Frivolous purchases...

[Speicher]

No snow here, but the c*r is snug and dry in the garage, for the first time since October.

A key ring with a miniature John Deere tractor attached.

The real thing would be a lot more extravagent! I love tractors and we used to have a Ford Dexta! Spent a little time turning hay etc!

I keep my large calendars for doodling on the reverse of the picture. That might be too glossy for afficionados tho'.

One of my friends used to use old calendars for wrapping presents in! You would have to know the receiver quite well for that I think.

That's an excellent idea Campfire, thanks!

My mum heard a bit on the radio about a lady who keeps the labels off the tins she recycles and cobbles together a notepad for her shopping lists.

I'm trying to build a little tractor.

Sunglasses buy way too many.

Shop in Glasgow sells Oliver Peoples that not many people know. Have too many of them and others.

Got remote control with it. It's grrrreat! Car is in the garage now awaiting all this forecast snow. Still a fair few inches lying from before Christmas.

I have a remote control garage door opener too, but I didn't consider that frivilous, I considered it a must, especially when heading out to the gym, at 6.30am on a really cold morning, saves me getting out of the c*r to close the garage door again

Having stared financial ruin in the face no purchase is ever frivolous and is always carefully considered, no matter what it costs. However I am a sucker for DKNY, so will happily spend money on it, knowing its very well made, looks great and will last a long time. Also cheap make up and perfume is a no-no. It's clinique or better...

You see, to me, any make up or perfume is a fivolous purchase, cheap or good quality....

POLAR CS200CAD Cycling Computer

Positioning the Cadence sensor correctly made me wonder what was the bl**dy point -because it took so long

A Fordson Dexta is the January pic on my 2010 Vintage Tractors calendar I'd love one but would prefer a David Brown Cropmaster.

All of my six classic motorbikes. I've managed a grand total of 1100 miles this year.

Blimey they are keen on protecting their images of farm machinery

 

[Hilldodger]

That's a Cropmaster and not the Dexta in the calendar.

I thought everyone would know that

 

[longers]

We can't see either tractor though, it just says you're very naughty!

I've got one of these in our new house. Because of it (and the attachments to the garage door) there is no way our car (Citreon C4 Picasso Grand) would fit. A garage isn't for a car anyway!

However, it is great for the bike. I cycle up, dismount and start walking down the driveway whilst hitting the remote button. I then slide my bike in and remotely close the garage. Very, very cool!
