that clinking clanking sound... it makes the world go round

[sarah_orange]

when the money from selling my house comes through I intend to spend a little of it on myself. I've compliled a list in order of necessity of the things I should buy:

a new pair of platform new rocks - as the sole (edit - possible the soul too but that was a little deep) is attempting to detatch from mine at the mo - 4+ years of being pretty constantly worn though so not a bad innings
a new phone - possibly another nokia 6300 as I loved it so much and it's defininetly not coming back from the dead this time :( ooo they do them in other colours now too...
a long line black satin underbust corset - as both of my plain black long corsets are too big and falling apart.
a roland juno G. I played with one at mera luna (and kept trying to sneak of to play it when no one was looking) both of my other synthesisers are from before 1988 - it would be nice to get with the times a little even if it's with a budget machine. and it matches my juno 106 nicely :D

that's about a grand. it's not much of a replacement for my home but hey, retail therapy...

And that shopping list is fully deserved!

See you at Infest.

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

indeed. where I won't be buying all the clothes in the world... *nods* although I might be buying all the strongbow :D

[tinksdarkerside.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a top shopping list to me!

Dave keeps meaning to sell his Roland Jupiter 6 - I must kick his arse into getting on with that.

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

they're about a grand on ebay!

[daevid.livejournal.com]

Always a good idea to treat yourself, especially when you deserve it :D x

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

cos I'm worth it?

:D

[daevid.livejournal.com]

Oh you are ;)

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

aw!
=D

Nice list!

Btw, don't feel to bad about the house, you've probably made the right move. I've been reading up on investment strategy (with a view to getting into share dealing properly), and the one thing that's coming over loud and clear at the moment is "sell property, before the market goes into free-fall".

Re New Rocks - probably meaningless but the best deals I've had have been from the guy who's always at Whitby, middle of the left side of the right hand aisle in the Spa bazaar.

So can we expect to see you on stage in the club at some point in boots, corset, playing the Juno G while loading sample via the Nokia? :-)

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

hopefully not *just* boots and a corset o_0

:P

[http://users.livejournal.com/_pyromancer_/]

Well, indeed! :-)
Was meaning to specify the rest of the outfit (PVC catsuit, perchance?), but got carried away with the technology.

Purrrrrrr

Burlesque here you come !

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

Sorry to be the sound of reason, but don't go too mad or you'll regret it later. Some fun stuff however is probably a good idea, but the thought of it replacing your house is probably a bad one as you could almost justify anything off the back of it.

BTW - may be worth scouring ebay for the phone as you can pick up some good second hand bargain ones there. One of my av forums also has good bargains to be had if you need a hand !

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

they're only £115 new. apart from the synth all of the things on the list are replacing worn out stuff I've had before. it's only really the synth that's a 'treat' and its "only" £600ish

[daevid.livejournal.com]

Live only once eh!

I'd check ebay just in case as you may pick up a good second hand one... Also some of the synth sites like www.vintagesynth.com have classifieds :)

I remember buying my Triton for well over a grand back in 2001... sold for 500 in the end :/

The MS2000 though picked up for £300 *grins*

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

true but I tend to like to buy new technical stuff new from a reputable vendor incase there's a problem with it.

hey maybe you should buy mr tink's jupiter 6 :)

[daevid.livejournal.com]

I would love too but at a grand that would kill me financially for a bit!!!

What price do you put though on reputable vendor though ;) I would say first and foremost check out Rolands forum to see what issues arise then make a judgement based upon the weight and severity of those issues...

I should have done this when buying that Renault Scenic!!!

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

Hey. You don't need to justify to me...I was just saying be careful - I know what its like as i get a big bonus each year (8-15k, but is taxed) and the temptation is huge...But its also smart to invest and save and stuff....Have in the past used retail therapy on shares - Buying *AND* investing...Wooo !

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

115 new eh....Which provider are you with ???

Black on Orange at 69.99+£10 top-up, don't know the company or a silver T-mobile via John Lewis at 79.99

Or Uber bling 24k Gold at £499, or prettier (!) 18K Rose at £649

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

ooo the silver t-mobile john lewis is what i need. yoink!

*buys now*

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

Well we wouldn't want you without the capability to bug people =;-)

[daevid.livejournal.com]

Question is does it have an anti toilet device ;)

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

a clingfilm cover for use when drunk...

[daevid.livejournal.com]

Over the toilet! Excellent idea... plus it doubles up as mischevious entertainment ;)

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

bad pixie!

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

oh I still have that - but no back up if this phone breaks and no mp3 player. and I *loved* that phone!

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

Oh Yes....Good vibrate function. Eh !!!


Wooo...I bet you 10p i can make your tits wobble without using my hands

*texts*

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

Ebay Comes at £55-60 second hand and £70-80 new, sometimes unlocked, some with call credit - They are BIN's

[breadlord.livejournal.com]

Have you made a decision as to when you're going to have your "It's not mine anymore, let's fuck it up" party?

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

er you don't get to do that - they can sue these days...

[warlockdreams.livejournal.com]

If I have a bit of money to throw around I'd get a shit hot phone, like the new touch screen with 8mp camera. The new LG's & Samsung ones are nice. That LG viewty is cool too, touch screen with 5mp camera.

[daevid.livejournal.com]

My brother has an LG, it does take some really cracking pictures for a phone :D

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

yeah the N95 has a shit hot camera too. but I just want a small sturdy phone - I have a pretty good digtal camera already.

[daevid.livejournal.com]

I don't... but think i'll add that to my persoanl Xmas/ B'day list :)

[vinyl-storm.livejournal.com]

can't squee enough about the N95 :) (however it has decided it doesnt want to send text messages any more which is bugging me significantly - be relieved it is why you haven't been subjected to work time textual harrassment! ) But indeed, a bit of a frivilous investment if you want a sturdy phone come mp3 player. I only got it cause it was free with my contract!

[warlockdreams.livejournal.com]

The LG's feel like good sturdy phones. The last phone i bought was a cheap piece of shit. I figured why would I need a shit hot phone camera when I have a digital camera. Then I realised that a digital camera is a bit too big for taking with me everywhere, you see I'm always on the look out for shit to film, like fights & car crash aftermaths lol. So now I'm after a decent camera phone. Which LG does your bro have? Is it the viewty?
