    What was your last "unnecessary" purchase?

    Mine was a Kyocera ceramic kitchen knife. Before that I bought a bunch of 2nd hand Cisco routers.

    My next one is going to be a new computer keyboard.

    What "mindless consumerism" have you indulged in recently?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          wireless keyboard and mouse set

          I already had a perfectly functioning keyboard and mouse but wanted to declutter the office space a little.

            The aircon unit you recommended.
            A very expensive wool carpet that sheds so much the baby ate loads of woollen hair and we had to remove it.
            A whole bunch of books to add to the ones I haven't read.

                So that was a necessary purchase then.

                    I don't count those. They are needed to fill the gaps where I can see carpet.
