Wanky things you’re guilty of

[Pumpkittenspice]

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

I am actually sitting on my hands as I desperately want the Halloween Hamper. It's £300, but could be used year after year for Autumnal and Halloween decorating wankery.

When DD moved in to Halls of Residence she arrived with her cherished Le Crueset Camembert Baker and a set of mulberry silk pillowcases. I feel I have successfully handed down the wankery baton to the next generation.

Your DD wins! 🏅

It honestly brought a tear to my eye and I thought 'My work here is done '

@Arraminta mine went with a Jack Wills uni starter kit and her collection of Lakeland organic icing tints!

Netball trainers with my initials on them. And a zippy bag that says "forget the glass slippers, this princess wears netball trainers".

Oh they would have been best friends!

Looks like I'm not too wanky.

No Le Creuset
No Fortnum and Mason hamper
No personalised number plates and no BMW/Audi/Volvo/Range Rover
No Mulberry bag (or designer bag of any sort)
No Jo Malone (except once when someone gave me some as a present)
No Botox or lip fillers
No regular manicures (have had my nails done once in my life - and no it wasn't for a wedding)!
Never heard of Aesop (except in the context of fables)
No Farrow and Ball

However, I do have a dry robe, though in my defence it's a different make and I usually only wear it for beach-related activities (last used a couple of weeks ago when sitting outside a pub in North Devon until 9pm after an evening swim).

I also use cake forks and have a grand piano, and at Christmas I make my own wreath and decorate the house with masses of ivy and holly (and mistletoe when I can get it).

Enabler! I really don’t need a third hamper! 😂

Wanky cake forks in regular use
F and M hamper NOT on display, it’s under bed storage
Mulberry silk pillow case and silk stuffed pillows
I want to be like PP who goes to France for her butter, and the one who casually mentioned her music studio.
Stunt fancy pan
Records. And two players.
Edited when I remembered the DC have the pretty classic books

I have a plain wicker hamper from Lakeland.

thinking of spraying F&M on it in black……

@GellerYeller just to note, I live 10 minutes from the French Border, so closer to the butter than most. But yeah, it's still wanky. 😂😂😂

I'm late to this thread, and it may have been said already, but I think that's a tray cloth, not a tea towel

(Not that I'm disputing your wanky aspirations )

😂 I applaud your commitment to ‘Beurre Excellence’ by hopping over the border!

Can we have some fun ladies? I'm on the pip bashing thread and it's seriously shite.
I went to Marks food today and bought nothing I needed. But it was all lovely for £90. We used a Sainsbury's and Aldi bag as the DH won't play this nonsense. However we came home to the lickies of our cockapoo. Still wankey.

And the lady in front of us had a serious Hermes cross body bag.

There's nothing wrong with liking nice things or doing things like nails/botox that make you feel good. I get that some people can't afford these things and it's not nice to boast to others but that doesn't mean anyone should feel guilty.

And to be honest, throwing away a hamper basket is more wanky than repurposing it.

I was just on Right Move, come on own up, whoever it is? 😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Is that a lonely planet guide casually placed on top of it?! If so, extra points for that one.

My two year old kicked off for bao buns today.

Not me, but an ex-relative by marriage, put ‘caviare spreaders’ on her wedding gift list. IIRC they had mother of pearl handles and cost £45 each - and this was well over 20 years ago. She wanted half a dozen.

The list was at a very smart London shop. I phoned to order something else and while I was at it, asked whoever it was whether people really did buy caviare spreaders, because I found the mere idea hilariously wanky (not that I said it in quite those words!)
He said he felt the same - and was def. laughing as he spoke.

Personalised number plates are literally the opposite of ‘classy’
