What a waste of money.
« on: June 11, 2012, 19:09:26 PM »
julie205, in response to a thread elsewhere, said that she thought people who pay £ 8 for a packet of fags are off their trolley.

So what is it that other folks spend their hard earned pennies on that would make you think that they were off their trolley.

I have a passion for sunglasses and watches. Lost count how many of each I have but it's a ridiculous amount. I am making a big effort to stop buying them.

Expensive tea's and coffee, status symbol designed to impress.  There is very little that impresses me!

Handbags. Absolutely horrific that a bag can cost hundreds (and even thousands) of pounds. It's a bag.
