Have you ever had a GOOD impulse buy?

Went out and bought myself a miniature Bluetooth speaker today... Just cant get my head round how fucking amazing they are for such a small piece of kit... With all these streaming tunes at our finger tips, they are life changers, IMO, LOL...

How did I manage without one??

Anyone else got successful stories??

Well not an impulse buy, but I got round to getting a smart phone. It's only basic by a lot of peoples standards but I love it, I've got used to it much quicker than I thought. Still getting my head round the 3g thing but its opened my eyes to the fact that all this new fangled stuff does improve things.

When I first got into car audio, I bought a single 12" subwoofer for £30.

Went along to have an enclosure priced up and built...walked away with a full install and £1500 lighter

The bug well and truly bit me and started a slight obsession

And if you like the Bluetooth speaker, we recently bought a Panasonic sound bar and subwoofer for the living room, TV and PlayStation both plugged into it, also runs Bluetooth and it sounds awesome.

And only £50 more than a dre beats speaker

Today an amazon package arrived that my partner bought. It was meant to be a Nessie tea infuser. But he ordered the wrong thing and instead a Nessie ladle arrived.

BEST IMPULSE NON-RETURN EVER!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one to get excited about kitchen utensils.

Years ago my husband and I had just waved two of our children off on holiday and were heading for the bank to bank some cash. On the way to the bank we detoured into Thomas Cook and booked a holiday for 3 days later,and banked less money.

You should try obsessed! It's great

You can get those speakers what you just rest your phone on top of whist playing.....you would get better sound quality out of a potato!

Not me but my dad. He saw a lot of old walking sticks that he liked at an auction. One of them had a small blade concealed in the handle, another one had a compartment in the base and another was made of all these exotic woods from all over the world.

I did a similar thing.

When I was about 22-23 I went off clothes shopping one weekend and ended up coming home with a round-the-world ticket instead. Handed in my resignation the following Monday (I actually liked that job too).

Best purchase ever.
