Definitely cars. Hate everything about showrooms and the haggling process. Tried to bribe family members to act on my behalf. No joy..

MrsMoastyToasty · 12/07/2023 01:06

Food
Anything gardening related

HeddaGarbled · 12/07/2023 01:32

Yeah, cars. Tell me the price and I’ll decide whether I want it or not. Can’t be doing with all that pretending to check with the manager and throwing in the floor mats for free malarkey.

Cheezecake · 12/07/2023 03:01

Computers. I can't be arsed with trying to understand all that techy stuff. No money now, so not a current concern. One small yay for being broke.

stargirl1701 · 12/07/2023 03:13

Books, books and more books!

Shellista · 12/07/2023 03:18

Swimwear. So demoralising. You have an idea of how it might look lovely on you as you're putting it on, and then you see yourself in the changeroom mirror.

stargirl1701 · 12/07/2023 03:46

Clothes.

Catsmere · 12/07/2023 04:11

Shirts. Can't even find any decent ones in op shops at present. Everything's frilly patterned 3/4 sleeve low-cut. I just want a size 20 plain long-sleeved dark coloured business-type or denim shirt - without having to pay 80 bucks for it!

Groutyonehereagain · 12/07/2023 04:21

Petrol, I silently cheer when DH fills up so I don’t have to!
I’ve sorted bras though. I know my size and the style I like, from M & S so I just order online. 😎

Discretionassured · 12/07/2023 04:46

Bras and trousers, I have massive boobs and am short and fat so big-enough cup sizes and short-enough leg lengths are a nightmare. That said I have dropped on both just lately, bras and summer trousers that actually fit me (Asda) and a singular pair of jeans in the style I like and the right leg length (Tesco) so am doing better than usual atm! Completely by chance though, if I'd gone out looking for them I would have come back with nothing Angry
