Finally, my desk has arrived. Not the most exciting thing ever but it works for me. Also posted last week? was my whiteboard. Now mounted on the wall with all my book scribblings. Also got a power board with USB ports which doesn't fit in the cable tray... Not happy about it but I will work something out.

Just need to tidy up now lol.

I read somewhere that the SE rivals the 11 pro for speed ? I mean not that it matters in the real world at the moment.. but it will do a few years down the line with new iOS releases.

It has the same A13 Bionic CPU, running a screen that is much lower pixel count so it has headroom for daysssssssssssssssssss

My wife got her's on Friday, it really isn't that massive an update on performance to her iPhone 7 and lags way way behind my P30 Pro (which isn't a surprise)

I was really expecting a big jump for her, but at least it's a little more future proof than the 7 for not really that much money. The camera is very good.

I've basically bought the whole of amazon twice over for the arrival of a new baby, but cots, icandy buggies and stupidly expensive 360 degree swivling car seats really aren't photo worthy

couple of man pressies, new 16" MBP (2tb,32gb)

In an effort to do a modicum of exercise I got a ps4 and VR stuff with beat sabre, deffo a good workout. However, I just accidentally bought FF7 remake ;)

baby stuff - you would be amazed at what you can pick up from charity shops or second hand which is brand new for buttons. £850 pram for £100. 6 months old. been professionally steam cleaned so as new basically.

it's all crap that you use for 3-6 months then have to put it in storage or get rid of it. but so many people wastefully buy new.

there are plenty of shops which specialise in second hand baby stuff too specifically. so you can get some right good bargains.

the only thing they won't do is car seats as they cannot be PAT tested. whereas everything else can so is safe to buy. so you must buy a brand new car seat IMO.

That's great and all but most women won't accept second hand for baby stuff as daft as that is. They would rather have everything brand new, particularly anything their baby directly touches such as clothes.

My brother put all of his first born's stuff on eBay, some of it not even worn and a lot of it didn't sell or get a single bid.

I've even known people have two kids of the same gender, only a couple of years apart and they've bought everything brand new again for the second :eek:

yeah brand new kids timberland boots with tags still on them for buttons. the amount of crap people buy or get gifted then never use is amazing. so much wastage.

you would be amazed what is out there. and yeah the stigma of second hand is strong. had a woman at work buying for her daughter was complaining at prices. i linked her to a shop that does professionally cleaned PAT tested prams for 1/10th of the new price and she bought brand new anyway.

they grow so fast you don't need to buy them clothes for the first year or two as you get so many gifted to you. especially with baby showers and all the crap woman do these days
