Sometimes waiting pays off . . .
I've wanted a breadmaker for ages. Before I found MSE.com I would have bought a breadmaker on credit and paid way over the odds for it just to have it right away. With my new MSE attitude, I decided to save up for one instead (using some ideas in the PIN money threads :D ), and it's lucky I did because I found a Morphy…

Of course I've now gone and spent £90+ on an exercise bike! So thank…
