We've all made them at one time in our lives and some are regretted.

What is the worst thing you've ever picked up on a whim?

For me, it was a treadmill. State of the art one that had all the bells and whistles. Installed it and used it about 3 times.

My impulse purchases are shoes, but it's more of OCD than a whim, I haven't regretted a single pair grin

I've never bought anything that I couldn't return so impulse buying doesn't bother me

In fact, now that I'm retired, shopping and returning things is a way to spend my time and get me out of the house

I impulsively purchased a couple of evening dresses for my daughter in Ireland. She decided because I chose them, she would not wear them... and I am a little too far away to return them. grin

I was about to say non-specific urethritis, but then I remembered buying a Sega Saturn games console which turned out to be a complete flop(thank you very much Sony Playstation). I hope Sega realise just how many newspapers I had to deliver to pay for that although I bet they wouldn't even lose an hours sleep. Selfish.

A pair of black suede boots. Cost me a fortune and the heel is so high that I have to walk leaning backwards so I don't fall on my face. Impossible.. but can I get rid of them? Not a chance! doh laugh

laugh Hello gorgeous wave It was great to wake up, start the engine and have a day on the river.

Hello trouble wave

The Queen? that really is name dropping!!

I went on a holiday on a boat on the Thames with a load of friends once, needless to say there was plenty of alcohol involved - well what do they expect with pubs every 100 yards! we managed to pick up a shopping trolley on the prop and run aground all within the first two days, one of our party decided to mop the windows at 2am by dunking the mop over the side, visibility was bad the following day, I'm sure it was foggy! I think I'm banned from the Thames now.
