Spontanious Purchases now gathering dust !

Chocolate fondue set - who the hell needs to meet loads of chocolate and waste half of it.
Ice cream maker - the whole point of ice cream is that you want to eat it NOW not in 48 hours.

Pair of fake arms. I bought them because they reminded me so much of my own arms.

Mine has a really uncomfortable seat, so after a few mins your bum gets really sore. It doesnt want me to use it!

A set of weights. I did about nine reps of a certain exercise with a barbell the day I got it and literally haven't lifted it since.

The Rocky boxset. It was only on the way home from town that I realised I had absolutely no desire to watch any of them. I'll bring it back one day.

A drill. You know in like Bond films when the villain threatens to drill somebody's head? They couldn't do that with my drill, a wonderful €25 job from Woodies. The yoke spins in slow motion. Bond would laugh his hole off if somebody put it to his head and started drilling. Fully charged and all but it doesn't penetrate much. I'll bring it back one day.

I'm not a very intelligent consumer

...but you won't and we all know you won't and what's more YOU know you won't either.

George Foreman Grill
Slow Cooker (tried once, result was gack, gave up. also too big for the 2 of us, so a massive pot of gack)
SNES & Amiga
My 3rd Bike - Bike to work scheme; through my own messing, ended up with a frame that's too big for me. Can't/won't cycle it but still love it and can't bare to sell
Various tools and DIY bits from Aldi/Lidl - Sander, drill bits, screws, paintbrushes

The One Doctor

FPV plane plus all the bits, camera, homemade goggles, controller, blah blah. Waste of €1000. Used it twice.

Saitek rudder pedals. Gathered dust.

TrackIR4. Used it once.

I don't understand why people are not using their George Foreman grill. I think they are brilliant.

I'm trying to figure out when the best time to check Adverts for spontaneously bought New Year resolution exercise bikes. I want one, but I figure the best thing to do would be to take advantage of someone else's spontaneous purchase.

I can't really think of any that I've made, though I'm sure I have. Probably a small electric saw, but I'm sure I'll use it some day, when I have something small that needs sawing.

Never buy anything with the word 'maker' in it, for most people it will only be used one or twice.

TG1

My horse... I had her a few months, fell off and broke myself up and someone else has been looking after her for me since. Ok so she's not quite gathering dust but may as well be!

Road bike

Bought it last year with the intention of cycling to get fit after a hip operation. Then I got diagnosed with osteoarthritis so I cant cycle it. Anyone want to buy a bike?

razorblunt

A guitar.
I'd love to spontaneously trade it in somewhere soon too.

Get the George Foreman out again, head down to Lidl and pick up a few packs of their streaky rashers (smoked are the best)
Ole George removes all the yucky greasy fatty guilt while simultaneously leaving behind heavenly,delicious, crispy, rasher goodness.
Sunday mornings will never be the same.

In answer to the op, I have a Halogen oven that has cooked a single chicken fillet in it's entire working life (2 years).

Everything is healthy if cooked in a George foreman

Same. I thought Fallout 4 would get me interested again. Played for five hours on launch day and haven't switched it on since
