Recent purchases thread
Any of you bought anything recently we should all know about, perhaps found an excellent deal somewhere?
I bought this rower recentyl, although second hand. It's awesome.

$49 for a small microwave from K-mart. To tide me over for a month while I have no kitchen.
And today a set of chrome lever taps for the ensuite- $99 from Bunnings.

Offroad R/C cars from Hobbyking (Hong Kong) for christmas presents - about $100 delivered including radio and battery. Nice quality, brushless motor, good electronics, LiPo battery, 4WD, all parts cheaply replaceable. You would pay about $300 for sonmething similar locally.

Stinger suits for the children, so they're ready for the beach, should summer ever decide to arrive.
ETA: They were in the sale at the Cancer Council.

Re: Recent purchases thread
I've had a busy few weeks
House
64" TV
710L fridge
3 peice leather sofa
Pugalier puppy
iPhone 5
8 zone security alarm
2 WiFi security cameras
and 2nd hand lawnmower/blower/trimmer from a gardener mate.
I'd recomend the cameras. Made by Foscam and you can move them about via an app on your mobile. Just set it up so it emails me on motion detection etc. Quite impressive for the price.

Ironing board cover, last summer, 5 bucks. (Pattern starting to fade - caveat emptor).
Bag of Aborio Rice, Costco - less than a few bucks I should think.

Also, this guy. Amazon Kindle touch 3g.
Not very impressed with the 3g coverage and it's nowhere near as nice to hold/turn pages as the Kindle Keyboard. But still an awesome ereader. I settled for this as the Paperwhite is too far off yet.

Recently setup a garden 2 seater Swing Chair - just right for sitting outside, feet up, with a beer and a book and not getting toasted.
Currently looking what I am going to have to buy for other people for Christmas....
