What are you lucky enough to have but never use?

[categorychaos]

Could be anything really and am hoping it’s this is a lighthearted thread.

I live less than 100 metres from the beach but hardly ever go there. I love “knowing” it’s there but seem to also forget it’s there somehow.

So what do you perhaps take for granted or don’t realise how others would appreciate it?

A campervan. The shame.

Home gym in garden building. Occasionally wander in and use the treadmill because it has media on it so can scroll through fb.

I live in "Midsomer" and in AONB. When we moved here we planned to have masses of walks and country air. Now we just grumble about how hilly everything is. My SIL came to visit and was getting really excited about all the filming locations and the beauty of the area taking loads of photos!

Massive garden. The catch is it's in rural North East Scotland and it's almost always windy. I'd love to eat outside regularly in the summer, but it's just not pleasant to be in usually unless you are in 4 layers and digging or planting. I love looking out to it though!

I am very lucky to have a Bentley Continental GT, we are always on holiday and I don't get to drive it enough with the roof down. I do take it to the supermarket, but it's not the same as going on a long run in the sun.

I think that's always the case, if you live near somewhere you take it for granted but never 'use' it. We lived in Germany when the girls were young and when we came over to UK in Summer we went to lots of places other family members had never been to.

I live beside a famous park. We can walk to it but we don't go in because of the deer and the ticks. One of our dogs got lymes disease so I won't risk it.

We were a bit like that on a Nile cruise, 'another day, another temple', similarly in the US we tend to get Canyon fatigue!
I certainly found the Uffizi hard work even though we went over two days and also in Rome by the time we reached the Sistine Chapel through the Museums we had almost lost interest.

Any tips? I would love to learn to keep my cool a bit more! x

An expensive one-off outdoor kitchen with inset green egg barbeque…..
Used twice in 4 years
Sad 🥴

I live 5 minutes from Bicester Village but never go there. So many people tell me how lucky I am, I just don’t get it….😄

I've got a hatch which we never actually use but when we had a new kitchen fitted and it was suggested we get rid of it i was horrified.
I love my little hatch and besides that the cats use it to jump through even though they are NOT allowed on the kitchen counters.

An ironing board 🙄

Technically, a second house. We don't use it but do rent it out!

Airfryer

David Lloyd gym membership.

A kitchen garden with four fruit trees. It’s overgrown and in desperate need of some TLC,

I was in the Uffizi and a Japanese tourist was using a laser pointer to show things! You don’t use a laser pointer on anything valuable esp 16th oil paintings! He was escorted out

I am feeling very poor, hard done by and lacking in space on reading this thread 😂🤪😂

I have one and actually used it the other day 🤣

My DH 🤔🙄🤭😝

We have 200 acres of bluebell wood at the end of our lawn.
I very occasionally go into it despite it being absolutely stunning. ( It was amazing to have during lockdown.)

I have lots of ‘things’ in storage, we are trying to remember what they are so we can get rid and stop paying the fees.
First aid kit was my first thought, I check whenever we are going to the UK, and replace bits as needed/ood.
Moving around has made us much better at getting rid, or actually using things such as wedding cutlery and china. We do have a small ‘blow lamp’ which I insisted I needed for the top of crème brûlée making, it has obviously never been used and still languishes in the cupboard, without the gas canister.
I hardly ever wore jewellery until a very wise friend asked me what I was waiting for, my (non existent) dil to inherit? She added she will probably hate you, they all do!

We had booked for the Uffizi and as we came out an American heard we were speaking English and asked us if the door we'd come through was the way in. When I said No and pointed to the massive queue further away he got really stroppy with me, apparently Yurp is a useless place!

Condoms.
