RumRed Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 So bored, never a good thing. Accidentally bought this. Not sure why it’s climbing a vertical slope in that shot, was the correct way up in my photo library! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Oh and an ill advised drunken Zoom party that went very weird. So two for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 As I have still been working throughout lockdown things have largely remained unchanged for me.Therefore I have just been doing the same stupid things that I always seem to do.

I bought the biggest fridge i could find so I could use it as a beer fridge, got enough beer for 3 x months, red wine in 4 Litre casks x 12, cider slabs x 6 and there is 24 in a slab. Put it on the c/card and the missues found the statement in the post yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Oddly, and strangely (although not stupidly) after the first week where every night felt like a Thursday night, so i got on the cans, I have hardly touched booze since lockdown. So my initial panic/security/confort supplies of booze remain largely untouched. For someone who'd go to the pub probably 6 days a week (usually for 2 or 3) my alcohol in take in almost zero now. And I'm not missing it. This worries me. I have no intention of using the money saved to buy a Fiat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Well I'm about to buy a car but it definitely won't be a Fiat of any kind . To be fair I work in a school so have been working most days, other than the odd day here and there when I was given it off (other than unlocking the building). Wife (teacher in the same school) has been isolating as she's pregnant, so that's been the only real change for me. What I have realised though, is how much I spend on unnecessary stuff and fuel, because I've never been this well off since I met my wife . Think my most extravagant purchase has been an Xbox game for £17. Sorry to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Thinking about it, I have bought more pairs of trainers that usual, most of these I've justified by the online bargains, boredom and not going to the pub. Some absolutely killer deals to be had at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even says it in stupid lettering down the side! .... actually it is a Fiat, but it does have scorpions on it so that’s something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at how healthy our bank now is, Mrs Downend can no longer disguise just how much her hair, nails,lunches with the girls and "essential" shopping really cost. Accordingly, I've petitioned number 10 to extend lockdown till the end of next year! In hindsight, talking to her about this is probably the stupidest thing I've done during lockdown!

The Batman Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I go to asda and my wife decided she wanted to clear out some of the loft, daughters toys and some of her clothes while I'm out. She chucked them all in the front room ready for me to take to the tip - newsflash, tip shut. Got back, saw the mess and told her she can take it all back upstairs and I got an absolute death stare. Gone now, but it was all crammed in the corner of the front room for quite a while as its the only place we could put them, she never took them back upstairs.
