    I upgraded Mrs Hermit from my old Lumia 800 to a shiny new Lumia 735 last week. She has since rediscovered the joys of Wordament, so is well pleased with it.

    On the plus side, as part of their Christmas promotion, I get £20 of xbox credit.

    After two years with a flakey computer that would work fine but usually crash within 5 to 10 minutes when you tried to play a game on it, I upgraded to a new motherboard and CPU. I can finally play games again instead of just talking about them here on the forum.

    I prefer a small shop bought tree, complete with a mini string of lights and decorations.
    It saves having to put them up myself.
    Horses for courses though.

    A bit mercenary, but congrats I guess?

    I don't have any decorations up.

    Not anymore.

    Dog decided they didn't fit the décor, and would look much better in tatters on the floor.

    @theroneffs Running Windows 7 for several years, I can't identify with any of the problems you raise. Serves me perfectly well, never have to fight with it, never lose anything, runs off an SSD, an i7 and 8 gig of ram so is lightening fast. Sits quietly in the background and does its job. Just like a good OS should.

    I also have a shitty spec work PC running Windows off an old creaking IDE drive. It's not really a fair comparison.

    Got a cat. I'm a cat lover through and through, and just having him around has massively improved my happiness.

    Although cleaning up his poorly aimed sloppy shite this morning wasn't the best start to the day admittedly...
    I got a cat in May this year but would like to upgrade him to a dog

    So all games now run perfectly on mac's?

    Dogs are pretty cool too... My long term plan is to get a second cat, then a few years down the line when we've upgraded to a bigger/more rural house get a rottie as a pup (or rehome one that gets on with cats)

    We got a fridge that has a water filter and ice machine, it even has a crushed-ice option.

    I finally uncovered what it was like to be a women today as they want to buy unlimited amounts of bags...I revealed my inner womeness when I upgraded my 2011 headset to a Kingston HyperX Cloud headset thats coming around Christmas.

    Very big upgrade...and buying myself a laptop for school next year. Upgrades are shiny and yay.

    Using wet wipes instead of normal bog roll after having a curry. I now eat loads more spicy food because the salvage operation the next day is a breeze with a pack of baby wipes knocking around.

    It has really turned my life around.
    You should bear in mind that wet wipes don't break up like tissue paper so you may end up with blockages in your drains if you continue to flush them. Sorry to ruin your bumhole.

    A tumble drier has transformed my life immeasurably.

    Get lots of dog waste bags and use those. Get a dog if you do not have a dog so that you can surreptitiously use dog shit bins. Teach dog to shit in toilet to ensure you do not run out of bags but do not teach dog to eat spicy food.

    Apparently the wet wipes thing is quite a common problem for the water supply agencies as most people just flush them and it leads to all kinds of problems both in your drains and further down the line.

    Mmmm, I'm not sure if using wet wipes is an upgrade, or just being an utter fucking sissy.

    Getting expensive bed sheets was a very good investment as well.

    On the tech side going from a PC with no hard drive to one equipped with the very latest 20Mb bad boy was fairly amazing. Now when I see 32 GB USB flash drives I believe they are the work of the devil.

    Treat your ring.
    You'll be telling me next you keep them in the fridge.

    Learning to cook. That was a biggie. And on the same note going from a bog-standard block of kitchen knives to Wusthoff knives and learning how to properly maintain them to keep their sharpness…for cooking purposes I mean, honest.

    Oh and just to be really boring, getting a Miele vacuum cleaner - the suction on that thing…for cleaning purposes, honest!

    If you're wet enough to need a baby wipe for your precios little ring, you're probably not the kind of guy who'll be happy lifting a lateral drain cover and rodding the blockage while up to your ankles in sewage.
