Does anyone buy something that they neither need or want to use, but just want it beacuse you like the way it feels or appreciate it's construction or other reasons?
Just last week I bought a straight shackle padlock. One of those brass ones. Not because I had a use for it, but just because I was fascinated by the engineering and the solid weightiness of it in my hand. |

"I once bought DreamyBoo a bowl of fine cut chips. I was overwhelmed by her underappreciations."
Can you unpack that sentence?
DreamyBoo and fine cut chips?

"Seeing the amount of stuff we donated to charity or skipped before moving house, yes, we bought stuff we didn't need  "
I don't know if you're like me but I'll sometimes buy something, usually off eBay, that has no purpose other than looking interesting.
The last thing I bought was something called a thumbstone. A smooth, oval piece of fluorite.
I just carried it around with me and rubbed it in my hand. |

I don't buy for no reason, but it's evident we'd accumulated loads that we didn't need to keep. |

Imagine if you kept everything you ever bought over your entire lifetime.

I do this, I buy things I don't need just because I like the look of it or how it feels x |

"I am a vinyl LP junkie and got so many vinyls now ... I don't even listen to most of them ... madness "
I've just got rid of some vinyl, all 7 inch with exception of a 5 incher, and limited editions/picture discs.
i went through a very short spell of collecting but it eventually fizzled out. |
