A suit for a job interview for my ex. Stupid because:
- i bought it on a credit card
- he was a lazy oaf who had no real intention of actually getting a job
I also ended up buying a replacement door pane for our rented flat when we moved out, 6 months after he put his foot through it and promised to fix it.
And it still took another year before I got rid of him!0 -
Exercise equipment, all gathering dust, but now has been eBayed or Freecycled.
Various kitchen gadgetry - always go back to the old favourites because they're easier to clean.
Cat beds. They prefer a cardboard box, tea towel, newspaper, my bed (list is endless).0 -
