I would like to buy an air fryer but they are pretty expensive, even for just a small one. May go to Harvey Norman (Hardly Normal) or the Good Guys in a few months time once I've saved the money for one.

What is your budget? Mine wasn't dear - £140 for a 1.7kg rig.

So nearly double that in Aussie dollars? 1.7kgs should definitely be enough. And me and Kayleigh will most likely go halves if I bug her into going shopping on payday.

The bad news is that it's significantly cheaper in the UK - the UK one is £150 for the Family Express 1.7kg, the Good Guys Australia charge £142 (A$250) for a 1.2kg Express model.  They're made in France.

I haven't had chance to actually use mine unfortunately.  It's sitting in the house gathering dust - I've used the chipper I bought though. That's good.  Get one of those - it does all the cutting for you that way.  You can get them on eBay for about £15, probably including shipping, to Australia.

It works out to be about £200 in Australia capacity-wise.  They make amazing chips though.  How many chips do you need?  1.2kg will make you 600g of chips each - think that would probably make enough chips for four people.

A Father's Day present. I only just realised when it was today and it sucks because I have barely any money. On Saturday I'll know how much I will have to spend because all my direct debits are out of my bank account by then.

I'm sorry to hear that.  :(

My financial situation is changing.  We'll see.

For the good, I hope.

I always saved money when I was in psych ward. Apart from bills I didn't spend anything.

I need a new bag. Leather backpacks that aren't boring looking are hard to come by.

A newer car, maybe tomorrow.
My wife no longer trusts her Lincoln (something in the security features has a glitch and pisses her off - I say fix it, but she says FUCK IT! I WANT A NEW CAR. So we are getting a new car for her.).
She has picked out a 2017 Impala. She does not want a car like mine or any "crossover" SUV or anything she has to climb up to get in. She climbs up all day long at work for UPS. So, at quitting time she wants a sedan.

Just get a Cabin Max thing.  They are fucking awesome for the price.

Just went to test drive and "assess" her choice.
I like it fine, great stereo, very new feeling, new tires and smelling new - Only fifteen thousand miles on it. It has leather all around with heaters, basically everything on my last two cars that she wants. Like remote start (her Lincoln has this) rear view camera (her old Lincoln did not have this) Dash camera (I do not have this, but my Escalade had one), heated steering wheel, Now I am jealous, I had this on the Escalade, but not on my Traverse.

Anyway, we are about to spend a bunch of money. I like the car.  As long as she likes it then it is a done deal.

We plan to trade in her Lincoln, add five thousand from my latest "matured asset" and keep the payment low as possible.

Pretty sure this is happening tomorrow.

Well she now has a '17 Chrysler 300 AWD with less that twenty thousand miles on it. She also liked the Impala, but she likes this one more.

Funny thing: When we started to take off yesterday morning, the Lincoln we were trading in had a flat tire. Kind of like one last gotcha.
