What did you save up for but never buy.

isnt it a bit hot in this sort of weather especially working with sheep?

Good hairdresser would have you sorted in no time.

Diahatsu Fourtrak. Saw one on a dealer's forecourt in the 80's ? they had just come into the UK and although the dealer was closing up for the night I got a test drive. Found a bit of rough ground that BMX bikers used and enjoyed myself. Could have just afforded it at the time.

Happily, Herself here has dusted off her haircutting skills during/post- covid, and while not Vidal Sassoon, her cutting is more than adequate to tidy me up...

I bought one of those £12 trimmer sets from Lidls and started doing my own during lockdown. No one has said anything about it and if it looked too awful I would soon get the p--- taken, so I reckon it is a win.

 

[Av Gorritt]

mine had got so long that I was considering either getting a black ribbon for it or buying a violin . In the end I got a good barber's trim for £7.00 - that was with pensioner's discount . I thought even that was dear ! Sister used to do it , then she went up country , missus next , she died 4 years back , grand-daughter last . I'll have to make overtures again very shortly

Last time I paid for a haircut was just before my wedding, been cutting it myself ever since, 22 years now

I was getting mine done for £5, no 2 all over, well, sides and back tbh. Cost of living squeeze has promoted my wife to chief hairdresser. (Actually it was covid) Saving on fuel too. But charging the clippers is a money pit…..

I tried saving up for a Toyota Hi Lux back in the 90s. I seem to recall half decent ones were going for 4k. I never did manage it. Ended up with a 2l Peugeot 205 van. Loved it.

This day every year I vow to save up for a day grouse shooting.
It would be a massive waste of money on my part, I’m not even particularly into shooting.

But it would annoy all the right people so would be well worth it.

But what happened to cover and carbon?!?!?!?!?!?

Yes, get some of that tumbleweed planted on yer bonce

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Saved to buy my first car, ended up passing my test just when I was leaving home for college so didn't need the car whilst I was living in town. Don't know what I ended up spending the money on, probably more wisely invested in various pubs in Edinburgh...

In the “triangle”
