Expensive day

Been out and about today shopping, and went for a nosy in the local Cash Converters, expecting to find a couple of cheap DVDs, CDs or games, came out 10 mins later with a set of drums FFS! :unamused: Cant play the things but am willing to learn. Anyone got any tips for learning?

Also had to get a new light for the fish tank, went into the pet shop to get the bulb, and came out with a new tank and stand. :open_mouth:

Im staying in tomorrow :smiley: Ah well at least Im banging some money back into the economy, to get things moving again, thats my excuse anyway :smiley:

This is the kit

Done the same thing a few years ago myself, sort off :smiley:

I only use them to bash when i am on one but they do help , i aint had a dent in a wall or door for ages :wink: :smiley:

your one of those shopperholics arenā€™t you :stuck_out_tongue:

donā€™t go to the parts shop you mite see a few to many bargains in the showroom :wink:

And I bet you moan at your missus if she buys a new pair of stockings! :unamused:

Wanted: DVDs
Purchases: Drumkit :open_mouth:

(I suppose it was still vaguely music-relatedā€¦) You and GerryT can meet up for some percussion and jamming sessions! :smiley:

Wanted: Lightbulb
Purchases: Entire London Aquarium :frowning:

I think your missus should confiscate your plastic and wallet and give you a small pocket-money allowanceā€¦ Youā€™re not safe to be let out unsupervised! :laughing:

Are you changing your signature to ā€œBorn To Shop!ā€ ? :grimacing:
