Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics]) - Do NOT use imgur, postimage or ~imgbb~!

I also bought a Rice cooker to avoid buying packet veetee rice. Although i wish i'd gone with the Yum Asia Sakura in hindsight. The Kumo is good, but takes ~35 minutes for rice, whereas the Sakura is much quicker. No issue if you're organised, but when you're cooking and decide last minute to have rice on the side it can be annoying.
Well if it makes you feel any better, the Zojirishi takes 1 hour for white; 30 on "quick" and more like 2 hours for brown!
 
Haha that very much does make me feel better!

I still think it's baffling that it only gives a countdown in the last 10 minutes. Makes food planning so difficult!

Fast rice cooker is generally bad, I have one that takes like 15mins, it's one of those where the trigger to turn off is the thermostat. So it boils at max heat until all water is gone, when temp hits over 100c, it switches off. That's not really the trigger that the rice is cooked or cooked right, it's just that the water is gone so almost like a safety cut off.

Good rice cooker like the Yum Asia has fuzzy logic, it cooks rice slowly before it heats up at a slower curve and cooks rice, actually cooks it the way it's meant to be.

The way I do it is that I just cook it hours before, up to 2 or 3. It keeps it warm and perfect with the keep warm function and it doesn't burn it.
 
Yeah, i'll certainly admit that it tastes very good and i'm happy with the purchase.

My main issue is that i'm supposed to be reducing household items ahead of relocating to Spain in <2yrs and yet i've recently bought a sodastream, rice cooker and a pile of weights/equipment :D
 
My TV is on the wall, so no room sadly.

Sideways with something in front of it works well. I've got mine on a top shelf with routed cables:

Do you remove those books when you use it? They look awfully close to the exhaust. My PS5 doesn't exactly run cool. :)

They don't go behind it, it just looks like it from the front. They're actually about an inch away from the PS5.

@Russinating Is that meant to be a cat or a French bulldog ornament? It looks a bit like a Japanese French Bulldog :p

No idea! OH has had it for decades. I mean, it's not a cat... what cats have you seen?!
 
Think I've seen it (or something like it) still being sold if you go looking up sites. Maybe John Lewis had it too? Fairly expensive though!

It is quite nice for something you don't have to paint, I'll agree.

@mrk Big fan of that wallpaper. Looks awesome.


I'm slightly bummed out because over the years I've made holes in the walls for shelves etc which are now gone so would have liked to have patched up the holes with little bits of spare wallpaper. I had a roll spare for exactly this reason. But can I find it anywhere? Absolutely not!

Yeah, this is the issue with wallpaper. I have a preference for paintable wallpaper for that reason, as you can get rolls of the same stuff practically forever and can spruce it up whenever you want (I'm fond of the Greek Key superfresco).
 
Yeah, i don't do wallpaper for that very reason. Doesn't stop that one being very nice though.

I wonder if you could get a similar effect with filling the holes and then using some blue and white spray paints?

I say that, absolutely no way could i do anything that creative!

Sadly, wallpaper is sometimes a necessity in older lath and plaster housing, due to all the bumps! Skimming over lime plaster is also pretty much a waste of time, as it just never takes properly. You either wallpaper (cheap) or it all comes down (messy and expensive).
 
I could probably do it and it would look invisible until you actually got up close to that patch area lol. I will try it with a piece of blutac moulded in flush and paint over it to test at some point soon, nice idea!

Oh yeah, our old house had horsehair plaster and you could actually feel it was only the wallpaper holding it all together. We'd have loved to remove it and replaster, but the amount of mess/work would've been huge!

It is always a concern when the ceiling feels held up just by the wallpaper, been there, done that :D
 
Got a new old phone (retail with case ,charger ect) wanted a decent camera with telephoto and screen ect used the 20 percent off ebay code ,only thing i will miss is wireless charging (coming from a mate 20 pro) but it does the super fast charging thing ,obviously less than a quarter of the price of newer phones with similar specs
Oppo find x2 pro but warranty ect

42" C2 finally arrived and thought what the hell and got some LSX's to go with it which were on offer. which savings were promptly wasted on the wall brackets :p Loving the latter sound, still need to tweak the settings on the former :o
