Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

[wijit]

I once bought a set of telephone cards (8) which made a mosaic picture of Marilyn Monroe for about £15. I had no idea until a couple of weeks later when they turned up.
Since then I have bought a box of shipping flares, a tennis ball and an autographed 50p.
I need to not go on the internet when drunk.....

looking for a replacement to the one I owned for 24 hours before selling to the folks.

Was told about these today and have ordered one.



It's a tiny little robot that you can control / program from your smartphone.

[IanUAE]

Ordered not 1, not 2 but 3 of these:



Idea being 1 for, 1 for the wife and 1 for the son. 2 out 3 will never get used.

Happy Christmas family LoL

Just bought one of these, don't need it, it will be a spare car for shooting to the shops or stuff - so cheap its got to be worth a play with.

What's the range like on them? Id like an electric car for my commute but 28 miles each way over country roads with no charging point at work means its probably not realistic yet.

100-150 depending on weather it looks like to me.

Kinda bought myself the same games console I got for Christmas in 1982. Sad, I know. Pure nostalgia.

Is the deal really as straightforward as that? Can you point us at it please?

Thanks - costs have moved very slightly but still seems a very good deal. I may end up commuting in the new year and I think that one of these will beat the train hands-down for cost, convenience and ambience, to the extent that I'd be prepared to put up with a few traffic jams. Would have to watch the mileage, but still...

I bought 2 very nice Harris Tweed jackets in TK Maxx yesterday!

Don't need them, but...they are (reasonably) cheap and I'd wager a good investment.

Yesterday i bought one of those pocket recharger things that were linked above.

Today my iphone broke.

I think i might need an iphone 6 to go with my new charger even though i am now using a perfectly serviceable blackberry.

2x Logitech programmable remotes (I had a 30% off voucher)
I already have one programmable that works (but the battery is dying) and another that won't control one of my devices but I also have separate controls for everything.

Evening all!

Moving ever-so-slightly off topic...

The wingback website looks pretty slick, especially the banner page.

Anyone asks to tell the 'type' of page? (Custom/template etc). Some tecchie buzz word I could googke would get me tres edited!

Thanks!

step-daughter came back from uni "my Galaxy Tab 7 has stopped working" (the 2nd in 2 years) so unwilling to shell out for another new one (which she'll ruin) we've decided she'll get my old Tab 2 (10.1") and I've been forced to get a Galaxy tab 12.2

Such a shame.

Quad copter with a camera built in, couldn't resist at £34!

Looking forward to getting some aerial footage outside.
