Samsung flatscreen monitor (colour)

The on/off switch can be erratic since the button fell off, but it’s no bother to cut the power at the mains. Happy to supply power/VGA connection cables, but they have been gnawed slightly by my mum’s cat. It’s what he does.

Mousemat with picture of truck

Do you use mousemats? Do you love really big trucks? Then you’ll love this! This mousemat was produced as promotional material for Terex Trucks. The picture is of a really big truck creating major spray as it ploughs, fully laden with rocks and stones, through a really big muddy puddle. The driver is wearing a hi-vis vest. The photography is great, but I only use mousemats with built-in wrist support on account of my tendency to get RSI.

Used once.
