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.

They sell semen in straws? I'm assuming you don't blow down one end to "complete the transaction"!!???!! :eek:

My biggest expenditure is wedding dresses, ive been married three times!

My brothers biggest expenditure - x file cards, his 'broker' in London used to ring him with good ones to buy....

My mam and dad's biggest expenditure, £800 on an apple computer to 'skype' they don't even know what that is, and never use the thing!!

Ahhhh... The wonderful world of trading cards, I'd forgotten about those...

I spent £300 on a complete set of Garbage Pail kids collector cards about 6 years ago only to have my youngest niece cut "the ugly babies" out still, it kept her quiet for an hour or so...

A beautiful, but very 'dressy' dress that cost £80 (a fortune by my usual standards!) that's so glamorous I've only had occasion to wear twice, and one of those times was to a pub, when I was determined to celebrate my birthday in style! My OH is the worst demon around here for gadgets - the biggest waste of money was a very smart telescope that was several hundreds of pounds that he must have used perhaps ten times in total over the past five years. I told him so at the time, but he insisted I was wrong. His latest secret yearning is for a head-cam for his skiing helmet. As he manages about ten days' a year in total, and has every other bit of kit imaginable, I'm fighting a losing battle on the 'What on earth will you use it for?' front, but I'm persevering.

A £100 graphic calculator to help with my A-Level Maths. I never figured out how to use it, ended up taking my crappy £5 calculator into the exam, and came out with an E :rotfl:
