Post apocalypse payday !!!! What's being bought then ?

Post by weeksy »

So we're not spending on fuel, we're not spending on eating out, days out, etc.

So we all (not all, as some are struggling of course) must have some spare cash for at least this month to splurge ?

Are we all going nuts ? Or are we saving just in case ?

maybe.... without pics though it's hard to say... Lets see your stock :)

Would you do bespoke stuff ? I'd like a clock for the garage made out of cycling chain rings and chain for example.

Its quite a big thing.. :D As far as bespoke stuff, yes, if its steel, I cant do stainless or aluminium yet although I thought I had a plan for that before the world ended.. Maybe that will still come off, but not for a while now.

I recently finished a baritone guitar build and a couple of days ago I scored a Fender Baja neck off the bay,so it'll be going on something fairly soon. Not big money involved in anything,but keeps me amused.

The wife decided that she wanted to do some shopping as stuff was on sale and she liked it. Clothing she likes from a shop she normally does not shop from because it tends to be stupid expensive. I bought a black suit! Arrived quickly and fits me well. Will fit better when I am not such a porker too!

Actually, that’s not a bad idea!

When all the numbnuts are scrabbling for bogroll in the supermarket, I can stroll in and take my pick in media markt!

Sorted!

thing is, i really can´t think of anything i need to buy for the lardmobile now, as i´ve got it just as i wanted it.

though if a set of FZR750r six pot calipers was to come up, i´d probably be all over them like a pisshead on a kebab.

it´s what the spanish call a `capricho´ - something frivolous but fun you want

I've pissed 5-600 quid up the wall on toys before the lock down, I ain't not risking anything else for a while. :silent:

I'm on 80% of my meagre wage, and I may be made redundant before all this is over. There will be no frivolous spending

Sadly a toy free year for me. We need to spend some money on the house, essential maintenance to the roof and I was supposed to do a complete makeover to the bathroom about 7 years or more ago. So I'm going to spend money on some really boring things.

That's two of us then, I think it's brilliant and I'd love it, even though I don't think I've really got the right sort of place for it.
I am very tempted to ask him how many English pounds might be needed to own it, but I'm stopping short just in case it sounds reasonable...

Nothing too exciting after all. A pair of MTB gloves.

I debated a 29er MTB frame but nah

Well that is a question of perspective... :mrgreen:
I also have done a hare that is slightly more reasonable and also doesn't overpower a room. Also Im going to be doing a horse (What, in front of all these nice people? :shock: ) and whatever else anyone wants...

The stag does have a certain presence though
