    Some recent Android games I've enjoyed: Casting Away, Inventory Idle, Griddie Islands, and Fill-a-pix 📲

    Sep 6, 2023 • 15 mins • Android, Gaming

    A mixture of games, can it be true!? A fishing game, an idle game, a Tetromino-y merge-y game, and a logic puzzle game! The games are mostly from Google Play’s rather chaotic recommendations, hence a bit of variety for once.

    Whilst scrolling Instagram recently, I saw a sponsored post to tour an Amazon factory. As someone who uses Amazon heavily, I was intrigued. This unfortunately turned out to just be a virtual tour, but I still decided to give it a go! And no, this isn’t a sponsored post, I promise 😅

    What house can you afford? A calculator to simplify all house buying & selling calculations in the UK 🏡

    Jul 15, 2023 • 9 mins • Finance, Spreadsheet

    Back in February this year, I completed the purchase of a house after owning a flat for a few years. Both of these properties had mortgages, leading to terrifying yet complex calculations that were absolutely crucial yet had no simple explanation! To solve this, I created a spreadsheet with all house-related calculations (e.g. budget), here’s an anonymised version.

    Jul 4, 2023 • 15 mins • Android, Gaming

    The last couple of months have seen a lot less time spent mobile gaming, mostly due to r/incremental_games temporarily shutting down. Despite that, I’ve still had a great time with a few games, with only one of them being an incremental / idle game this time!

    Analysing your Netflix viewing history: How much have you watched, when, and how?

    With Netflix’s recent changes to account sharing, I was curious how my (shared!) account had been used over the last 10 years. To do this, I made a spreadsheet, and you can analyse your viewing history with it easily too!

    Using an income ratio spreadsheet & Splitwise to split household expenses fairly and transparently as a couple

    May 16, 2023 • 7 mins • Finance, Relationships

    Every couple I know has a different way of splitting their household finances, with the goal of making both sides contribute enough whilst also having financial independence. My partner and I use a method that handles bill increases, pay rises, and day to day purchases easily and fairly despite different incomes. Here’s an explanation and template, to save you trial and error!

    Had enough of Amazon wishlists? Here's a comparison of alternative services!

    May 11, 2023 • 8 mins • Amazon, Shopping

    For many years I’ve had a public Amazon wishlist that I can share with friends & family. I add to it throughout the year, and it lets people buy me things I’ll definitely love. This has worked well, but recently Amazon removed support for third party products… so here’s where to migrate to.

    May 5, 2023 • 13 mins • Android, Gaming

    As always, I’ve ended up playing almost exclusively “casual” incremental / idle mobile games recently! Luckily I’ve found a few that have been deeply enjoyable. I’ve completed(ish) all 3 after a period of semi-addiction, so I’ve also added a few tips for anyone looking for a helpful nudge.

    My year with Chase UK's current & savings accounts

    May 4, 2023 • 6 mins • Finance

    Chase is a relatively new addition to the UK banking market, and is owned by JP Morgan. They offer an app-only current account with cashback and a linked savings account, and in under a week (8th May) the unlimited cashback will be capped at £15/mo! As such, I thought I’d share my experiences over the last year, in case others are on the fence.

    I purchased a Flexispot E7 recently, and had a great experience with it. I then purchased an additional one for my partner and encountered an issue. After contacting support, replacement motors were sent, but with no instructions on how to fit them! Here’s the missing guide on how to replace Flexispot leg motors.
