Congrats! I paid off my house when I was 49 in 2001. If feels good not to have that large payment every month, doesn't it?

I don't know how it feels yet. The 1st of the month is in a couple of days. I will see how it feels then.
 
Two 3 TB hard disk drives

They don't call me the procrastinator for nothing! …

:) you're not alone … says I, sitting next to an eighteen-inch high pile of mail that requires attention, but "can wait". Some of it has been in one to-do pile or another for years!

So. I got two of these today –

Seagate 3TB Backup Plus Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 | Maplin

– to put right a ZFS pool in which a drive failed over six months ago. Procrastination? Nah. It could wait :)

Well done. I was lucky enough to pay my mortgage off early. I enjoyed a year of having no mortgage but was conscious I was wasting an investment opportunity so I sold up and used the money towards buying a bigger house in a better location, and took on another mortgage the same size as the previous one.
 
Scuf Gaming controller. Hoping it's as good as I've heard.

My last major purchase was this past Sunday. I purchased a new 15 inch Retina MBP and some Klipsch THX 2.1 computer speakers. Both, I highly recommend. :D

Secret santa thing..

Had a secret santa with a few good friends. My recipient was a bit tough, but I ended up getting her an SOAD shirt and The XX's first album since some of her favorites are The Neighbourhood and Florence + The Machine.

When the exchange was done, my secret santa got me this, which I am so excited for! Can't wait to use!

Picked up a new 2 stop ND B+W 102 MRC filter for my Canon EF 24mm f1.4 II lens, works great on this lens.

2014 Chevy Malibu LT

Obviously not my pic, but I bought my mom a new car for Christmas/New Years. We took her 2010 malibu in to Chevy to get the headlights replaced and they told me the car has been recalled due to a slipping trans, faulty breaks, and on top of that the car is rusting.

She's a happy camper now, and she gets to control her car with her iPhone 5s. :p

Finally installed the laminate flooring I bought Black Friday weekend, and moving my old, dirty, yellow stove that only half worked anymore I decided to go buy this:
