Thanks for the star Sue :staradmin:
I used the charger last night for the first time, it actually has 6 USB ports, not 4. I charged my phone and ipad and they both seemed fine. Will see if there's anything else I can load it with to test it.
My Blaze has lasted another day. Still going. I suppose it all depends on how much you 'play' with it too. I'm trying to ignore the fact that the step count is on there and not look at it too much. I like the fact it has the time aswell as I was terrible for putting my watch on.
Welcome hopefuljoy, glad to see someone else joining us. We're a chatty bunch although I should really pop in more than I do.
Azzzaa, I have no idea what I'm going to spend it on. I have a loan to pay off but I'm also going to Copenhagen on opening day for a long weekend so it might be spent enjoying that a little more than we normally would. And of course there's Christmas to think about. Would be nice just to have the extra to spend on me though after all the hard work!
Speaking of loans, I've had a full payment taken this month for a loan that is completed (I did a bit of juggling and took a new loan at a lower interest rate and then I will be overpaying to the same amount as the one I paid off). They will be getting the sharp side of my tongue at lunchtime when I can give them a call!No longer ...tobe!

I only registered today as I saw the link in Martins Email,
I dont have fitbit as I'm mobility challenged after my hip replacement but I do swim so I have a misfit speedo, which counts my swims, and steps, and more importantly my sleep cycle. so I have registered that....
:0)
Can i ask what the sleep tracking is like? I have a Garmin vivosmart which i love. I bought my mum one but the sleep doesn't seem to work for her. I'd like to get her something better if you wouldn't mind giving me your opinion.32b3in2013 wrote: »Evening
Peanut butter M&Ms are my fav. You can get them in tesco in the food from abroad aisle, but they charge a fortune for them. The also have them in a shop round the corner from my office, but they change around £6 per bag in there so that's a no-no too!! I stock up when I go to NY, but the more I buy the more I eat. Westie, they might have the almond ones in tesco too. Are they in a beige bag? My peanut butter ones are in an orange bag.
25p potted today.

Sue-UU I'm sorry to hear about your friend

crimson.addict the fact you're still potting is what counts
I withdrew a £10 note the other day but haven't spent it yet nor can I remember why I even needed £10 in cash in the first place :think: Regardless, it wasn't spent so has gone into the pot :dance:
I keep looking at my bank balance and wondering why it looks so healthy with all this potting :rotfl:SPC - #483 [banked £134.15] - :staradmin :staradmin gold stars from Sue-UU!

Good morning everyone.
I've not updated for quite a while but I am now up to £173.01 as I received a £10 Amazon credit for doing a survey and I add any credits/vouchers to my pot. I've also got lots of loose change in a another pot but I won't know how much is in that until it is full.Books - the original virtual reality.0 -

The sleep tracking on Fitbit is now automatic. With the flex you can put it into sleep mode yourself aswell (not sure about other models) but with the more recent software upgrades it automatically tracks it. I'd also say from looking at my sleep on the app it's fairly accurate, although sometimes I know I've been restless, like when I kick DH out of bed to go and see to the wee man, and it's not registered that. All in all, I think the sleep tracking is fine.
DH had the vivosmart but I didn't think the sleep was as good on it as the Fitbit as he had to put it into sleep mode from the app if I remember rightly and it didn't track aswell as the Fitbit does.No longer ...tobe!

That's what i meant haha. I will look next time i'm in and let you know the size and price. I'd be happy to post them to you if it would make you happy

It is and i'm certainly not giving that up! I had to cash in all my £1 and 50ps the other week because we had no change, it about killed me!! The notes are back in the pot but it just means it's not as full now. They wanted my £2 coins too but that is where i drew the line hahaMrsC....tobe wrote: »The sleep tracking on Fitbit is now automatic.

My vivosmart sleep tracker is automatic, maybe they changed it. It's fine for what i want but for some reason it doesn't work for my mummy. Who knows! I'm just trying to find something else without spending another £100+
My plan is to make lunch every day next week for me and the OH. Unfortunately a sandwich wont fill him up like it would me. I'm going to have to cook for him i think. Anyone have any ideas?
I need to empty my purse tonight, it's getting quite full of change
