It’s been a heavy year for frivolous purchases so far…
320 BHP for my 5 minute commute to the station! (much fun though)
So go on then, what did you lot buy that was stupidly expensive, useless, cool, etc?

My Iron Man suit was my last BIG purchase that I didn’t need. Fun for Comic-con and Marvel film showings though. FB_IMG_1507056220644|375x500

Nothing much lately, though I think next month will be full of such purchases - I’m in love with how the new MacBook looks so I’m definitely buying that (replacing my 2013 MacBook Pro) and possibly an iPhone 8 as well.

not one particular purchase, but I keep buying old cameras and lenses on eBay, MAKE IT STOP 
A comic that cost me £400…but got it signed and now worth 1500!
A top spec MacBook Pro 2017 15” when I only got a 2015 model 7 months before hand…
iPhone X…
Also quite a lot on rare beers 
I buy a lot I “don’t” really need…

I purchased around £1150 worth of upgrades for my computer this year… Worth it.

Gave mine close to 5! And still only pain! Great how we pay dentists to hurt us!
The other day when filling up the car, I thought f*** it - and bought a Snickers.

I wanna buy a 4K tv but the that means I have to upgrade my AV unit, was looking at this as an upgrade but seems unavailable
Try here: http://petertyson.co.uk/index.php/yamaha-rx-v781.html £20 cheaper than Amazon’s £469 price.
I had a lovely Onkyo 5.1 AV receiver before we remodelled the living room years ago but was not allowed to use it “because of the noise”. The Bluetooth headphones are a Christmas present to keep us both happy. SWMBO has the hearing of a bat, whereas mine is of a chicken nugget

- New 27" imac (complete overkill but given that I only use it for web surfing and MS Office it should be good for many years). Though saved 10% on the price using my uni work email address
- Lots of craft beers
- Tickets to the World Darts Championship
Was thinking about replacing my year old iPhone 7 but thing I’ll hold off and bung £30-40/month into a phone pot on my Monzo to put this off until next Xmas.
Replaced our 37inch lcd with a 55inch 4K HDR LED tv that we really didn’t need (spec or size) and a 4K Apple TV to go with it.
Still not sure how I justified it to the missus.

Still looking at that 55 inch OLED that’s been on offer in a few places. I’m not at all sure I can justify it…
As an ex-American living in Britain, I can assure you money spent for a dentist is neither extravagant nor wasted.
