I've Just Splashed Out

[tiggerblue10]

I've bought a Dyson Animal Cordless from Amazon using my long service vouchers and the Google Nexus 7 2013 from PCWorld with cashback.

These are my Xmas pressies to myself :o)

I very rarely splash out like this but its made me happy. What was the last thing you spent loads on?

A new car on Oct 1st, tigger. Hope you enjoy your Christmas pressies.

Well I would say my bike but I think the bill for my new specs might just be higher... :-(

[tiggerblue10]

Oooo very nice Tony :o)

I'm sure I will. My current vacuum is becoming more and more heavier to carry upstairs!

[sunny-dave]

An iPad - the trouble is I now want an iPhone, an iMac - but probably not an iRon ....

[tiggerblue10]

Are they designer, gness?

[sherrardk]

I never spend money on myself (still haven't even replaced the broken screen on my iPad) but himself did buy me a new iPhone (I think it was in lieu of a thank you for looking after him when he was poorly). Enjoy your Nexus, oy #1 has one and loves it.

Bill Clinton once splashed out on a dress I hear;-)

[tiggerblue10]

Took me a few seconds to get the iRon bit! lol

[tonyav]

Those Dyson animal cordless vacs look pretty light to me, tiggs, much easier to lug up the stairs.

What type of specs, gness ?.

[gness]

No, Tigger...I never buy designer....the frames are not too bad but I need lots of fiddling with the lenses and the price gets higher and higher....

[gness]

Just varifocals, Tony...but I need bits extra in them...

[tonyav]

Ah right then gness, useful for bike riding then.

[tiggerblue10]

I wouldn't mind an iPad but I'm with the Nexus, Sherr. I've been wanting to get one for ages now.

Indeed he did, Carrust!

[ferlew]

Ohhh, I tried varifocals once, they made me feel sea sick, I got a refund after 4 weeks trying.

[tiggerblue10]

**happy (with the nexus)

[gness]

Had them for years, Ferlew with no problem but my vision changes far too frequently.

The ones I am wearing are less than a year old and the prescription has changed quite a bit....At 3-5 hundred pounds a time it's a bit of a pain.

[sherrardk]

I've only got one because himself bought it for me, I would never spend that much on myself.

[tiggerblue10]

I'm thinking of getting my eyes lasered but I'm too scared. Fed up of glasses. Been wearing them since I was 12 although I did wear contact lenses for many years but I've stopped because my eyes get so dry.

[tonyav]

Bloody hell, gness. Expensive and often.

[gness]

I know, Tony.....
