Mostly cos I can't go home to find the half finished grey cat on black background and my friends haven't seen it (I know it's there, it's just not where I thought it was!). Need to get back into cross stitch or crochet to stop myself doom-scrolling the internet!!!
But the Lanarte is a bit expensive and I have a choice of three that I like, soooooo - they'll sit on the Amazon list for a bit longer I guess!!!
If anyone wants to choose for me, that'd be aces!!![]()

(EDIT : I have a few lego in mind too - just not sure I want to make space for them when I eventually get home!!!)![]()
The watering can is a smidge under 37€ on amazon but I'm not sure I have paypalI do have revolut if that's any good?

But honestly, it is a lovely thought and gesture - and if you are serious, I'll see if I can find out if I have a current paypal![]()

You’re very kind
Currently in physio (can use the phone cos it’s the machine that bends my knee for me!) but I will order the kit when I’m back in my room

Re: What purchases are you pondering..
I keep looking at a Model Y, wifey and I test drove it separately and we both liked it. Charging it off grid is something I need to work out before buying.

Casa sst 265 engine for my Lambretta (£8.5k).
Bought the scooter for £10k in January, already spent £3k on it and seriously considering this replacement engine, ffs I think I've got problems.

If you are going for the 265 engine (ah gowangowangowan you know you want to

Re: What purchases are you pondering..
Nothing really, I had a browse around the mall this morning but didn't feel like buying anything.
I'm feeling drawn towards a 488 Pista but I'm in two minds, I've got a lot tied up in cars at the moment and it's perhaps enough for now.

No pockets in a shroud and AFAIK they're easy to swap out, my cousin is still well into the scooter scene and it looks a lot of fun.

Re: What purchases are you pondering..
I ponder quite a bit.
Currently I'm trying to get a mate to buy my old R90S,just so I don't bite for it. I'm also watching a 69 H1 and a 72 H2,all of which are too spendy....so far.
Threads like this don't help at all.

Re: What purchases are you pondering..
Some prescription sunglasses from Specsavers
Pick them up yesterday - look cool, variofocals, one set polarised , one set not
The lens are terrible - i have no idea what their lens technician was doing but the transition point in about 70% up the lens so it is like wearing bottle tops ! And the field of vision is unbelievably narrow.
Will be returned on Monday …

Re: What purchases are you pondering..
New garage doors (which I intended to sort before Christmas, but didn't).
New house gates (several limbs required for that, but the current ones are fucked, and we may as well get some decent ones that'll last).
A Triumph Scrambler.
The gates are going to wipe me out for the foreseeable I reckon...

Plus for the longevity thing we're going for metal framed, hence the need for several limbs rather than just one...
