So some of us got all carried away during the good old times when the bank threw money at us like confetti.
So its time to confess your sins to Father Finnegan.
What is the most pointless ridiculous thing you wasted money on during the boom?
Ill start the ball rolling

Ill admit i bought a roll of fake plastic grass for the side of my driveway as i was too lazy to cut the grass lol :eek: . Threw down some black bags and rolled it out.........
CRINGE and before you ask..... Yes it did look completely ridiculous. Lasted about 2 hours down

Finnegan looks on is dismay and embarressment:eek:

we didn't really benefit from the boom years. Didn't have enough money to splash about, lived within our means and made no lavish purchases.
