Set of BT023s for the CB500X.

Picked up a screw in the front tyre, but with 2mm tread left, decided I may as well replace the pair.

Putting road tyres on an upright bike was a surprise in the corners. Been on a few days now, so getting used to them now!

I did this the other day to get a free 2 month cinema pass: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hold-app-giving-out-2-months-free-now-tv-movie-pass-nowtv-3091842

Basically you leave your phone for 2 hrs with the app running (a challenge for a millennial) to get it. There are other 'rewards' like free cinema popcorn. I'm sure they're harvesting all your data but meh.


It would appear, not tried it yet, that I can buy a further pass with 150 points. I will see what happens, if it doesn't work, I'll see if I can buy drinks from Vue without going into a movie, cos many of my Deliveroo restaurants are nearby.

The last thing I bought today was a cup of tea for £1. As earlier in the day someone gave me a £1 cash tip, and my last drop was in the back of beyond and it was cold and wet. Such a glamorous existence Laughing

2 x £2 scratch cards.

Won £6 on one and £5 on the other.

Claimed £10 and used the other £1 on another card.

Won £10 on it.

Just came across this: https://www.nowtv.com/foxycasino#ib-section-section-2 It appears to be 2 months entertainment for free? Depending on when it expires that'll be handy for the next series of GoT Smile

didn't work for me, but I already have a pass - it appeared to sort of work - cos it said "oops you already have an enterainment pass...."

as for the HOLD APP.

It wanted 150 points for a Now TV movie pass, not 60 for the first time, as I have already mentioned, but then said I was limited to one a month.

So.... it could be a case of keep doubling up the points, and reedeming voucher once a month. Suits me. Laughing

Apart from possibly the Vue food and drink, the rest of the offers look a bit rubbish. Maybe some more will come along.

Was that an entertainment or movies pass you already have (I thought they were separate)? I noticed the terms said one pass per account, I assume so you can't stack them, maybe that applies to any promo pass?

That would be pretty awesome Smile Sky movies is actually quite good: https://www.nowtv.com/watch-movies Netflix/Prime don't have the same catalogue, although I thought Prime was slightly better for movies when I had it (Netflix has better series).

Well I signed up for NowTV but it wouldn't give me the two months because I already had one free month active with the sign up.

Oh well, no great shakes.

Where do you look for offers for future reference?

See if it'll let you use it when your free trial is over (obviously make sure it doesn't auto-renew). The Hold app was posted on HUKD, its an ok site just very mumsnet. The Entertainment pass offer I found from randomly googling.

It's the standard length for the VFR. I didn't go for the lowering option!

It is dead sexy though, I don't want to fit it to the VFR as it'll get dirty!!

£40

Very impressed - adds wifi remote control to dSLR cameras.
So on my now a bit ageing 60D I can control all the important functions from my phone and it provides live view/review so I can get real bokeh in my selfies Smile.

(Also an Amazon basics tripod because the two tripods I have are both 250 miles away.)

Oral B Pro 2 2000N toothbrush (£35 Tesco) to replace my existing Oral B toothbrush. Basically the same but with a better battery.

I bought the lower spec model one a couple of years ago, it was my first electric toothbrush. I am now a complete convert
to the electric brush. I've now bought the Li- Ion battery equipped model and am looking forward to all round improved
performance. My wife already had the same higher spec one and side by side the difference is quite noticeable, including charge
time actually. My old brush had to charge for over a full day before it was full and suffered diminished performance after a
couple of uses whereas the one my wife has went like it had just had a full charge right up until the moment it stops completely.
This new one boasts two weeks between charges. So I can take it away on hols and leave the charger at home too.

I know a couple can share a brush and just have their own heads but it's the old who used the car last and left it with
no petrol scenario
as neither of us will charge it often enough but it will be used twice as much. Laughing

A mystery pack of 20 Blu Rays from LoveFilm. Apparently a mixture of genres and for the price I paid if one film is something I would watch then I have myself a bargain.

This might sound a bit [Bodytard], for which I apologise, but for feck's sake, get a life! Laughing

Been laying slabs out in the rain in an otherwise uneventful week. Believe me when I say buying a toothbrush has
been a highlight of recent mud coated and soggy events. Other stuff I have bought lately have been a bulk bag of sharp
sand, four bulk bags of ballast and another of decorative stone, loads of cement and postcrete and the like for part 2 of a
fencing project , plus a rubber mallet.

Compared to that lot the toothbrush feels like an entirely frivolous purchase.
