Excessive disposable incomes

Parents that put their infant children in expensive designer clothing such as Moncler, Stone Island and Balmain. If this is you, you're ridiculous and your child couldn't care less whether they've got a £200 jumper or a £3 tee shirt on their backs. You're doing it for your own self-importance and specifically your own narcissistic personality.
 
I have just found out I don't need a Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, but definitely do need a Mokapot. Are they easy to clean ?

Nespresso are OK, but I found the water was never hot enough. I got rid of mine and got this, which is amazing, although it's a pain in the **** (and messy) knocking the grounds out of the filter after every cup.

I know I'll be accused of being contrary but I've literally just burnt my tongue on a nespresso coffee before reading this. Maybe the vertuo ones are hotter?

I agree though they are a poor relation compared to something like what you've posted. A kind of halfway house between instant and your proper coffee machines.

Also I know not the only recommendation for a coffee machine but yours is beautiful. People spend thousands of pounds on kitchens and, for all their good, most nespresso machines look plasticky and cheap. The de'longhi wouldn't look out of place on the most high end of kitchens.

I still uss my nespresso now an then but find most taste a bit bitter, you can buy more environmentaly friendly capsules that work in a nespresso machine, also reusable pods

Are you near a nespresso store? I found the same problem but went in the store near me and they do a tasting to find your ideal flavour. I tend to like my coffee strong, but with nespresso I dialled back the strength and it reduced the bitterness a lot. I'm currently sipping an "afloriazo" and it's more to my taste.

children are very perceptive at seeing things for what they are
 
I have a private number plate that came with the car it is worth 300 pound and in no way looks private. I know it is worth 300 because my next door neighbor sells them. People are crazy.

My father in law has a private plate that is worth tens of thousands of pounds (he's been chased down the street and offered significant sums to sell). It's on a people carrier worth about 25k :LOL:

I need one thing to make my life complete.

A rice cooker 👍

YumAsia do great ones, although you may have to live with being chased down by FMTTM'ers that want to police your spending because pans exist. It's done perfect rice for us every time no matter the type of rice and have done other things like yoghurt and used it as a steamer. I wasn't entirely sold on the idea at first but glad we got it now as we use it at least once a week.

Judging by the majority of people I come across, they spend all their money on... cough... body art.

Oo, check this out. I have a realistic depiction of Buddha on my bicep. Watch me flex.

I may be showing my age but tattoos repulse me.

Or when they say they like em because of the art yet don't have the faintest clue who Jackson Pollock or Andy Warhol are nor do they have one piece of art on their walls... Yup mate you love art.

I met a guy who had a Sherlock Holmes tattoo and told him I'd recently purchased the Sherlock Holmes box set... He said he hadn't read any of them

Don't buy a cooker when there's free wood to be found....
