^ Pretty much, yeah. It doesn't smell of anything, so completely neutral.

Bought some Adidas ATRs, I think in the worse colourway, £40 used on ebay. I missed out on a much nicer pair as I was haggling over £5, so that will teach me. I wanted the ATRs as they have a much thicker sole than the standard ultraboost, want to see how much longer they last.



I also bought a mechanical keyboard. Logitech G413 used from eBay £30. I don't think I like it as the keys are too sensitive and I have heavy fingers, also the back lit keys always default to the maximum brightness (bright enough to light my room) so I have to change it every time I boot up, so will maybe try a different one.

UPDATE: I installed the LG Hub application which takes care of super brightness automatically and have got used to the keys now too. I also installed a generic OSD to indicate when numlock is on or off. I'm pretty happy with it all now.

Four new tyres for my car. It feels much nicer driving around with tyres that actually have tread on them

Got some Bluetooth earphones with a neck band thingy so they can't ping out of my weird ears and roll down a drain. One more victory in the war against wires (although these do have wires, but only little ones)

Quercetin complex and Omega-3 capsules, both in an effort to help with hayfever.

Some cheap JVC, clip earphones.

And, last but not least, rooibos 'chocolate brownie' flavour I'm not sure it's going to work well so i've only bought 100g of it.

I was using a cheap chair my brother left behind when he moved out, but it was too deep so I kept ending up hunched over my computer. Also the arms would get in the way of me getting right in under my desk.

This chair (SONGMICS OBN81BUK) has nice lower back support, folding arms and tilt function, which is a combination that turned out quite hard to find. Got this used on ebay for £30 then paid a van service £26 to deliver.

George Foreman grill with removable plates from Amazon



Had a small Foreman grill for years but is about half the size of this one and a major pain to clean. This one you just detach the plates and clean them with the regular dishes. Much better.

Green screen of amazon £15 that I am trying out how to do effects in after effects and try and put myself in a clip of a film.

Also luminous green tape that hopefully work well enough so I dont stub my toe by accident or bump into bedside table going to an from bedroom late at night with the lights out. What I tried so far though isnt very bright.

Bamboo socks from TK max. They're meant to have all these special properties. But these feel like cotton though so not wholly convinced they are bamboo. However £5.99 for pack of 3 socks cotton or bamboo is not too bad.
