Thoughts and prayers.
Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

I've been talking about making sure the next car comes with a tow bar (getting one fitted here is stupidly expensive/hassely), with the intention of buying a trailer. My wife said she's going to have an override on the gate so whenever i go out with the trailer she can vet anything i try and bring home

I just blue myself for £12.99.
Sorry if you wrote this elsewhere, but where did you buy it for £12.99?

Oh sweet, I've not used that. Very good. I don't really play much any more but at some point that sounds like it'd be worth it. How's the game?

We bought a house - we completed 4.30pm on the one day, moved the next (sellers were threatening to pull out, even though it was only end of August they accepted our offer?)
It didn't come with white goods which I preferred to get our own anyway, although I found washing machine shopping very annoying. I went with an AEG 9000 series as I like the built in water softener feature, but you then lose options on the lower range machines such as AutoDos. Waiting on their heat pump driers to come into stock, I think they had a BF promotion where buying a drier and washing machine together meant saving as a bundle.
Some Bosch fridge freezer with a long model name, I just went for one with A rating efficiency. Another annoying shopping process as websites still show lower energy rating machine when clicking on A due to the recent energy rating scale change.
There were two PIR flood lights, one on the front of the house and one on the front of the garage. I had these replaced with Ring Pro flood lights.
Still lots of things to buy, next big purchase is getting the heating oil tank changed to a bunded tank. The current single skin has a crack appearing at the top so that's booked in for next week.

Thanks! We're extremely happy, and it was completely worth the stress - I'll made a post in Home & Garden about the hurdles (mainly with my previous property sale). Fingers crossed yours all goes through in the new year.
We were up for sale in March, sold in three days, buyer messed around, back up for sale, sold in one week, buyer didn't like the mortgage offers that were coming in, back up for sale and we are at week 9 and so far so good apart from the home we are buying having a cesspit and the seller being a bit secretive about it. Drainage report been booked today
Yay, congrats! Must be a huge relief.
We’ve got a Miele washing machine with autodos. Seemed like a great feature when we bought it but I found the quality of Miele’s fabric softener is really poor.
I assume different manufacturers implement AutoDos in different ways, as I was on the belief you can pour any detergent and softener into the tank? Unless Miele washing machines are similar to how they achieve AutoDos in their dishwashers, where you install a Miele Powerdisc into the dishwasher and it dispenses the right amount out of the disc each time, i.e. they're making the detergent part a proprietary solution?
As with most premium brands, they’ve managed to make something that should be generic part of a proprietary solution. There’s ways around it (e.g. refill empty tanks) but it just not worth the effort.
Quite fun actually, impressed all round. FSR3 is a bit junk but if you have a capable GPU then it's not needed for decent fps. It looks really nice too for the most part when outside and plays well.
Forest hunting is rather immersive
