Apparently it’s a waste of money and we should use cloths instead 😂

Ha! I was about to chime in with support but nearly fainted at brand new cars 😂

I also do (I think) many, many things that I’m sure majority of posters would be disgusted by. I do laundry constantly AND use the tumble dryer Nothing is worn twice. I drive my - nearly new - car even short distances. It’s a hybrid, though so maybe redeemable? No shoes in the house, I hoover and mop every day.

I am also a massive advocate for divorcing shitty men and say it in every other thread!

Honestly people on here are a different breed who are terrified of upf and financially struggle on a 100k salary.

Yes…I know it’s area dependent but we earn approx 140k as a household and feel very very comfortable.

Do you dare to have a pyjama day?
Do you love a regular cheeky McDonalds?
Do you love it when the poo troll pops up because you love a bit of poo chat?

I do 2/3 of your list. Love kitchen roll.

I've been to Poland for the day. Twice. It was fab.

I also buy kitchen roll. And fabric softener, which is another MN offence.

Obviously if I didn't spend an estimated £10 a year on kitchen roll and £5 a year on fabric softener I'd be a millionaire. Or something.

Do you have a…. {{looks around furtively…whispers…}} toilet brush?

I think you're feeling way more on the edge than you are. Loads of Mners live in new builds, and regularly proclaim their advantages, wamrth, and energy-efficiency.

My question is -- at what point does a new build become an old build? Is a house built in the nineties a new build?

IPM · 19/03/2026 09:45

Not to to boast but I too buy kitchen rolls and I answer the door to random strangers without shaking and crying behind the sofa.

How many meals do you get from one chicken?

More importantly, what size are your salads?

You risk being banned with this type of information.

seanconneryseyebrow · 20/03/2026 14:18

I own a new build, hate recycling, own a toilet brush, love Christmas tat, always buy tat in gift shops, - but I never answer my door so I’ve redeemed myself
