More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..

Are they fake mediaeval-like bolts in the u-PVC door?!

Sorry forgot to post the picture of the socket set too, the quality is fantastic!

I was a bit surprised at how small it was for the large cost to be honest, but it's a lovely precision bit of kit!

Just give in to them, you know it's too hard to resist!

I agree, think of all the tightening and untightening you will be able to do.

You probably have to watch some of the smaller models, but this design is plenty big enough, a GB note fits within 2/3rds of the space available.

Thought i'd treat myself to one of these.

I thought i would tweak the wifi in the house as there were a couple of weak spots, so rather than repositioning the main wifi Asus ac router which would have been fine, i thought it would be a great idea to get some access points and mount them on the ceilings.

There are a fair few different makes and models in various price ranges, but no i had to make sure it all worked and went enterprise...

So, two of these for the house...

And one of these for the garage to give garden coverage...

And not forgetting a 16 port poe switch...

I would be dead if the wife ever found out.

Exactly.

It's a standard 3 bed detached, however, i can now also get wifi at the end of my road.

Excellent. Every man should have WiFi within half a mile of their house

Superb.

You've bought a combine harvester to look after a window box.

Is it any good?

[Chevykevv]

Works very well now I have the perimeter wire set up.


don't have to cut the lawn anymore so it's all good.

'needed' a 2nd TV due to house renovation (so far so not frivolous) and was thinking 50/55" as we already have a great panasonic 65"... well lots of reading later and tinkering with the budget and man maths came up with this.... Samsung UE65JU6400.


https://www.avforums.com/review/samsung-ue55ju6400...

saw it advertised @ £1,599 @ John Lewis, got them to price match Debenhams (£1,525) and then did the £300 trade in of any 32" TV (offer ends today). Put in terms like that it really does seem quite reasonable and non-frivolous

[Chevykevv]

Yes, cuts grass but would be no good on Robotwars!!

[Bungleaio]

We have a dog, I think a robot lawn mower would end up creating an awful mess unless it can clean the lawn before cutting.

Robot Lawn mower/fertiliser?

[Krikkit]

What do those Robomowers do with the clippings? Is it like a Roomba where you just empty the box once in a while..?
