Post: # 109619Post Lady Willow »

Mine was membership to a veggie introduction agency type thing ... .where I met my husband. We've now been together 7 years and most of the time I consider it money well spent!

What about you?

Ummmm......

The best £100 i ever spent was on my MP3 player (its the bayliss wind up media player).

But then again, the best £85 i ever spent was on BGG tickets...

hmm...

Or it could have been my boots...they're always a good buy...or possibly my favourite jeans...but they were only £10 from Ebay...

£14 my purple wrangler boots in the Brantano Kid's sale.
if you add £429.79 to the £50 mentioned then I guess that's my camera...

ooo!! £50, my 320gb external hard drive. saved a lot of hassle when we got the better PC.

I'd have to say my dog. Nothing else I've spent that much on has given me so much enjoyment.

BGG is Big Green Gathering

£50 is roughly $100 US

------------

Legoland tickets, OK they were more than £50 for 3 of us, but they were worth every penny to see my oldest son so very very happy.

Not sure 'bout exchange rates,Ellendra ,but approx $75. The best £50 i spent was on a hand-made "Dragon" weather-vane.(A pressy for my wife)
its either one or the other,or neither of the two.

The one-way ferry ticket from the UK. Don't get me wrong - I liked living in England, but I love living in Italy. It's all I wished for and much more.

Early 1980's: An RAC/ACU certified full face crash helmet for my pillion, it quite literally was a life saver, and a face saver for that matter! (It might have been a bit more than 50 quid, but close enough for jazz) :rr:

I never understood open faced helmets.
Personaly, I like having a lower jaw.

No idea, I cant think of anything that cost around £50 and was overly useful.

Big Green Gathering.

I LOVE BGG! It completely changed my views, and made me feel more at peace with myself and everything i do. It also made me realise i'm not that strange after all, and the strange people are probably the best people!
