    Happy new tv day I love getting new tech - have you picked a film out to watch this evening. 

    Shouldn’t have come on here not had one in a very long time but could just eat a kfc myself now ha.
    The other half is setting up the TV now. Well I say that. He is swearing at it a lot.

    It looks very big compared to the old TV!!

    Not picked a film out yet. Will find something later though.

    Haha what size tv does it replace? I’ve got a 65” tv (sounds massive I know. It was measured out and works in the room with where the sofa is) it replaced a 40” one I had in my old sitting room and it was like going to the cinema for first month or so lol.

    It's replacing a 40" so is considerably bigger.

    The TV is now set up and we have a couple of 4k films lined up to watch tonight to test it out.

    We have also cancelled our Amazon subscription. We have not been watching anything on Amazon for a while so that has gone now. Which just leaves us with Netflix and Freeview.

    Glad you’re enjoying the new TV, money well spent. When we first got ours it seemed massive compared to the previous one. I don’t watch much on Amazon but Mr SA does. I just need a few more hours in the day to watch all the things I’d like to.

    Ours looked massive the first time we put ours up on the wall but it does not look out of proportion in the room.  We have a 55 inch which replaced a 42 inch one.  They keep getting bigger or as DH jokes maybe it is our eyes getting worse. Enjoy the film.  I watched the Kate Humbles Coastal Walks on it tonight and it is  like being there.  Such a great picture.

    It will be a low spend day today. We are having a Chinese takeaway for dinner tonight but that should be the extent of the spending today.

    Full English for breakfast this morning. Going for the full works with bacon, sausage and black pudding, tattie scones, grilled chilli mushroom, grilled tomatoes, poached egg and beans washed down with a glass of orange juice and a cup of tea. 

    Going to take the dog out for a long walk to walk breakfast off and then when we get back we will put our old 40" 4k TV on Ebay. Should get something back for it.

    Then I guess we will settle in to watch some films with a few beers again later on.
