6kg Serrano Ham Leg, £40, Lidl. Last Saturday. Barely made a dent. Get in.

Now all I need is the laptop... I've also ordered two 16Gb cards since I exhausted mine at the zoo yesterday.

Kindle Voyage. Not impressed with the "page press" function (what's so difficult about flicking the page with your thumb?) but other lighter and easier to read from than my iphone (with it's idiotproof case) and my ipad.

Yip, that's utterly dire and should never have been released like that. Imagine it'll be fixed soon enough.

Airtex Hercules exercise mat. It cost aroun 130 quid, but it is thick and comfortable.

Dell XPS 13 - Loving the machine itself (only installed a few progs so far), less so Dell's trackpad settings and FAIL 8, so I'll be adjusting both of those.

There's next to no travel in the keys which is a bit weird compared to what I'm used to, but they still work great. The light-up keyboard's brilliant even when you really don't need it :lol:

The battery life's very good so far, hours of juice and probably even more once I get into the settings.

If anyone wants any further details let me know.

Time to leave the lottery tickets alone for a while methinks.

Some TMNT figures for the nephew are absolutely brilliant, as is my Dell ultra book despite Microsoft's best efforts with FAIL 8.

A belt that was nowhere near the company's own measurements, and a very broken sweet dispenser... soon to be replaced.

I'm getting a subscription to Computer Active though - great little mag.

A tablet cover was pish but at least it's not mine... A tooth filling that's best described as 'a bit big but it'll do'... a Boris Johnson book that's promising so far... a brilliant issue of Computer Active, so good I bought a subscription... and a scratched DVD which, whilst bought second-hand, still shouldn't be in that condition. Need to watch it and decide if I'm keeping it.

My subscription to Computer Active came with a handly little tool kit as a bonus... My Fire TV Stick should be awesome now that I spent a few hours sideloading apps and what have you (doesn't like my cheeky Netflix codes though, or my PS4 controller. Yet.)... My Armani watch is pure win... I've finally bought a framed T2 'Arnie on the bike' picture that's good... I've totally given up on the lotto tickets :oops:
