Re: What have you just bought?
A second hand Google Pixel 6 Pro 256GB. I've lost the value unless I sell it now which I'm not doing. With Google updates ending next year you'd probably be asking why I brought it. Firstly it's a secondary device. Secondly I always wanted one. Third I paid just under £150 for it. I'm chuffed with it though, it's been well looked after

Doesn't really make financial sense when I thought you had a Google 9 Pro XL. My secondary devices are always my old phones gathering dust in a drawer and I still never have a need to use them.

It doesn't make financial sense 
I was using my OnePlus 9 Pro as a secondary device but I didn't like the support they offer. Updates are wishful thinking. Recycling have offered me around £50 for it. Prior to that I had a Xiaomi Mi4C which developed display issues, random touch points, weird but it was a fun 4G device running custom ROMs.

3 Parker Jotter fountain Pens to be exclusively used at work, that brings mine collection up to 31.
I also managed to convert 3 of the 4 people I work with to use fountain pens.

It would be impossible to convert me being left handed, we lefties have our own styles to avoid smudging so in my case my hand is above the written text.

A spudger to replace one that vanished after around 30 years.

I have a Dacia Spring, which is the cheapest ‘full size’ small electric car on the market. It’s cheap as chips but great value as long as you really don’t ever need to go out of town in it.

Just to follow this up … the car lost 1% of its charge in the fortnight it sat on the drive during our holiday. It went from 89% to 88%, which in a tiny Dacia Spring equates to a little over one mile of range.
