How were you able to get them to price match the E7 down to £1,599 yesterday please?I ordered an E7 yesterday with John Lewis. They’ve confirmed that I’ll still be eligible for the £500 LG cashback bringing the price down to £1,099. Well chuffed with that
Yeah I need to know how you achieved this?I ordered an E7 yesterday with John Lewis. They’ve confirmed that I’ll still be eligible for the £500 LG cashback bringing the price down to £1,099. Well chuffed with that

The price match was from the weekend before but I only got round to ordering yesterday. Was holding off in case it dropped even further but doesn’t look like it will.
I think you missed the offer on Jabra Elite Sport. I got some for £130, down from £180 on Amazon, RRP £230. Click link in my sig for rather thorough (long) video
Short version, I think they're pretty amazing.I Picked up in the sales so far

)Amazon HD 10 Tablet - Purchased for my daily commute. Virtually given up reading my Kindle on the train as I tend to be a magnet for people with Laptops; Who insist on making the world known that they are important. No issues with people working on the go, smashing the keyboard, winds me up no end.
Sadly my brain cannot adsorb reading a book and listening to music at the same time (I envy people who can). Therefore a tablet was in order. I purchased Wednesday and it turned up today (it was scheduled for 2nd December) which was a nice surprise.
I got fed up with iTunes and syncing my iPad as its such a ball ache! I just want to drag and drop files. Yes the Fire is plastic and bendable - For the price (£120 for no ads) well chuffed.
I want to get my wife a new tablet and I’m looking at one of these. Our iPads have all but ground to a halt and I want to try out Alexa. The price always seems too good to be true though.
Price matched against where?
Reliant Direct. I think it’s gone back up to full price now though. Demoed it in Currys and was actually impressed by the little sound bar, should be plenty good enough for now.

My spam filter has done me well this week, not been after anything so wasn't really interested.
Its managed to catch 5 from amazon yesterday alone, and around 20 of the same email being spammed at me by a car cleaning product site all week.
Best part is the massive savings they offer on their mediocre products are still 20% above a better competitor

The rain forest is currently doing 3 for 2 on packs of the Philips Hue GU10 at the best price Ive ever seen them!
3 packs of GU10 white ambience for £80
3 colour GU10's for £100
I paid £87 from another retailer for the 3 for 2 on the white ones a few days ago so rang up and got the difference back.

This is one of the things that I find a bit irritating.
I already have a couple of the Ikea bulbs you can control from a remote but there is one critical flaw with the whole thing. My other half always turns it off at the switch
All very well being able to sit on the sofa and say 'turn the light on' but getting everyone in the house into the habit of turning it off the correct way so you can turn it on again is a pain!

Ftfy......
This is why I prefer lightwaverf. Use whatever bulbs you want and just change the actual lightswitch. Then regardless of switch position you can still use your phone, alexa, etc... As the switch is the thing you're actually controlling.This is one of the things that I find a bit irritating.

Yeah OK it doesn't have all the different coloured flashing to music rubbish... but I don't really need that.
The cost of phillips hue stuff is just insane. I think the other day I looked it was about £50 just for a 1m led strip... that's not a joke! Lol

You can use the motion sensor, a Philips light switch, or automate the lights to come on and off at set times. So there are ways of getting around the problem you highlighted.
Motion sensors and replacing the physical light switch with one from Philips is the route I'm taking.
Replacing the switch isn't any cheaper..LightwaveRF for example...
Lighting Starter Kit (Hub and single switch) = £185
Smart Dimmer Switch (Single Gang) = £60
Smart Dimmer Switch (2-gang) = £99
And then the cost of the bulbs on top...it starts mounting up. Around £1,200 for my house and its only a 3 bedroom.
