2017 sabattical

For some reason I cannot spell, pronounce, apply or stick to the word you are discussing.

Let's get it straight, the word for you is too much to boar.
 
So this sabbatical, this is genuine? Why not just bang your head against a wall till you pass out repeating I will not spend money - or simply realise you can circumvent the pain and guilt by exercising will power. I "will" buy in 2017. You are destined to fail. Face it, you are a wet shaver trying to convince yourself this saves you money.

Thanks for your support.

I thought a sabbatical group might work like Weight Watchers or AA.

Hell. It couldn't hurt.
 
Sabbaticals and me have a rocky relationship... I'm a bit afraid of posting in this thread as last time I did it I scored an instant "Sabbatical Fail" banner. [emoji15]

I will say @filobiblic just be like me and accept the fact you will be buying more shaving gear next year. life is easier that way :whistle:

Of course you can always tell the better half you are on a sabbatical ;)

It not about the money, I just want to slow down and enjoy what I have. Thought the idea would be neat.

If you guys need a "support group" then I'll send out for some fluffy pillows, some comfort dogs and maybe even someone to give you a hug. Come on man up. If you have a problem over spending -- and we all do at times.
[1] Sign off ebay
[2] Sign off [**vendor**]
[3] Face your responsibility and don't whine to others.
[4] Seek a genuine financial counsellor.
My initial posts were in light manner - so you don't miss understand there are no emoticons - I personally don't care what you spend. I am not your support bunny and have my own responsibilities to face.
So having vented, I hope you, whom ever you may be do not spend beyond what will impact other areas of your life.
By the way, this is support.
 
@bald as

Well, this is not really intended as a support group. Just a bit of lighthearted fun. It's a interesting experiment on my part as I never had much restraint. I don't think there was any whining at any point last year. But I may have joined a bit late and missed the fireworks.

Ps. I just want a sabbatical fail badge like all the cool kids. [emoji28][emoji23]

As Sergeant Hulka said, "Lighten up Francis."
 
Personally I have spent too much this year. It hasn't hurt us financially and we are not struggling as a result but I have come to the realization that I need to show some restraint and this has already begun. I can't say that I won't buy anything shaving related in 2017 because I know I will, definitely not as much as in 2016 though.

+1 me too :unsure::sneaky::whistle::oops::cautious::coffee:
 
I just picked up one of the last remaining "must have" items on the very last day of 2016.

Now considering whether I could actually join in on this 2017 Sabbatical business.....

Wolfman SB with a WRH1 handle - excactly what I was looking for!

Picked up a titanium handle with it as well - not 100% sure whether I am that keen on the handle but I have been wanting to try one.

Oh look :) - up in the sky is it Sabbatical man - no - no my mistake - just another pink pig flying low over Prospect :)

There will be another brush [or three] and there will be more soaps and don't forget the possibilty of a cheap brass Wolfman. But hey just ask me and I will offer my "genuine" support.

If I got a sabbatical fail banner for a cheap brass Wolfman or a BBS-1 at a reasonable price I would be a very happy man Steve.

Perhaps I could go 12 months without buying a brush? I am only averaging 2-3 a month at the moment.....

Soap? I think I have enough to get me by for a while LOL. Otherwise I know a guy that makes some really really good quality soap here in SA ;)
 
So are we going to have an official list somewhere? I need to make a decision as to whether I am doing this or not and lock myself in before I waver LOL

When speaking of lists and by extension spreadsheets there is none better than @Mark1966
