    Passed up going to see them on his final tour because I'd just go next time. Still seething at my past self for that.

    New lass seems pretty good though, so maybe this time.

    Spending a lot of time in my sons bed lately (oi oi) so finally binning his cot bed and getting him a big lad bed so I don’t have to lie like a prawn with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

    After looking at and nearly falling for a few ‘good reviews cos they have a good referral scheme’ (after all, I am the master) mattresses, I’ve settled for a Silent Night Just Bliss mattress.

    Will pick up a bed frame from Ikea tomorrow and then be counting down the days to my his new mattress.

    Did IKEA really do their own bespoke sizes? Or was it a case of them using the European metre sizing whereas we still use feet?

    Probably the latter.

    All I know is Ikea is like a weird cult where you need to be initiated cos there’s no chance anyone who has never been before would have any clue what to do or how to buy anything.

    Ikea must be, quite literally, the easiest physical shop to buy stuff from. They tell you exactly where everything is. Their cheap kids mattresses are a bit wank though.

    Where is the upcoming sale thread? I need a new laptop with a budget of Ł400. Sort it out and hurry up.

    I say it to everyone but if you don't care about looks, go for a refurb (from a reputable seller of course). For Ł400 you'll get a beast.

    Like this maybe?

    I have a refurb (Ł200) at home. Served me well coming up 5 years now.

    How good are they really?

    My Mum needs a new laptop as she seems to completely fuck hers up within a year or two before dragging it along for a further 2-3 years.

    How can you fuck up a laptop? Do you mean physical damage? If so, what's she doing to it?

    Well she fucked the hinge on one (I'm assuming by dropping it) and the shell(?) popped up exposing said hinge.

    Most of the time it's just fucked with bloatware and general crap I guess.

    Her current one the camera and/or microphone will barely work when she needs to use teams.

    I'm not sure how she does it.

    Yeah I replaced my 2014 MacBook air with a 2021 M1 Pro last year. I'm not about Apple phones but they are the way to go on laptops.

    Refurb from their site in the 1200-1600 range is what you want I reckon.

    For someone who isnt great with tech, an Apple phone is the way to go but for a laptop. They can go fuck themselves. Shocking devices.

    I got the M4 Pro with the 24GB RAM. It's is outrageously quick and I don't think I've heard the fan once. I've not yet set-up my music stuff with it, but my last one ran Cubase like a sack of potatoes.

    That refurb looks class and my Mum decided she would buy a refurb but she doesn't want that one as she doesn't like the keyboard (she has a Lenovo)...

    I'm really keen in getting a Remarkable electronic notepad thing. But for Ł500 they're a bit pricey. Hard to justify not using a pen and pad.

    It's really quite soft, so I reckon you'll need a firm mattress underneath (which is what we have).

    Again that's down to the firmness of your mattress. It'd be like trying to shag on a water bed if you laid it over a soft mattress. I've no complaints with our setup.

    If anyone knows any Pokémon fans that have a car, why not get them an air freshener for a stocking filler this Christmas?

    Yes this is my website.
    Yes it’s a closing down sale, all stock must go by December 31st when my Shopify license expires and I won’t be renewing it.

    super nice. Well worth it so far. Not too soft, but it just hugs you just right.
