Really expensive, extremely detailled and pretty. Just like their other models. Even if I bought one (@280€) I would probably want to get another one after. And another. Collecting is great...

Bose QuietComfort 20. I have the previous version of these headphones for about two years now. There's not much different between the recently released model and the model that I have, only the casting of the wires are different. But in some reviews people are also saying that Bose had improved the noise cancelling and the bass.

Any place but here or there....
So annoyed, I apparently misplaced the first volume of the latest Slaine series. And here's volume 2.

Will have to wait until I pay for Uni again to pick both up.

Pentel Twist-Erase III. These were always my favorites growing up, and now that've lost my last mechanical pencil, I'm trying to avoid buying a few and spending more on shipping than the pencils themselves. I'll be avoiding the ones that accept 0.7mm lead, not 0.5.

Ive tried the twist erase and it isnt a bad pencil. I still prefer the Kohinoor Mephisto Mechanical pencil. It also has a twist eraser and rubber grip but slimmer profile. Unfortunately it is more expensive than the twist erase.

Ever have your eye on something that you really want but definitely don't need?

What are you trying to keep yourself from buying right now? :)

Nothing really……. Less is more.

Having lived a rather itinerant life for many years, and still a low income without access to credit, I have to need or really want something before I add to my possessions. Owning too much is a hassle.

I didn't hesitate to buy the original Mac Mini when it first arrived in 2005. I was starting to need my own computer. I wanted something easily transportable from time to time, but I didn't want a portable. The Mini arrived at an opportune moment. I am on to my second Mac Mini, which should be good for another couple of years. It is the most expensive thing I own.

I could, however, be tempted by the Fujifilm X-Pro2.

I got my first digital camera about 4 years ago, an end of line special. Rugged, but with a few shortcomings. Still, people seemed to like my sports photos, many of which were used on websites. I wanted something better, so for a Fujifilm X20, which cost five times as much, but produces much better pictures. Quite a few are used in the local press. The X-Pro2 and a couple of lenses would cost five times as much again, but would be another step up in image quality…..

But if I did, a newer Mac Mini would really be required to make the most of it. The problem of the possessions treadmill, eh?

That pencil would be awesome if it had a button on the side to advance the lead !

Same here. I want one, especially with the new bands. However, my urge to resist first gen Apple products keeps me from pulling the trigger, especially after being burned with the iPad 1 fiasco.

I've always been able to sell my old Apple products and use the money towards the new.

My willpower is crumbling so I probably will pick one up in the next few days. Since the weather is getting better I'm riding my motorcycle more and more. Having notifications on my wrist is a blessing. I have the 6S+ and no longer can keep my phone in my front pocket. I now keep it in a sling sack on my back. I had a Fenix 3 but since returned it. I miss notifications.

True, but I'm too soft. If I upgrade, I'll most likely give it to a family member. My family is full of people using my old Apple devices. My cousin's call it the Cousin iPhone upgrade program. :p

It's Spring Break, so I'm working extra hours and thus will have some decent cash next week; add the recent Apple Watch price drop and I'll probably crumble by next Friday, to be honest...
