I spent a lot of money but have nothing to show for it. I've learned from that mistake and will never do it again.

The bag of minstrels I bought last night.

Have you seen the price of chocolate these days?

Did I regret it, fuck yes. I couldn’t taste them thanks to the beginnings of a cold.

A multi gym during lockdown. I got plenty of use out of it but since the gyms reopened it’s just been sat in the spare room because I can’t be bothered to take it down and sell it.

Take a picture of it and ask for them to assemble it

unless you're like me and worried they're going to smash a hole in your wall or something

I hadn’t thought about that. Asking them to do it that is, not the hole in the wall

I bought the box set of It Ain’t Half Hot Mum from Amazon, remember watching it as a kid…. Should have left it there, I got to episode 5 on the first disc before giving up. It’s too shouty, and noisy & my poor head can’t take it, ended up with a migraine

Anyone want to buy it off me?

Children..... The little buggers were fun to begin with but now won't leave the house and drive us nuts.

Regret - ask us when they choose our nursing home.

My audi R8, was a absolute financial nightmare, nothing but issues, typical crap audi handling, it had engine issues, leaked when it rained, windows froze up on the inside in winter, interior rattled, dashboard worked WHEN it wanted too. Then set on fire. I hated that car with a passion

it sounded good and looked good that was it!

You’re on point with this one. I have quit recently, smoking helped me tolerate things more but it does ebb away at cash.

It’s like anything, until that switch in your mind switch that says you’re done you’ll keep falling back into it.

A baby walker for our eldest. He was so desperate to walk we thought it was a great idea. But he was only about 9 months old and short as anything so his feet couldn't touch the ground on the lowest setting. He walked on his own at 11 months anyway.

The other pair used it a little but had the same issues with being short and walking early.

The seat fabric went mouldy in storage and one of the toys broke and left a sharp edge so we binned it rather than passing it on which felt horrible.

It's so rare we buy brand new stuff for the kids, pretty much everything is second hand, so I'm not used to new prices and it felt a waste.

My ex?

That's not true; she gave me some lovely memories and my son. I'd say that was a good investment.

A television set. It has been sitting there for 11 months and has been switched on for a total of about 3 hours in that time!

I once read the engine in this car described as sounding like a “skeleton having a wank in a biscuit tin”. The book was by Tim Moore, funny guy.

I bought a Mercedes’ C63 AMG and drove it a grand total of 8 times.

I made most of my money back but not all.

It cost me roughly £7000 to drive it 8 times.
