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

I don't get these wallets.



Wow, a wallet with no receipts in it is smaller than one full of all sorts?

Where do you fit those receipts that everyone gets given, when the wallet is so small? Don't get me wrong, I like a good wallet, but this just seems impractical.

I keep the important ones, bin the others.
Rather than have a mass of receipts in my back pocket most of them are in a drawer in the kitchen, however it must be added that i hate having anything larger than a pack of ciggies in my pocket.

I am really hoping for a return to "smaller is better" phones at some point too.

I was presented with one of these, which is perfect for evenings. It's footprint is barely bigger than a credit card.. Couple of cards and a few notes is all you need.

Pricy for something so small, but it will last for ever and is beautifully made. I have Mont Blanc (which PHer doesn't?) and Aspinall wallets also, and Ettinger knocks them into a cocked hat.

Popped in to Homebase yesterday afternoon for some Strimmer cable.

Walked out with a Weber 57cm One Touch barbeque. And a chimney starter. And a curved warming rack. And a Cover. And some 'long lasting' briquettes.

Damn you Homebase and your 15% off days!

They didn't even have the Strimmer string in stock.

And as soon as I got home, it started to rain so no barbeque.

I already have a gas barbeque

Ooh! Like the TT - just have to get the man-maths calculator out now.

I've given up carrying a wallet, I have nothing to put in it anyway!!

Spending 120 quid on dash cams for the front and back isn't needed whatsoever. But, I cannot wait to install them.

Will be able to use one camera for downhill moutain biking. That's how I'm justifying it.

I frivolously bought this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CM8802FN-Coating-Thickness...



A CM8802FN Paint Thickness Gauge.

I only tickle my DA polisher over the car every 6 months, and I'm not a professional detailer by any stretch of the imagination!

[Bungleaio]

Does this count? I've wanted one for ages but I have no need for it.

Suddenly, my normal axe is no good any more. I MUST get one of these new ones!

Probably frivolously buy some wet and dry paper, end up getting it completely wrong and frivolously end up having to spend money on a full respray.

The starting/stacking "funnel" on Webers is an excellent bit of kit, and should have been invented/developed YEARS ago. Good buy.

[Sway]

Indeed, the inventor of the chimney starter deserves a medal for enabling men to look like fire starting alpha males...

I chucked some money in - halfheartedly as I didn't think it would hit target

Turns out it did - so that's my entry to this thread secured then!
