Self-indulgent extravagances

[Brandane]

Five bikes!
Including an e-bike which I bought new this year and don't really "need" it yet. I'm calling it an investment for my future.

Apart from bikes, maybe coffee. I don’t care how expensive it gets or what I have to do to whom to get it, but I’m not drinking bad coffee.

And good bibs as well.

Nothing.
I will be single for the rest of my life, there will never be children. I have no desire to ever get on a plane again, or for far-flung foreign travel. I have no interest in fashion, expensive watches, or preserving looks I never had. My savings are hopefully going to the beneficiaries of my will. So I refuse to define anything I do spend as being self-indulgent or extravagant. I try and buy decent quality products at a decent price & make them last. I have a hankering for a velomobile (or two) & a Moulton (or two) but unlikely ever to spend that money. Other people's children are welcome to shoes at my expense.

You sound awfully like me!

I own an Alfa Romeo...

Your indulgence is visiting mechanics?

You sound awfully like me!

and me. Always been happily single and have never been out of Britain! I lead a very quiet, slightly antisocial existence but I’m perfectly happy. I have several bikes and I love my gadgets, decent tvs, computers, iPads, Apple Watch etc. Just me and the cat 🐈‍⬛

Just bikes, I love bikes, I have 18!
Certainly don’t need them all but I can’t help myself.

Small cans of tonic water for my gin. I got fed up with the plastic bottles going flat.

Good tip! Otherwise you have to empty the bottle.

Yep! You got it in one - and their bills are certainly extravagant!!

Internet.

After bad experiences with cheaper providers (Tesco, Sky, Post Office) I bought BT. Its expensive compared to those but the service is excellent, when it went wrong couple months back they bent over backwards to keep me online. Well worth it.

I'm very cheap to run, but probably like most on here, bikes and bike stuff is my weakness. Koga world traveller has been in my cross hairs for some time now. Maybe even the E version for some real fun and travel adventures.

Good meals out with friends and family

No children so my money is mine to spend as I wish (other than on cat food, vets bills)

Got a few old motorcycles (and a scooter) my campervan and my season ticket for the Wolves, the rest I waste on going down the pub!

 

[Big John]

Twinings Earl Grey teabags but only when they're on special at Sainsbury's 👍

 

[Cycleops]

Veuve Clicquot, HO scale locomotives with sound and the occasional old bike.

At one point in my life, when I was an Alfa enthusiast I had five on the drive.

Is that so you had enough parts to make one complete driveable one?
