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

Because they run daily the grass doesn't grow enough to create clippings.
Mine's set at 3cm and it just keeps it constant.
No clippings, no getting back off holiday to long grass, not needed but I wouldn't want to be without one now.

Phone got stolen a few weeks ago, finally sorted out the insurance. Enough for another 16g Iphone 6.

And then bought an Iphone 6plus 64g that was significantly more than my payout (not an S, i'm not made of money), then a screen protector, then a case, then some bluetooth headphones, then some heavy duty charging cables, then another case i think i might prefer, then i had buyer remorse and decided that i needed to stop spending money and get back into the gym to ensure i don't go out too muchlook good when i go to australia at xmas and NYE (another sensible purchase).


Trainers, protein shakes, creatine and shorts.


Lets not mention kickstarter recently, except for that ring that acts as a contactless payment system in order to spen more bloody money.


I have self control issues.

Thought i'd treat myself to one of these.

Such a great idea but fooking hell.. I didn't realise they were so expensive.

Exactly.

It's a standard 3 bed detached, however, i can now also get wifi at the end of my road.

Top work!

One of those would mean I could sit in the cafe and still use my WiFi, though it would also mean that my heating wouldn't go off while I was out in the village.

Indeed, circa £800. Feck that, I'll wait till they come down in price.

'needed' a 2nd TV due to house renovation (so far so not frivolous) and was thinking 50/55" as we already have a great panasonic 65"... well lots of reading later and tinkering with the budget and man maths came up with this.... Samsung UE65JU6400.


https://www.avforums.com/review/samsung-ue55ju6400...

saw it advertised @ £1,599 @ John Lewis, got them to price match Debenhams (£1,525) and then did the £300 trade in of any 32" TV (offer ends today). Put in terms like that it really does seem quite reasonable and non-frivolous

I bought the same thing list night with the £300 trade-in discount.

Delivered next week. Now having buyers remorse...

Why does the head section make it look like a cutout instead of a full blown statue.

I bought the Sungod glasses from Kickstarter because of this thread. Wasn't amazed by them, but they're in the car as a spare pair.

Now they have a new project for ski goggles.
They look quite good so I've backed the project.

I got some fire iridium oakleys for £60 brand new... not sure that kickstarter is worth the money.

Followed that link and spotted these!

£648! Jesus what are they made out of solid gold??

[Du1point8]

Thats usually done when its not in stock and the price is simply raised by large amount to stop people buying it.

Worth trying their latest lenses out. Much improvement.

Mmmm I think the equivalent Oakley design is £135.

Anyway I work in manufacturing and I like the idea of backing people on kick-starter who are having a go!

There is some warm fuzzy feeling about it for me

Interesting it was the flat lenses that I had an issue with.

They do replacement lens kits now too.
