What has been the thing that you thought at the time was a good idea, but later realised you wished you hadn't brought it?.

Mine is a early version of a MP3 player/jukebox the size of a portable cd player that cost over £200 and was a complete pile of crap.

Far too many things to list. I have a compulsive collecting problem.

I'm not sure what the biggest waste has been, there have been so many.

Don't pay it simple !!! If they call an want to no why no matter what they say or threaten so long as you say or sighn nothing an keep to that no matter what and by the way your under no obligation to even tell them your name there is nothing they can do about it. You could get better use of your money setting fire to it if your hands where cold

I'm seriously I'm not fucking joking..

Seriously, Friday I met my mum for a coffee as I don't see them a lot really.

And she straight up, spent £165 quid on a pair of trainers.

She won't go and look for a pair for herself, she has to call an assistant who is naturally going to sell her something she doesn't need.

My mum is such an easy sell, I told her that too.

Cheers mate, she has shattered my illusions of what could have been.

Greedy girls now take on a whole new meaning to me when I'm struggling to put some electric on my meter and wondering where my next penny is coming from. I do work when I can on minimum wage though
