What's the stupidest thing you've ever spent money on?

Classic car that I rarely drove.

I've spent a fortune on clothes "that'll fit if I lose some weight". Never lost the weight, so sold a lot on Ebay for a fraction of what I'd paid.

Also, I recently got the grand sum of £35.71 for my CD collection on Music Magpie, which over the years has probably run to thousands!

Ah well, you live and learn...

Once, I thought I looked ace (this was the 90's) and went out in them coupled with purple flame cowboy boots, big flouncy pirate shirt and a red and black striped bandanna...

I can still hear the sniggers to this day! I still have the boots and bandanna somewhere I think

That sounds migraine inducing :eek:

I had a gold lurex slash neck top and a turquoise satin crinkled dinner jacket, long bleached hair with red and black stripes in and backcombed until vertical, we were all young once, this was the late 80's, I wanted to look like Michael Monroe from Hanoi Rocks My stuff was pennies from a charity shop though

Bought a full leather interior for my car, sold the car before fitting it so had a leather interior sat in my garage for the best part of 4 years.

High-heeled shoes. Every few years or so I buy a pair, wear it twice, suffer, get rid of it. I don't know how them ladies do it.

Perhaps it should end now

I saw him live a few years back. :j

I don't think I've ever bought anything really stupid, but I wasted a lot of money buying things for other people and trying to keep a share house afloat on my own.

Semen!

Or to be specific, a straw of frozen semen to AI a broodmare, to produce a foal which turned out to have a condition which has cost me maybe £20k in (uninsured) vet bills.:eek:

Having said that, I love her and wouldn't be without her.

Not that I regret this as I needed it and it helped, I bought photographic studio lighting £2,000 and more equipment for my cameras and updating them.....then I left them behind me when I left my ex..... Why because it wasnt worth the aggro and abuse to go back and get them. Still got the cameras and lenses though, but no more business. You don't know what happens next.

BTW I am a lot happier now with my new partner, even without the lights hahahaa
