Jesus tapdancing Christ I spent a lot last week. Now not included within this is my new skirmish rifle: I have a new AEG in the STAR SL-8, and man, I love it.
Its taken the pride of place that the AICS up until recently had occupied, although being totally differenty systems I can still find places in my battered, shadowy heart for them both 
But as to the spendyness, well since Friday last I have purchased (all online):
MARPAT trousers, & shirt, & bandana
Guarder pistol lanyard
.50 cal ammo box for storage stuff
gas & ammo - £85 from Flecktarn.
My first geardo gear!! 
well its proper camo, for once, and a s**t-load better than a sticky, sweaty £3.50 NBC suit from eBay 
The best bit though is that I chose to accesorise.... with TAN *ominous music plays*
Yeah I got a bit of a hard-on for anything tan right now, I blame Dave from when he chucked a free half-can of Krylon paint at me, and it just happened to be Desert Khaki flavour. Uh-oh....
Now I can't get enough of the stuff, and after molesting my weird-*albatross* MP5 SD5-thingy with it I have turned my evil eye to my combat gear, such as it is.
And as it is now, its pretty goddamned cool Last week I also bought (and used on Sunday last):
Funky poncy fag lighter of total unnecessaryness
LED Torch Karabiner thing. Again, pointless beyond measure, but it has a bottle opener on it 
TAN (woohoo!) Baseball cap
TAN (see above) Pistol belt - £27 from Surplus & Outdoors.
Now in addition to this, and with remarkable foresight, I also acquired a TAN bungee sling by Guarder (or maybe the ICE Action knockoff thereof) and, also, the ultimate accesory, a TAN-framed KSC USP. The circle is almost complete.... it only required:
Oakley assault boots, in, guess
what, averyfetchingshadeofTAN! - £76 from POLIMIL.
hehehe
And, of course, the week simply wouldn't be complete without a couple of new guns, so from the venerable GnG I just had to buy:
Marui MP7 & charger kit
Hudson M3A1 grease gun - GBB smg!!
Maruzen P38 GBB - £348 from Guns 'n' Guys.
Phew.
But wait, I also had to get my display boxes mission under-way, didn't I? so I bought:
6 square metres of packaging foam - £32 from SM Foam.
Spendy enough for ya? Well, of course, we had that little piece of news regarding the VCR bill and our exemption from it (whatever that may amount to be) and yes, of course, Dave & I had to go out on the p*** in town and I managed to cane about: - £100, in LOTS of bars.
Pheonix360mute then had this little master-plan of betting those damned threaded 1911 barrels from the rather obtuse Poweredge USA, and that cost me another little chunk:
1911 Threaded Barrel - £35 from P360M.
Anything else? Oh yeah, Amazon came to my attention and I had myself:
Underworld Evolution, HEAT, Rio Bravo and, bizarrely, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on DVD this week (still not watched Rio Bravo, need to get mah wheelguns out for that while I sit down with a nice bottle o' scotch 
):
4 DVDs - £30 from Amazon
eBay hasn't sucked anything out of me for a while: I know: TAN gloves!!
- £about a fiver, from eHobbyasia
And by now I was a little short of cash, and had to buy the £40-worth of fireworks with the foreman's money at work (hey, it was a damn good deal. You can't just turn down that kind of deal, alright? ) and am, as a result, very nearly £40 down. Good job payday its tommorow eh?
-
Would I have normally spent that much? Nope. I didn't really buy anything the week before, and had the cash from then still lying about so I kinda went a bit nuts.
However, I did stop to appreciate what I had bought in total before I fully realised how much more use that lot would have been going into my savings funds: there comes a time for real responsibility and when you gotta kick your own *albartroth* into making it happen then it does become rather easier to procrastinate. Nevertheless, I gotta stop being *quite* so free 'n' easy with the readies; some semblance of self-control has to be established.
