like windows just like i hate android which is why i have an iphone!

    I don't know about the price? They tend to keep them roughly the same when they announce a new one, unless there is a big increase in production costs, but you might well be right.

    I joined the dark side in 2010 and haven't looked back since, had about 7 Macs since then and numerous iPads and iPhones and goodness knows whatever else.

    If it helps I have a M2 MacBook Air and it's faster than a thin little laptop has any right to be. It blows my old desktop out of the water and that's only 6 years old. I don't think you will be disappointed!!!!

    Ha ha :)

    Apple will let you trade it in but they will give you like £0.05 in the pound. Probably better off selling it on eBay or similar.

    Ebay is a no no,i refuse to pay the extortionate sellers fees! I'll put it on facebook marketplace and preloved etc.

    Pens, coffee pods and milk but I only had to put a fiver towards it. As I volunteer for a children's rights organisation and they gave me a amazon gift card for saying thanks for all the hard work we as volunteers do

    I was looking at this watch as i have high blood pressure and and keep an eye on it using a monitor,does the watch monitor blood pressure?

    Edit:  I've just googled it and it doesn't monitor blood pressure!

    No it measures beats per minute and has an ECG function. Also capable of measuring temp at the wrist too
