Show Us Your Latest Purchase - August 2018

[Disco]

Haters gonna point out "the odds of taking home tonight’s top prize are 1 in 134,490,400", so be wary of those quoting odds.

Yet someone, or many people, will probably win, so if you don't buy a ticket you've got no chance

[Mugsy]

Good luck, Mugsy!

Thanks Cherry. Assuming you and Disco bought a Powerball ticket too, good luck to both of you as well!

[kharis]

Good luck to all of us idiots with powerball tickets and hopes for a better future

disco if you win get someone to make a facebook game your mum can spend money on and then let her know in a couple of years that she's been sending you money

I believe the chance of winning any division is 1 in 44 which is still not too shabby.

I reckon buying with just the social and entertainment factor in mind is the way to go. And if you lose, you go get a drink and think about all that you still have in life. Again, provided one has the disposable income or done once in a blue moon.

LOL. That's one way to get someone pissed off.

GL to you too kharis!

Super King Doona from Adairs, and because we're up-sizing, we needed a new cover too...

Spring is coming, getting the bike ready for riding again.. moved her out of the garage and into the yard, so had to get a cover

I hope your save game doesn't reset every time you play

[Nekosan]

@Disco had no problems with my saves resetting ,had one glitch where the esc menu and inventory disappeared but restarting fixed that.

I heart beer paddles.

CTP and Rego for the Harley... spending money on bills sucks.

[Mugsy]

Yeah, my home contents insurance and body Corp fees are due at the start of next month. Not looking forward to it. Need to get onto my tax return too.

[kharis]

rego is due on sunday, car booked in for service and pink slip (or whatever its called now) on friday

[CherryRed]

We pay everything we can ahead of time. I essentially work out what things cost us annually, divide it by the number of pay periods we have and then auto-transfer that amount across each time I get paid. For example, our body corporate fees are $1,690/year and we both get paid 26 times (fortnightly) so each fortnight we auto-transfer $65 to the body corporate and each time the bill arrives it's either nil owing or slightly in credit.

We do this with our mobiles, tablets, foxtel, internet, electricity, gas, strata fees, council rates, water bill, etc and I pay home insurance, contents insurance and health insurance by the month as well. The only thing we can't do it with at the moment is rego and ctp, and that bugs me.

I know we don't have to do it this way and I've had people argue that we're better off keeping the money in our account, but at the end of the day any 'interest' I'd earn holding onto that money would be minimal and it makes a huge difference to my anxiety when I know that every bill I receive will always be fully paid or in credit.

A rental contract, tomorrow. Yay for being able to start rebuilding my life finally... now, to sell the house.

[Lucifer Morningstar]

$320 in specialists bills. Neurologist and Cardiologist. Actual cost after Medicare rebates.
Didn't get good news. I also have to go back again, so there are more bloody fees.


The Blue Yeti I bought shit itself. I tried to return it to MWave but they claim "consumer damaged" and are violating my Australian rights to a return, replacement or a refund. So I bought the above from my store of choice - PC Case Gear.
So I spent about $10 in phone fees and about $1 at the local library to print out a letter of demand.
I then followed it up instantly with a complaint to fair trading. I will fight this to the bitter end, and I will make their life a living hell if I have to. I will not stand for anyone's consumer guarantees being violated by a bunch of cunts. Claiming I broke the USB cord - impossible for me to do - I can barely open a bottle of milk.








Only the monitor riser. I want something to make my monitor up higher. Acer standard mount doesn't do much. Trying that until I get around to buying proper VESA mounts for my 3 monitors.

[Darius359au]

Needed to replace the crap one I've had for years , got more options with this one
