Yeah, but it's crocodile, which always goes for a pretty penny. And while I don't use a briefcase all that regularly, it would be worth having that one on the occasions I needed one. Mainly because one tends to need a briefcase on more formal occasions like going to meetings or whatever, and having such an eccentric one is the sartorial equivalent of shouting "SOD YOU ALL, I DON'T GIVE A MONKEYS" to everyone else in the room. :D

like the bespoke suits don't already :lol:

my latest purchases have all been on the company dime - airfare, hotels and the like.
 
I spent around $30 at my local haunt last night with a buddy. Before that, it was dinner, and tickets for a double-feature today.
 
A Gul 3mm wetsuit and neoprene boots. I'm all kitted up for a new summer of bodyboarding. :techman: Also, finally picked up Casino Royale on dvd, which I'm watching at the moment.

Congratulations on abusing the expenses account. :D


I'm anticipating highly unpleasant bills next week.

The plumbers failed to completely fix a bathroom leak yesterday, so I will have to call them back on Monday... thing is, they fixed what I thought was the problem (and in truth, undoubtedly contributed). That was fairly straightforward.

But it's still leaking from somewhere and now the obvious problem is fixed, that means what's left is the probability of a leak somewhere rather more inaccessible.

Which means ripping up floorboards and having a proper poke around. Which means mucho labour costs. :( :scream:

And in the meantime, I'm having to use the main bathroom instead of the en suite, which is mildly inconvenient too... :mad:

I feel it's a fair trade off, I get abused by work travel, I'm paid back via a nice dinner or three while on the road.

good luck with that
 
I bought two pairs of Gas jeans, I just love their quality and style.

Holdfast, I wasn't aware that Ladurée did gluten-free products, I'll have to drag myself to Harrods to check. ;)

Ah, I didn't spot that you needed gluten-free.

Sorry, I've no idea if they do or not. I eat anything, so don't notice these things very much.

Yikes, it's amazing how much havoc water can wreak when it's in the wrong place at the wrong time. Good luck!
 
Thanks for the good luck wishes, kim! I decided to go with a plumber I've used before to good results rather than the guys I called out on Friday in a hurry who didn't fix the problem right. He can't visit until Wednesday, but at least the water has nearly all dried out now, so I can wait.

Still, not a "purchase" I'm looking forward to. :vulcan:

There are definitely more fun purchases to make. :)

Speaking of which, I went out at lunch to replenish my supply of favorite lotion and in addition returned with two silk scarves and a scarf ring. :D
