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

Popped into Ikea on the way home tonight, and managed to spend £129
Most frivolous purchases were a £7.50 electric scewdriver (it'll probably be crap), and a clock thing that, depending on which edge you stand it on, is a clock, thermometer, countdown timer and alarm clock. For £4.50 I thought it was an irresistible purchase.
Love Ikea's naming system. Somewhere in an office sits a team who are charged with naming things. "What shall we call the electric screwdriver?" 'I know! skruvmejsel!" "Nah, lets call it 'Fixa"Most frivolous purchases were a £7.50 electric scewdriver (it'll probably be crap), and a clock thing that, depending on which edge you stand it on, is a clock, thermometer, countdown timer and alarm clock.

The best were the drinks coasters (I think it was) called Boozi. Give over - you're taking the piss aren't you. Brilliant.

Another new lifejacket.
I got the Crewsaver Ergofit Offshore 190 when I started doing some RIB driving, it is great, and I got a really good deal on it, at the time the only one better was the Spinlock Deckvest 275. Lo and behold Spinlock are selling their old models on ebay for £100 (full retail was about £250) so I have ordered one.
I will pass my Crewsaver onto my girlfriend when I buy a boat (she's only slightly built, 190n will be more than enough for her).
