    Biggest waste was untold amounts of pocket money between 12 and 15, taking girls on dates to the cinema... It took me quite a few films and boxes of popcorn until I worked out I'd rather hold hands with their brothers (well, not all of them!!!)

    Oh this is too easy... cars! I don't even want to think how much I have spent on cars in the last 7 years.

    Otherwise deciding the play ice hockey probably cost around £500 in kit. Although i did get about 2/3 of it back with some successful eBay'ing!

    My ex! this seems to be a recurring theme! still he's gone now and the debts are disappearing and it's possible to leave the house without being stalked...
    Life is good!

    Mine was my ex too.Left him after 15 years of marriage - he got 200,000 house, business, car,motorbikes,pension,endowments etc etc.... I got a toothbrush and six pairs of knickers:rotfl: ..........but worth every penny to get shut:D :D:D

    Mine would include
    - £440 on my recent OU course, withdrawn due to ill health, can only get half my money back, so £440 wasted
    - £200 on a business loan application in 2002, turned down because I had had one bank charge! I felt so guilty as my dad gave me the money.
    - buying a brand new car, got half my money back 2 years later

    Gosh I've never wasted money, everything I ever bought was a bargain! :rolleyes:
    If I only had a pound for every time I've said or thought 'but it's only £x...'
    Then I worked out what the total of all the 'only' £xs was... :o
