what's on the top of your list of most desirable purchases?

I'm talking luxury, reachable or unreachable, special edition sneakers, an O magazine subscription, digital cameras, clothes, the langley school music project cd, whatever

Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus saw them in toy shop in Uxbridge today for £30 each, but manageed to resist.

Recordable DVD player, I'm waiting til they go down in price.

Perscription sun glasses, have no idea of cost.

New jacket, nearly got a cord one today, but didn't like the colour (tan) coz it wouldn't go well with the rest of my clothes.

New games for my Gameboy Advance (I got ISS Soccer today).

One of those tiny remote control cars from the Gadget Shop, even though I know they won't be as fun as I imagine

Today, I also bought new trainers (Vans, but I still don't think I'm emo, even though I was walking around Next going "the Rivers look is gonna be big this winter!")

CDs (unspecified)

I don't want much! :)

Obviously there are thousands of CDs and books I need but can't entirely afford. A whole new hifi, certainly. But I have spent about a quarter of a million pounds already this week, so I should be a little restrained. (This is sort of true, in that I signed for a mortgage that will amount to something like that!)

A turntable, a digital camera, a new PC plus broadband, a Gameboy Advance and a Gamecube....I seem to have gadget mania at the moment, I was even looking at those silly Global Positioning things in Dixons with envy...what else? Tickets for two on an Antarctic cruise, please. A nice modern flat on a seafront somewhere, and another in London for weekends....the last thing I need is more CDs but it seems likely that's what I'll end up with.

Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 3 September 2002 19:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Every single gun/gadget in "xXx".

i'd like another amplifier, and a chorus pedal. but i'm not peeing my pants about it. actually, i feel really satisfied with my possessions, and have done all year.

di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 4 September 2002 00:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

iPod, iBook.

That's about it, I think. :) I am a wannabe Apple-boy, but have not the money to become one.

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 4 September 2002 01:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

where do I start?

I actually did get a luxury item by buying the Sennheiser Hd-25 headphones for $237, but I had been saving for a long time.
Last winter, I saw a Prada leather coat in Florence that fit perfectly. It was caramel, and fit like a sports coat/jacket. It was at least $1500. Fuck it. I do need to go back to London, though. Very badly. Very very badly. I might swim.

The tape record deck on my stereo system broke when I was making a mix tape for a beautiful girl who I have not spoken to since. Maybe I was being too forward by putting "music is the key" and "devotion" on it :-). so I guess I need a new hifi along with my pride!

Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 4 September 2002 03:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh I want, I want ...

An i-book
Someone to overhaul my i-mac
new stereo, pref. nice staking system
broadband internet connection
A new pair of trainers (actually becomming a necessity as current pair are more hole than trainer and I can't wear heels all the time.)
The perfect black pencil skirt
Pair of black knee high boots
New winter coat

Guerlian Mitsouko body lotion to match my perfume

And (in the world of impossible dreams) a nice flat where I can live on my own in the centre of London and not have to put up with my wanker flatmate.
