What is the most useless object you have ever bought?
Watch this postI bought a new pack of fairly expensive clothes pegs last month hoping to peg out my laundry when the weather improves only to find that each one I have tried to use has snapped in half!
Not only a waste of money but extremely frustrating.
I'm sure, like me, many of you have bought lots of useless objects over the years, whether expensive or cheap, big or small, it would be lovely to hear your stories. Melina 🙂

And another bad buy were a pair of hold up tights that didn't hold up for more than 10 minutes. I looked like Nora Battie for most of the day!

I am kicking myself that I ditched my bread maker! Perhaps we should all dust off our forgotten items and gibe them another chance?!
It didn't work .... No matter how much and how long I shook the wretched thing, the cream remained resolutely unwhipped! What a waste of money; but if you have one and it works really well, please don't tell me!

Best wishes
