Wanky things you’re guilty of

[Pumpkittenspice]

For me, it’s using a Fortnum and Mason hamper basket as a piece of decor…

My whole house is painted in F&B (even the exterior paint)

My kitchen units and AGA (I know totes wankesville…) have been colour-matched to my F&B palette (cringing at palette now 😬 what a wanky thing to say..)

all the usuals, Dualit everything, stunt towels, stunt champers bottles, stunt handwash the lot - oh the shame of been a first class wanker lol 😂

I recently said 'my palm trees were blocking my sun in the garden' then realised I sounded like a right wanker 😁

I didn't plant them. They're just unkillable bastards which do in fact block my sun.

@HauntedbyMagpies😭these are gorgeous.

Treat yourself for Christmas 😊

My friend has a cupboard next to her front door that they just hang coats in and keep the hoover jn.

She calls it 'the cellar' and should definitely be on this thread 😁

I also peacock my (not oxo cubes) in a vintage oxo cube tin 🤣

Great thread. I have a trug and long to waft daintily round the garden,snipping flowers and laying them gently within it.

However it resides mostly in the shed with dirty gardening tools and mouse droppings in it.

Lol, so does my friends mum, she calls it the cloakroom!.

Probably the wankiest thing I've ever done is bought a knock-off branded key ring for my used Land Rover as the fob didn't come with one. What a wanker! I mean, who cares? Oh, and our top landing is called 'the library' cos it has armchairs and a bookcase.
We chopped the palm trees down because they are, indeed, bastards. 😂

wanky ( though I am just jealous! ) = saying you threw your f & m unwanted hampers into your knackered old stables 🤣💐

There was a similar thread on here a few months ago. I now have a secret crush on the person who admitted to putting her washing up liquid into a glass decanter!

I have other nice whicker baskets with lids I too save and use for other things of the decorative order.

I haven't got a F & H but do have have a large M & S one and others smaller..

Oh wow - I love to decant things (I decant mouthwash into a fancy glass decanter but i haven't decshted washing up liquid...i just hide it in the cupboard under the sink), or at least i love the idea of it, because the reality is that I find I have a cupboard full of half empty packets where I couldn't fit all of the product into the container!

We use an F&M hamper for bog rolls. I can't decide if that's wanky or sticking it to the man.

I've got a Fortnum & Mason hessian bag for life that I take food shopping, it holds my collection of Waitrose hessian shopping bags 😂
Also White Company shower gel, always.
Spare bedroom is also my library, I've got 3 bookcases in there
Do I qualify?

I have found my people.

😂Love it

Oh god I love this @BanksysSprayCan

Please tell me your child is addressed thus:

Tarquin, dahling, the Duke's Finest Pheasant for lunch today. And I do not want you swapping with Henry for cheese strings like last time!

(It always has to be the Duke's Finest Pheasant after a dream I had about a lavish feast where I was sat next to the Duke of Devonshire and I enquired as to what we were eating. His answer came, in the poshest drawl...My dear, Its the Finest Pheasant).

I am a bit wanky you see, but only in my dreams.

I can aspire.

Oh for Jo Malone candles and tweedy dog walking attire!

I saw a flat woven trug for flowers in a charity shop recently. So wanted to buy it.

Hope someone has, and is treasuring some wanky moments floating about on an Indian summer afternoon, hair freshly washed, snipping echinacea blooms amid clouds of peacock butterflies....

Le creuset kettle on hob.
Smeg filter coffee machine.
Toe nails done.
Yearly facial.
Posh face creams.
Tom Forde neroli body spray - cañt afford the perfume.
😳

Forgot the two pairs of Dubarry Galway boots in different colours. I wankerly paid a huge premium for the name, not sorry.

Some years ago, one of my neighbours gave me a tin of Fortnum & Mason biscuits as a Christmas present. They came in a cylindrical tin. I now use the tin to store my round cotton wool pads.

At home we had a solid silver candle snuffer.

Does the cupboard somehow go lower than the level of the front door? Why is she calling it the cellar???

I do refer to the cupboard at the top of my stairs as 'the clothes room' but it is very big - stick a window and heating in and it could be a (tiny) bedroom. And I do store all the out of season outer wear in there, along with all the other junk I want out of sight.

We have decanters.
I recently posted a Nolly Prat pic on a week day with a predictable hashtag.
I see your grape scissors, fish knives and mussels tongs and give you the cherry stoner. Moved house with us several times, never used but might be one day, when I’m living my other life.
Daughter put an enormous dragon fruit on the conveyor belt. How much! But basket was lacking in fruit and veg and to avoid the cashier’s derision I paid and left. Cabbage stew for the rest of the week.

And I need a F & M hamper.
