    George Forman grill. 3tier steamer and a ''must have'' Foot Spa. Now either under the sink, top of press, or in the shed. I bought a Bullworker once too

    Lots of books that turned out to be rubbish.

    Pretty good at making use of my purchases now that I think of it.


    Sorry for the boring answer.

    Don't really do spontaneous purchases, have to do the research first!

    Right now I want an iPad Pro or a Surface Pro 4, might take a couple of months to decide. :)

    A slow cooker. Underestimated the size of the bloody thing so only used it once and then packed it back in its box and stuck it under the stairs.
    On the positive side, the cats like sitting on the box

    Rice cooker. So pointless. Unless I'm cooking rice for about 6 people. There are 2 of us in the house.

    I hadn't heard of a Bullworker in years. My dad bought one back in the 80's.

    A real blast from the past. :D

    Lads, adverts is the way forward.

    I had a load of stuff, like old consoles , games, bike and other bits that I thought I'd use sometime when really there wasn't a hope.

    Every year you hold onto something useless it's worth less.

    So just get rid and let someone else do nothing with it.

    A JML GoChef.

    Saw it on one of those late night infomercials and HAD to have it. Got it home and used it three times before shoving it in a cupboard.

    Waste of 50 quid :(

    Offer this piece of bailing twine and an empty shampoo bottle for your iPhone 6s.

    Nutri-Bullet yoke. The one single solitary reason I purchased it is 'cos it just HAD to be going at a great price when I stumbled across it on one of those Deals Pages. :rolleyes::rolleyes: I knew full well I'd never use it like. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Exercise bike (used a coat hanger)

    Wireless Dr Dre beat headphones ( kept slipping off my head and fell breaking the plastic on the headpiece, so I stopped using them and is in the spare wardrobe now ). Shiver when I think how much I payed for them

    Foot spa- seemed like a good idea at the time but used it twice since I bought it 2 years ago

    I'm getting a vr headset for my phone soon so I have a feeling that may attract dust when the novelty wears off lol

    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).

    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 :o
