Have you ever got to that point in your life where you've run out of new & interesting things to buy within reason to the capital you have?

Been there a few times. It's often more a space/property thing more than anything else though. I would love a CNC router + laser but I don't want to invest until I have a heated/dry workshop. I don't want to insulate my garage/workshop until I have my 'forever house' though but that's looking like at least two house moves away at the moment. :problem: I fear I'll be old and decrepit by the time I'm finally there :lol:

Just had a week off from work and I've got another four weeks off between jobs :awe: I don't think I've had this much time off work since those long summer school holidayz 8-)

I'm soon to be relocating down near Aylesbury, not sure if there are many of you mofos down that neck of the woods?

tbh, i have no idea why i do. a few years ago i recived a letter from ups that i would from now on have a shipping discount (that was 50% off on any saver shipments) and a personal service contact. that worked pretty well till the end of last year, when suddenly my discount prices were higher than the prices you would get if you just use the online service to book packages :wtf: , so that was that.

they still call from time to time.
