Great examples! Just goes to show that the results of impulsive mania can have boundaries due to income. :-)
And yes.. maybe not funny when these things happen. But it's nice that my wife and I can look back and see some humour in it. She won't discuss pottery though.

The Mini Cooper....actually she loved that one!! The only manic purchase I've got away with, well that and a Caribbean holiday I booked at the same time as the Mini.
There's a bit of a theme with cars, I've bought a few more cars than what I've listed. A Pdoc I spoke to said she had a client once who would buy Rolls Royces when he was manic!
Obviously spending vast amounts of money isn't funny, but if I don't laugh I'll cry! And the metal detector was quite funny, I was convinced I'd find a Viking hoard of gold.
