The rest of my copper pans arrived.

I have identified a problem with compulsive collecting of shiny things, in a magpie-like fashion. This year, I will be seeking help.

I see your collection is so big you've had to store some in the garden!

Double boxed 99% of the time are a rip off, these surprisingly appeared cheap for them. Shop Disney U.K. trends to be cheaper than the parks when they stock things.

Was some really cool phantom manor stuff last week at DLP kinda wish I’d got the Chip and dale candlestick pins.
Tell me about it DLP wasn’t so bad as I’d got the 20% annual pass discount so between that and the euro exchange rate purchases did work out cheaper than shop Disney. There were also a lot more exclusive items

I was also in California in November, now that was a different story. Almost everything they were selling was not exclusive and massively cheaper on SD uk. I wanted to buy a Star Wars Christmas wreath from the park. It was about $70. Sent a pic to my daughter who replied to say please don’t. It’s £30 on shop Disney. By the time I was home at the end of the month it had been reduced to £15.
I bought virtually nothing back from park. A few mansion bits from hot topic were pretty much it.

Not a huge amount of PM stuff last month, hopefully then there will be more by May! Small World will have reopened too which is my other collecting weakness hehe

Those wheels are absolutely gorgeous, far classier than the OEM ones smile

Just unboxed an FP of my own from last week - this absolutely brilliant print paying homage to certain events of 1992. Pay close attention to the livery hehe

Ooh, that looks cool.

I fitted aftermarket wheels on my warm Audi, for the winter tyres. Sadly the bronze colour is not lairy enough for my tastes and I should have gone for gold!

BBS are just the best, too.

In my frivolous purchasing mode, NAD C298 Power amp, rather than recapping my old Musical Fidelity. And I am glad I did. It's not even run in yet, and it's amazing. Even if it looks like a cheap piece of plastic next to the beautiful MF integrated in view at the bottom of the hifi rack.

The latter is still sitting in the rack as my wife, who understands neither frivolous purchasing neither hoarding, said "well the old one can't go in the loft in its huge box as there's no space, so you need to implement to do a one in, one out policy".

I refuse. It can stay in the rack, looking pretty.

I wet shave my head. Its quick, easy in the shower and does a perfect job that i probably will never beat.

Even then on a whim iv just ordered the pitbull gold pro electric head shaver for around £100.... I just wanted to see the difference while in the shower to the perfection of a razor. Suppose I can shave my face with it if I ever decide not to have a beard..

As a fellow head shaver I'm interested to hear your review of this. I looked at a few options recently and this was top of the list but didn't want to commit the funds without an honest review.
