What's your biggest waste of money ?

[MojitoPlease12]

Ok so currently fuming at myself and my stupidity because I purchased something by accident thinking it was an upgrade for an item but it was infact the same one I already owned. It's the type of thing that cannot be resold.

Company have refused to help even though I proved already having the item etc etc . Anyway.... £60 down the drain on nothing .

Also started a small hobby business but struggling to see how I'll get the money back that I put in (not mlm btw) so another £300 gone (be lucky to get £100)

What's your biggest waste of money lately? Make me feel better that it's not just me who throws money into the wind and kicks myself for weeks on end about it.

DH called me really excited as he'd fallen in love with a camper van on eBay. We agreed to buy it and he paid the £300 deposit. Upon further research he discovered that that model are notoriously unreliable money pits. So we pulled out and lost the deposit. He's usually very cautious with money too!

Make up - manage to buy tons of it! Two lovely sun loungers I bought as it was hot - two days before the weather turned - I have sat on them twice! Clothes and shoes for work - despite working from home for more than a year now! My now ex husband was a very expensive mistake too….

£6,000 terrace we had built at the start of the summer. We've sat on it maybe twice as the weather has been so useless.

Still, there's always next year!

@GreatOak That's a whole Mumsnet thread on its own!!

@Ticksallboxes, you are so right about that! It nearly was a whole thread in itself as there was so much drama behind it and I was so cross (but mostly with myself). It was a very expensive lesson in what happens when you ignore your instincts.

I paid around £200 for a kitchen bin, £50 for a bread bin, and £45 for a washing up bowl which is now useless because the plug got list when I moved.

I kept buying them because I had enough money, and they complimented the chromatic theme of my kitchen.

I'm not proud of this, BTW.
