I've just spent £600+ on a new kayak and kit which she wasn't overly impressed with. I tempered it with my quote that If I added all the money she spent on haircuts (£80 a pop for goodness sake!) and cosmetics throughout the year It would be about the same cost if not more, cue blustering nonsensical response :clap2: She had to concede defeat! Impulse purchases are always best done when you have some ammunition in storage to fire back at them! I'm banking the trip to New York for her birthday i've organised for a later treat for me haha.

A second-hand pair of white Levi 501's from a market that I didn't even try on, just went with the label size, as there was a bus due, and when I got home noticed the IRREGULAR stamp inside!!!! Hence the 'non-fit' :cry:

have you ever bought something expensive on impulse that has landed you in trouble with the missus ?

I did on Monday which although my wife is still talking to me ( just ) she is a little pissed off with me.

I've wanted a Breitling watch now for a little while and saw the one I wanted in Brighton that was originally £1900 reduced to £1100 so I bought it. I thought it to be a bloody good saving.

So has an impulse buy ever landed you in a spot of bother ?



so which Breitling model was it ?

I saw a *real* Breitling at the sunday market in Teguise, Lanzarote last year.

A splendid African chappie was selling it for just £40.

At least he *told* me that it was real..:lolol:

I bought myself a new watch last week, but it didn't cost NEARLY as much as £1100.

That's inflation for you :)

I went to that market Xmas '03 and they were doing a 'Rolex' for €15 :ohmy:
 








True story. I was out on a x-mas pub crawl with a mate of mine in London. We ended up in a HMV (a bit pissed) and I spied the entire James Bond DVD Collection. I immediately bought the set. Proud as punch we continued on our pub crawl and finally ended up home were I proudly proclaimed my impulse purchase to my then wife.She crossed her arms and snidely told me we didn't own a dvd player. DOH! :D

Should have bought a Hustler mag instead, it would have raised a few eyebrows on the train. :laugh:
