The totally off-topic thread

Not all us girls require extortionately priced ovens or any other objects you know...

Ideal woman! :mrgreen:

Just remember it's only money.
it isn't something like frequent flyer points where you have to be really careful.
Naturally I would work out how to get it closer to the wholesale price and still include lessons to use it.

$2000 for an oven leaves $12000 or 60 meals for 2 at $100 a head sounds good to me.

I kid you not $11499 pyrolitic Miele oven I'm in the process of getting paralytic over it lol

Did you earn lots of points at least? Being Meile, probably not, other than CC points.

My wife wanted a new oven recently too - I agree we needed one, but the price points I thought were too high.

We settled on a $2100 oven, but only because I could buy it at a Velocity partner during the double points promo at shopandearn last year.

Surprisingly, the points came through quickly. Unsurprisingly, there was a significant error in the number of points provided. I'm not complaining though

Note: Mrs Flashware fits this category, I've done well It's quite the opposite here! It's me who is wanting to go all out on our bathroom refurb... let's see what we find today. The way I see it though is why go a budget option when you've worked hard to get where you are - spend it and enjoy it. (although I do think 14.5k for an oven is a little OTT)

She works very hard and earns more than enough to pay for it.

I have to admit I've spent plenty on big toys for me so I can't complain

Ovens don't really float my boat neither do Prada handbags or Jimmy Choo's but it takes all sorts so I'm just going with the flow

Oh and it was only $11.5k and I got 10% off for buying a hob and a steamer too

I think I would draw the line at $14.5k; they did actually have a wine fridge for $15k which I did think was over the top

Totally made my day

Amazing bits of technology: almost completely overcast with a light drizzle as I checked ours just now - still inputting at (averaged rate) about $5.90 for the day!

There is a reasonable number of homes around SE England that have solar panels. I originally shook my head a little and thought "Pfft. Like they'd be worthwhile", but obviously there must be some benefits to having them!!!

Have you got a sister?

 

[Hvr]

There is a reason I have never been married.

I do not take orders, speak my mind and I do not need to worship anyone....

Nor I suspect owned a cat. Having just been put on the staff of a chocolate Burmese rescued from Lort Smith I am finding my life changing in many, many ways.

 

[blackcat20]

Have you got a sister?

What's wrong with me? I do actually, but she's quite a bit younger than me.

I get the impression you are already attached.

Aside from that I am probably way too old for both of you.

Chance of rain in Adelaide significantly increased. I sprayed the weeds today in an attempt to get them under control. Rain in the first 24 hours means I wasted my time.

An ideal woman would surely be taken.

You're both very sweet, but alas I am single. and I'm in my 20s (just).

Not always the case.

And I am still looking....

Like carparks: the good ones are taken, and the free ones have prams or are seniors.

Just read up on the summary of the 2nd day of the 2nd test Australia vs India in India. Very sad indeed....

None of the above

The rot began when Clarke said they had set a benchmark when they had just beaten the depleted Sri Lankans. He seemed to have forgotten that South Africa had just taken the series a couple of weeks earlier.

Worst Aussie team for a few years?
