The LLs are magic. They make it so it's like my annoying af neighbours do not exist. The 1100s on the other hand don't stay in place at all. Thank god I only paid a little over £5 for the 100! Though it was dumb of me not to try a pair straight away :fp: "They're 3M! How much worse could they be?" strawberry floating idiot.

You tried silicone ones like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hush-Pairs-Plu ... 346&sr=8-6 Always found them much better than those foam ones that just fall out of my ears eventually. You roll them into a ball to warm them up then press them over your ear hole so they mould around it and form a seal.

Cancelled my order for the foam ones (I still have a few left and that'll be plenty for two months or so given the fact I reuse them but also don't have to use them every night) and bought a batch of the wax. They were certainly cheap enough and had lots of good reviews, too.

I just use silicone flange style ones. They're easy to wash and don't pollute the waste stream. They also have a hole for equalising pressure in your ears and don't totally block out all sound which is helpful in most situations and possibly reduces build up of moisture which might lead to ear infections.

I don't really see the need for 100 pairs of anything to be honest.

I also got given these for everyday/outdoor use as you shouldn't block your ears on streets, and they're amazing for my ASC hypersensitivity.

Speaking of Uniqlo, went to order a winter jacket a week or so ago, but it was late in the evening and i accidentally ordered a hoodie (same colour) instead.

Anyways, i found you couldn't cancel orders and just have to return error purchases, so anyways, i went and ordered the jacket i actually wanted, but when both items arrived, they were so awesome i kept them both.

This was the blocktech weatherproof parka...

...and this was the error hoodie...

Thought i'd better get a weatherproof one, so that i'll have something if i get to do my loch lomond tour next month.

I doubt the locals need new jackets each winter though, they probably just scrape the moss off the old ones.

Speaking of journals I've got my 2021 Hobonichi on the way from Japan via FedEx.

I founder a cheaper variety of Stevia sweetner :toot:

Truvia 270g jar = £5 (or best part of, anyway)

Castello Stevai 1kg jar = £11.70 - £14.15 (depending on the concentration split between stevia and erythritol)

Has the same granular texture as regular granular sugar/Truvia Spoonable. It's available on Amazon.

I grabbed stuff like A4 size LEUCHTTURM1917 and Moleskin Pro Collection for £6 each, normally £20+ :lol:

One or two of them are dotted which is such a fantastic way to do diagrams, layouts or furniture designs for example.

Plus something like £50 worth of Royal Langnickel & Daler Rowney paintbrushes for £15. I spent half of that on a good quality filbert shape a couple of months ago, now I have 6 or so and used them last night to finish off a sign I'm painting. Much better for painting edges than rounds.

Went in there just for fun, was pretty much hyperventilating through my facemask :slol:

For my partner even found a single limited edition Harry Potter hardback moleskin, again £5 or so rather than £15+.

I dislike having stacks of papers lying around though, enough journals to keep my gooseberry fool together and self-archived/easily referenced for the next 10 years or so. Had a neat little personal library going since uni in 2008.

I've paid full price for these things many times in the past, so it was a great shop :toot:
