...is my new memory Mirrorfoam mattress! Seriously brilliant - I now look forward to going to sleep. You will never use a sprung mattress again. And at ?700 it is a bargain when you spend a third of your life asleep. And it changes your life.. So buy one. Now.


Anyway - what is teh best thing you have ever bought and why?

Bread machine from lilly on this very forum.

No, correction: my contact lenses. Changed my life.

No no, not those: it would have to be my motorbike. It is SO comfortable and I love it.

Orrr it could be the advert I paid for in Time Out all those years ago that found me MrRose!

If I say Marc Jacobs shoes I will sound shallow and vain? A very good set of german steel - chopping onions brings me more pleasure than is possibly normal.


Ultimately probably my freedom from a hideous, hideous job and stress-related alopecia - paying for it now in the freelance drought

My remote controlled helicopter.

Brick of Hashish along with an AK47 when I was working in Pakistan 2 years ago, loads of fun but I had to sell it before coming back which was a shame.

Tempur mattress of the TV which is apparently used by NASA, well the missus bought it.

Yamaha R1 1000cc motorbike although I'm still paying that off.

University education.


I want to get my private pilots license next year.

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
