Yet more frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

I've had the breville version of that for about 10 years. Getting the pizza dough right is the important bit, so it doesn't rise into the hearing element.
I'd recommend throwing it away if you're trying to lose weight, though!

I’m lazy so I buy the frozen stuff from Tesco most of the time. It’s not too unhealthy depending what you stick on it. A low fat cheese isn’t too bad. I’m the horrible person that chucks on ham and pineapple or even worse spinach and an egg 😂

It is smaller than I first though, but I have a fascination with weather clocks and that was the screen that was on it on the advert.
The ultimate weather clock, the one I've coveted for years though, is this, in copper:

I've got one of these. I'm a sucker for pointless "analogue" toys.

Sorry for the post resurrection but we have one of these and it’s truly ace.

It was gifted as a wedding present and adorns the main wall In our kitchen. Looks class, keeps excellent time and as others have said it’s cool seeing the plates slide to display the changes in the weather.

We find it pretty accurate too, half the time the British weather itself doesn’t know what it’s doing! No idea how it actually works, some form of sorcery?!?

Think they do differing theme ones too, tide clocks look very cool.

My god, £445??? I clicked on that link thinking Max £75. And it's as thick as a cake tin. Each to their own. But it's not for me. Four hundred and forty five fking pounds?!?

unfortunately I clicked on the link before seeing your post - and had pretty much the same expectation and reaction. That said it is frivolous so...

Just bought a £23 night vision scope from Aliexpress

Works bloody well but the viewscreen is pretty small

?23.82 64%OFF | Monocular Night Vision Device 1080P HD Infrared Camera 5X Digital Light Zoom Hunting Telescope Outdoor Search Full Darkness 300m
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKqsXl8

Mine arrived today. Went and tested it just now works very well. For £23 it’s definitely worth the money I’d say

Showed this to my colleague as I know he likes his gadgets. He's only gone and bought it!

We both work night shift together doing security work. Absolutely knew he wouldn't be able to resist!

Just ordered one of those ninja creami machines. Will see if it actually works. Possibly just a fancy shaped blender, but people swear it makes nice ice cream etc. Will end up stuck in a cupboard.

Just Googled that, was it really 300 quid

So just a heads up as you may want to cancel it.......

Back in the spring I bought a Gastroback breadmaker for 130 quid (that is highly rated) as they do an ice cream maker attachment for around 40 quid (had to buy that from Amazon Germany as UK don't do them............




PS. the ice cream is ready to eat straight away with the Gastro

Nah cost me £130, normally 200. You put any ingredients in the freezer for a day. Then stick it in the machine and out comes ice cream in a minute lol.

You can even just freeze a can of fruit in syrup and turn it into sorbet haha. Apparently using low fat milk with some vanilla etc can create mega low fat Mr whippy and fire a protein shake in and you've got protein ice cream. Iv decided to wrap it up for her Christmas now so won't get to know what it's like until then... can't beat a "present for her" but for me... muaha

Stumbled on this in the Prime sale, £55 from £120 (it is usually around the £90 mark so whilst the saving was a bit exaggerated it was decent). As I've got a few other Mando helmets, and shall probably buy the Sabine Wren when it's released, I felt I should probably buy Bo Katan Kryze or I'd probably regret it.

It's not exactly the most expensive wall clock ever made? 😂
I wouldn't expect a British-made mechanical time piece to be cheap!

Bought a thermomix a few months ago when we were having our kitchen done. 12 weeks cooking in the utility wasn't going to be much fun so decided to get one on recommendation from a friend. It's not cheap, you can buy a good oven for less, but it's the best kitchen gadget I've ever had. It weighs, chops, sautés, cooks, whips...and has a self cleaning function. I use it constantly for soufflés, paella, risotto, sauces, curries, slow cooks and baking. Definitely didn't need it, now wouldn't be without it.

This is going to be my better half's Christmas present.

We're both foodies, but she's got a disability affecting her joints so there's some tasks she really struggles with during hr week.

Intention is this'll enable her to do much more, easier - and we can experiment at the weekend with some of the really fancy stuff it can do.

Glad to hear you think it's worth it!

Being discontinued. Prices on the up. Profiteering on eBay. Wholesalers out of stock.

I’m not making the same mistake I did with Texan bars..

They changed them for the worst a couple of years ago. Tasted like eating pure sugar, absolutely horrid. Not bought one since, but Cadbury Caramilk is now popping up over here and tastes much closer to the Caramac of the 80's.

I got a message saying Modern Warfare III / PS5 bundle is now on sale for £399.

A few moments later…

“I’m just popping out for a few minutes”

Well, that’s Christmas sorted.
