Hi Hollie. I've bought the Summer infant baby zoom digital monitor for Baby no.1 due end of the month. Reasons: (1) my husband will be overseas until spring and we live in a large-ish house so being able to flick the screen on and see the little one will save me endless trips upstairs and means I won't disturb he/she (2) I didn't want to get a sensor one as I think it would make me too paranoid (3) I want to move Baby into it's own room within a couple of months (maybe sooner) so figure the monitor option will let me check things are ok without having to go into the nursery. Not sure if any of that helps but the monitor was recommended by several friends who have been thrilled with it.

I too have the BT 150 monitor and can highly recommend...she is now 11 months and we have used it abroad often and at various peoples houses as well as at a wedding...when it's out of the charging dock the battery lasts a long time and it picks up everything you need to hear.


Personally I did not want to get a sensor one as I think they make you paranoid and pick up all sorts of things that will just keep you awake at night and a video sensor is down to personal opinion.


I now have it on the low volume at night so I only hear her if she actually cries rather than her shuffling around. The only gripe I would say is that it is quite bright if you have it on your bedside table - so i tend to cover it with my iPhone cover or a sock!

I got the Angel Care sensor pad and monitor. I've never really understood the theory that sensor pads make you paranoid. Opposite effect for me, I've been really happy with it and it stopped me being paranoid. Reassuring to be able to see the pendulum swinging at a glance, especially the first time they sleep through the night ;-)

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
