    In terms of cost, my home of course.

    In terms of extravagance, most recently a €170 bottle of Creme De La Mer body lotion.

    :D

    It's something I have been considering for years but always decided against it. Got a lovely present of a Brown Thomas gift voucher recently though, and said feck it, still have to pay a lot but the voucher will make a good dent in it. The €170 one is the cheapest one!

    No regrets!

    House but only because it's now worth ten times what I paid.

    SnapOn tools probably worth about £10k but they were free.

    Car for the OH worth about £4k (optimistic)

    My car, £800.

    Phone and laptop are probably worth £250 between them.

    My current car... €18k 6 weeks ago. Worth it though :)
    How do you figure that out? In a few years it will only be worth half that, if you invested it wisely it would increase in value ;)

    But the ram wins, it's an investment piece ;) It will make you money for years (hopefully!)

    I've spent stupid amounts of money on classic deep house and techno vinyls, including one bulk-purchase of a handful of unopened Moodymann albums (6 weeks in the doghouse with herself but well worth it).

    For that price I'd want Elle McPherson applying it to me.

    When you can say that, you know you have a nice house. :D

    I don't know exact figures, but I suspect that I bought my house for about a third of what the previous owner paid.

    Having been stung buying my first house at the height of the boom for about double what its worth now, it makes me feel a bit better.

    Not counting the house, the car is the biggest. Cost me €18k, but it's saving me €2k a year in fuel costs (its electric).

    Wife's engagement ring next.

    TV is a funny one. First big flat screen I ever bought was a 40" Samsung that cost me just over £1k sterling about 9 years ago. It's still going strong though.

    But the 60" I now have in the living room was only £600. Mental how the prices have dropped on tellys.

    Very :o I have some handmade ones and a one good paintbrush can cost €300+. As well as that each paint type has its own type of paintbrush.

    I'm not talking brushes used for painting a shed btw :pac: They're all fine art brushes.

    Everybody else in college was spending their cheques on alcohol and clothes and I was saving for my next brush or palette :pac:

    Worth it, though, because now you can do novelty paintings of kitchenaids and sell them to Boardsies :D
