Non frivolous purchases, stuff you do need

[toasty]

So the last Mac broke and I had to buy another vaguely frivolous upgraded Mac in its place.

Of course, when I got the fker home, it didn't have the same ports as the previous model and now I've had to buy 2 of these adapters at a suitably exorbitant Apple cost.



I hate non frivolous purchases.

Shaving gel. Sick of buying it.

My shower curtain rail broke, it's an L shaped rail and the two mounts snapped off - 2p worth of plastic needed £20 of new rail to get hold of new mounts. Mildly annoying but I couldn't find the original manufacturer (it was part of the house when it was new).

Heinz Beanz with Pork Sausages.

Needed 5 days a week or whenever I'm eating lunch at home.

You could go frivolous with that and get some of this.

Not just yet. Would end up looking like some hipster.

After finding, yet another, big puddle under the kettle today I've just ordered one of these



Non frivolous, yet slightly frivolous.

Maybe I should start another thread

Cleaned the garage over the weekend.

Having done so, I was somewhat unhappy to realize I was tracking dirt throughout the house, so had to clean the garage floor.

This meant I had to buy...a mop, as the house mops are extremely light duty pad mops, instead of something you can wring out.

Oh, and a mop bucket.

A new boiler. Surely the least enjoyable way to spend £1000. At least throwing the money out of the window you'd see the scrabbling mass, the hate-filled faces. I have spent a cool grand on acquiring the resumption of an equitable temperature.

I've had a weekend of non-frivolous shopping.
A heavy duty stapler, staples and some webbing to repair my garden swing seat.
A new doorbell.
A new pushbike for my daughter.

I bought a cheese and onion pasty yesterday to restore the balance a bit. #Livingthedream

Probably need a new control panel for my combi boiler at home.

Do you set it to 26 degrees so it's like 'st, 26 degrees, we got to crank out some serious heat'?!!

Strewth - a grand on a boiler! That's a good price.

Care to pass on your plumber's number?

Football boots and trainers for my children's PE lessons.

All the more painful as my son is now in a size 6 and so VAT is payable.

Forgot I need tyres for my car that 4 x £102

Not even something new and shiny. Upgrades I like maintenance no so.
