Most expensive "impulse buy"

[~Craig~]

I think the most i've ever spent on impulse is a few hundred on a weekend away. I blame the student days.......

I spent £75 on a bunch of ceramic roses made by an up and coming artist.

They have fantastic petals and they don't die.

Mrs PRC liked them

Went out to buy a sensible Diesel estate car.

Bought a £5,995 second-hand Jaguar.

Oops.

Oh, no. That wasn't the biggest.

Went to view a new build flat in my lunch break. An hour later I had bought the last one on my block.

Just before the Tories put the interest rates up to 14%.

(To my knowledge, six of us bought "the last one in the block". But I only ever got to speak to five of my neighbours who owned rather than rented their flat.)

Won't include the usual big ticket items you'd normally spend a fair amount on like property, cars and so on. This year I bought....

A £700 on a limited edition Moorcroft vase in the spring. I'm too scared to put it out in case I drop it or break it. It's not seen a drop of water or a flower yet. Not sure it ever will.

I spent about £500 on a stunning but smallish Crystal Opal from Australia last year then got it set into a silver and 24 K gold + seed pearl pendant made for me by my favourite silversmith and jeweller. That cost me another £450.

I got a solid 18K gold vintage Omega ladies watch a couple of years ago. It's a wind up jobbie, but still keeps perfect time. The best thing of all is that it only cost me £200 because I won it off an e-bay auction. I since got it authenticated and it was from a reputable seller so no duds here folks!

Korg Trinity Workstation £900 many years ago. (Should have been £1800, but I landed a real corker. I worked for a brand name music company, and the sales guy in our company was a drinking mate with a sales guy in Korg, so the sales guy in our company said "I'll sort something" and he got it for cost. I was shocked that a sales guy would actually keep his word on something)
