For me it's Gin.

Agas

Yes they are aesthetically charming...but that's where the positives end. Summers and Agas - v bad combo. Had one in my old house and pasta either boiling dry in two minutes or being ready the next day got old v quickly. Installed an Everhot in my current house, soooo much better than my old Aga yet still retains the old-world charm of an Aga.

Influencers.

Fake tan, eyelashes, hair, eyebrows, lips, contouring, fillers etc. Why would you want to be interchangeable with everyone else?

Reality tv.

Coffee shops.

Pandora.

Dickens.

Sweeteners. They’re not better for you, just give me sugar or nothing.

Sorry not read through the thread but for me it’s Prosecco. The stuff is rank and tastes disgusting... 🤢
We were given a reasonably expensive bottle as a gift once- we took one sip of the stuff and poured it all down the sink.
It’s fucking vile.

Joe Malone candles. I was given one as a gift and I was beyond chuffed, I'd always wanted one but they are so expensive. I googled the price and it was £44! Couldn't wait to light it but was so disappointed, it literally smelt of nothing except hot wax.🥴

Pandora-cheap imitation of children’s plastic jewellery, looks fake and is common as muck.

Grey walls-why do you want your house to look like a prison?

Kids😉 could take them or leave them!

silverbubbles · 14/01/2021 19:51

going shopping for clothes or in fact shopping for anything - online is a much better experience.

the shops never have what you need or the right size, much more choice/ price options/ even better customer service when shopping from home.

And....dogs! (Sorry I know I’m alone on them but I just can’t over the fact that if they touch me in any way I have to wash my hands. And I can always smell them. Even if your house is the cleanest thing on earth and you bath your dog twice a day there is always a smell.)
