Things I'd bought before breakfast today:

Rock Shox PIKE 454 Coil U-Turn from TF Tuned

Fred Perry shirt.

Megadeth live album (Rust in Peace Live) from Play.

Rhino board bag for my surfboard.

Peanut butter M&M's (the lovely import ones in the red packet, NOT to be mistaken for the peanut ones which are a very different, though no less tasty beast entirely) from some American girl.

Yea, shopping online is the new bain in my life. New camera a Canon ([url= http://www.camerabox.co.uk ]www.camerabox.co.uk[/url]), new dinning table,([url= http://www.fashion4home.co.uk ]www.fashion4home.co.uk[/url])and not to mention cds ([url= http://www.play.com ]www.play.com[/url]). Worst thing is Play where my credit card details are online, I click and end up with loads of cd's being delivered before I realise how much I've spent on them:)

My next purchase is likely to be camera lenses from the US, to be collected in November.

Don't forget that using a credit card means you not using real money, doesn't it? Lots of free stuff!!! ๐Ÿ˜†

Peanut Butter M&Ms!!! Where?

Right here:
http://tinyurl.com/2ueaexw

Seriously, they're delicious...okay, so they're twice as expensive as regular M&Ms, but they're at least four times as good so technically they're twice the value. How's that for fuzzy logic?

Might empty my ISA and buy that silly Trek next :p

Bit of a PSA, but M&M direct have some Oakley riding gear on again at less than half price. I just got some shorts which are suprisingly good, a riding top and a lightweight fleece. All for about 60 quid and the quality / fit is very good. They'll do for winter.

Get round the addiction my way, by being completely broke, so unable to buy anything, online or not.

working away is dangerous - im away for 6 weeks - all expenses paid (unless i go out on the lash) so wages plus living away allowance plus my day rate.

bought a thorn raven enduro the day i left then pretty much just spent 4k on another bike(for which the thorn was a donor bike for the rohloff) + a raceface 100mm bb and turbine chainset for the beginning of my next project in a couple months - project pugsley - last time i was away i bought a thermarest neo air and a pair of oakley jawbone livestrongs - ive eclipsed that purchase slightly.

Thus proving working away as a part whorder is bad !

Shes ok with it though - the house saving fund will look very very healthy after this trip (working here , chances of being caught up in political trouble is looking pretty high atm so working coeffiecient is high)

I'm in the South of France at the moment and missing my bike, badly. Compensating by ordering tons of biking clothes for autumn, online. Can't wait to get back home and unwrap it all. Trying but failing to swerve net-a-Porter and theoutnet.com too. All the gorgeous a/w clothes and shoes to lust over <3
I could have done without knowing of the existence of peanut butter M&Ms - can't stop thinking about them ๐Ÿ™‚
