C'mon, we've all done it...gone out and returned with an outrageous and totally unplanned purchase! Mine has to be when I went out to get some touch up paint, and ended up buying a whole car! LMP is not exempt either..in addition to the random purchase of endless handbags and shoes too high to ever be practical (lol), I came home one evening and was told that meals out, pubs, etc etc were going to be off for a while as herself had been at a garden centre and ended up buying a hot tub!!!!

What about other FC members? What have you been and bought on pure impulse and got into trouble for? Whistle

Radio controlled Spitfire too!!

And I too went out to buy a second hand car and came home with a new one (wasn't even a clever sales man either)

But by far the worse , I paid off my mortgage completely when I went in to see about upping my payments so that it could be paid off a lot quicker, but boy oh boy was it paid off a lot quicker!!

(Please nobody come near me with a boat and trailer for sale !!!)

About this time last year it was Fireworks, I got a little carried away.

I was intending spending £50.00 or so, I ended up spending £250.00

Still got about half left for this year, I've yet to raise the subject with Mrs SJNovis, but I think I might need some more rockets though!
