    Latest gadget/fad purchases

    I just had some of these delivered:



    And now, along with all my other winter/ski gear, am hoping the whole country gets iced over in one great snowpocalypse, just so I can get kitted out 'bear grylls' style and mock lesser mortals.

    But seriously - Mrs RH has asked me to test a range of these as the NHS may have need of such anti-slip footwear for all the oldies that slip and do themselves serious damage. I have found that they're excellent for all surfaces except laminate flooring. Where they're ruddy lethal.

    Any interesting and unnecessary toys/gadgets bought by the congregation recently?

          I'm tempted by those crampons too, at the risk of repeating myself a third time. A bit pricey though.

          I've also been considering upgrading my el cheapo broken camera to another more modern el cheapo camera. But my first visit to Amazon seems to have provided something suitable.

          Hmm, is endless traipsing around the shops in sale or the internet going to trump that? £70.

                  Someone recommended summat similar for Mary Poppins or Cailin Maith recently, but not as expensive as RH's ones. Was it TykeMerc???

                    I bunged some links up early this year when there was loads of snow and ice, the ex wife had bought some that work a treat.

                    I'll see if I can track down the post.
