I just ordered one of these, straight from BMW. Not my picture but looks exactly the same bar the wheels. 335i in Alpine White. Ecstatic to say the least.

Extending the wireless

Needing to extend the wireless in the house. Airport express and mount (most likely going on the back of the tv in the living room..)

Does this make the WiFi faster even if you're in fairly good signal? Downstairs, near the router, I get around 70Mbps (125 over ethernet :( ), yet one floor up almost directly above it I get 20Mbps. Reckon if I plugged one in sorta equidistant between the two it'd help?

My last purchase was a new pen, after the clip became loose on my old one and it fell out of my pocket while I was walking.

Originally wanted this colour, but could only find the glossy chiselled design before. Was sort of a bittersweet moment losing it, as at least it meant I could treat myself to a new one! Plus, this matches by black iPhone 5 almost exactly, so it's basically Batman's stealth phone-pen combo :p

Only £29, not too extravagant. Only a pen after all!

I'm not certain on this, but I don't think you would get the full 70 (might be downgraded to 50-60) unless you are hardwired from the router to the express (which should top you out at 70). I think it will definitely help you get more than 20, even if extended wirelessly.

Signal booster/extenders have helped with this issue in my household, I now get around 18 in my room upstairs, where pre-booster I was getting 4-5. It helps, but it's not a HUGE change.

Oh nothing just the actual tactical "throwing" knife used in Call Of Duty Ghosts...the MX-8054. Really like the aggressive geometry of it, and $30 for this is a pretty damn good deal. Not that it's as sharp as I thought it would be though.

The drill is for the (very) occasional home project.

The washcloths are for that once a month shower...whether I need it or not!:p

Replaced my old Black and Decker Toaster Oven with this Breville Mini Smart Oven, Model # BOV450XL. Got it at Bed Bath & Beyond for $119.99 with my 20% off coupon. Very happy with it's performance so far :)

I'm almost as envious of the purchase as I am of your ability to use it.

I have a huge love quality pens and the world's worst penmanship.

Love me some Breville! Got the one with the convection feature myself (a must if you plan on baking), and I couldn't be happier. Great performing ovens.
