    What did you get £84 back from with Quidco?

    You can use an app on your phone to control them so your old one is probably still perfectly usable, you can also plug in a USB keyboard/mouse as well, if needed.

    Was a few things from the past six months or so, notably O2 and EasyJet.

    And yeah I'm using my phone to control Kodi and a rubbish old mouse to control the android home screen bit, but it's not ideal. Plus the new one is white and looks good.

    If you just use Kodi on it have a look for some guides and you can boot it straight into Kodi so then you only need to use your phone and not a mouse as well (maybe alright for a bedroom tv or something)

    Presumably that has to be plugged in. Which is where the concept falls apart.

    For that kind of money, that charger really needs to be wireless too.

    There's no thread for it so it can go here. The holiday thread reminded me I want to buy a camera for the trip. I was going to upgrade the phone but I'd say any decent dedicated camera is better, plus I'm probably going to buy mid range in the phone this time round so I'll have 400 or so left for a camera. Recommendations? I'm not into it enough to buy one of those DSLR things (though they're normally four figure price anyway).

    Not that I know much about cameras, but I don't think you'll get much for £400. At that price range I kinda feel like you might as well just upgrade to a better phone or spunk £800 on a DSLR.

    As ever, The Wirecutter is a good place to start: http://thewirecutter.com/leaderboard/cameras/

    My phone is already very close to the top of the smartphone list as it is, but I always assumed any even crappy camera would be better than any phone as they can fit proper lenses and all in rather than having to make the whole case 8mm thick and having a smartphone motherboard and all in there.

    If that's not the case though, I will give up on the idea of a camera as there's no chance I want to walk around with one of those massive lens jobbies.

    That sort of size I was thinking (I don't know if that camera is shit or not though, I got it from Google image search)

    I don't want a DSLR though. They're huge because of the massive lens and normally have to go around your neck.

    Yeah I've got a Nikon D3300 that was under £400 when I got it a couple of years back. The new one (3400) came out in the summer and is £430 on amazon.

    What about something like number 2 on here, or would that still be too bulky?

    Still a bit on the large side for me but more along the lines. It'd need to be able to go back in my pocket after taking a snap.

    Maybe I'm looking at it wrong and the phone would do grand for what I want.

    Some of these look a bit smaller? You'd probably have to remove the lens to get it in your pocket though.

    Looking at this comparison to a Panasonic camera, I'm more than happy with my choice.

    That's nuts! The engagement ring is the expensive one over here. Think our wedding rings were about a grand in total.

    Hers is a match for the engagement ring and I wanted titanium because of work. Though I still wasn't expecting that.

    My PC finally gave up on life. Most of it was 7 years old, some about 12, so I've been shopping.

    I ordered some prescription sunglasses today. I've been meaning to for ages. Finally had enough of the sun pissing me off when driving.

    I ordered those. When you put the lenses and all in them they end up being £30 but that's still not bad. £5.95 for delivery as well.

    I'm not really sure what you mean. What is the limit? My glasses are pretty weak but I'd still rather wear them when driving than not.

    You get them on there. Once you've selected the frames you want, there's an option to put your prescription in.

    If you ask for it, legally they have to give you a copy so long as it's still in date.

    Parents offered to buy us a new fridge freezer as an early wedding present, which is awesome. Any pointers on a decent model would be nice, limited space in the kitchen so looking for a tall standard one, not a beast American one (as much as I want a beast American one).
