December 2015


  • BOUGHT - two OOP Santa figures from Wargames Foundry (+3 freebies!)  £4.00
  • BOUGHT - Warhammer Fantasy 2nd Edition (boxed, complete) £4.00
  • SOLD - a bunch (approx 160*) of 15mm HYW figures £36.10
  • BOUGHT - three oldhammer undeads from FB £5.00
  • TOTAL for December - £28.10   (-32/24/56)


Total net. expenditure for 2015 to date         = £182.68
Remaining acceptable expenditure for 2015 = £-32.68

In something similar to the LAF lead-hoarders vow, I'm also recording the number of figures purchased versus the number painted, which is what the numbers in brackets after each month's total represents - (net unpainted acquired/painted/net total for the month). *I'm counting the 15mm I sold as 0.25 figures for this purpose. So, here you go:

Net. unpainted figures acquired in 2015   = 25
Of which, painted to date        = 26
Total no. figures painted         = 56

Net. unpainted hoarding status 31

Yeah, baby, finishing the year in the green! For hoarding at least, if not for spending ;)

So, a whole year of keeping track. It has kept my spending down and I take a certain pride in having managed to reduce my leadpile by so much! I'm not sure I'll be quite so detailed in 2016, but I will keep track, if only to keep Malc happy!

Toodle-oo,
Rab

  1. well I win on spending....only £80 spent....painting wise not so good, 18 models gained this year and only 16 painted, so more unpainted to add to the pile (plus took 2 years to paint those 16 models!!!)

    however lego: gained 7 new sets at xmas, only 2 built so far so the lego pile has gone up a lot more lol!!!

    1. Lego is far more expensive than wargaming! We got our two the Lego castle that was recently retired. I think it is code 70404...

      You need to get painting, mate!
