    Thanks Mustang, i love the idea of that because my phone can be annoying at times when texting because of the small keys and nearly always mistype something.

    I switched to Mac well over a decade ago and have not gone back. I do still like Windows, and can see the point in it - it has its place, but for my use, I am also an Apple convert.

    I decided to look back as I couldn't quite remember...I am on my 8th MacBook!! :# 

    I know that sounds expensive but these computers hold their value and I have sold 5 of my previous ones when I upgraded, so recouped a significant proportion of the money. If you consider a Windows laptop is more or less worthless after a few years and a MacBook is still worth several hundred, it hasn't really cost me more than owning Windows machines.

    I've just bought a powerbank, so I can at least still stay in touch with people and work if the power goes out again.

    (Which apparently it will as we're still on a backup generator :/

    Last thing I purchased on line was a book, or I should say books. 

    One was about the battle at Monte Cassino in WWII (My Dad was there) and the second was about spies and spy craft in the English Civil War....

    Just bought 4 200g jars of Nescafe for 9 pounds on Amazon, a big saving on supermarket prices

    A Flash Speedmop - although it's just highlighted how deceptively grubby our floors always are! :smiley:

    My Mum wants a new cheese plane so I decided to get her a nice one from a specialist cheesemonger in London (Paxton and Whitfield) for Mother's Day.

    The problem is it costs £21 and this company gives you free delivery if you spend £40 or more.

    I think I will have little choice but to top the order up with some cheese.

    Well, I just had to Google what a cheese plane was!

    I just got an email offering me the chance to enter a draw to win a £1000 bottle of cognac for £8. There are 145 tickets going for £8 each so £1160 total, the cognac RRPs for £1130 so they are pretty much getting retail price for it, they aren't inflating the price to sell more tickets.

    I am really tempted but I don't play the lottery or gamble and I am wary of wasting the money. :D

    I play on a couple of raffle sites and have had stupidly good luck so far.  Though I've still not won that trip to Japan.  :D  I will say, only buy tickets if it's money you can afford to lose.

    I know that phrase well from the stock market and such but never really understood it! I can afford to lose a given amount, but I still don't want to!

    Since I cut down my alcohol intake I suppose £8 is maybe 2 days' surplus money that I previously would have spent on alcohol, so I'd be buying quality and not quantity? :blush:
