Most expensive "impulse buy"

[hyperD]

£3,000 on a Breitling Navitimer in St Martin.

Oh no, wait £40,000 on a TVR Tuscan and then forgot to tell the wife for two years as I got drunk with complimentary tickets to the London Motor Show by lunchtime.

Sales: "Would you like to put down a deposit hyperd?"

Me (drunkenly): "Yeah, good idea, here's my card...."

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.

Opals are unlucky.

They also scratch easily, so take good care of it.

That's why I didn't get it made into a ring. I thought there was more chance of it getting knocked.

Not sure about the bad luck though. Australia hasn't done that badly over the years and the country is the world's biggest supplier of them.

I think that historically that the bad luck thing stemmed from them getting damaged so easily.

My grandmother would never wear them because they were meant to be unlucky.

Although, come to think of it, if you are 'Money, Money, Money' why aren't you buying a new one???
