    What is something you bought and don't regret

    I mean some physical that you still have rather than an experience or a meal or something

    Stainless steel frying pan from IKEA. Way better than any non-stick *****. Still looks like new after about 3 years.

    I was offended in an amused way when my stepdaughter bought me a nose hair clipper. As in a 'how old do you think I am' kind of way.

    Best thing she ever got me. I am on my third one. Never go away without it.

    Definitely some of the camping gadgets I have.

    Portable fire pit - £15.99 - perfect for wild camping / campsites.
    Rechargeable mattress blow up fan - £9.99 - Also works great as a fire breather.

    Bought a shirt in 1995 for £45 , wore it to death when I first bought it , don't wear it now but I still have it . Refuse to throw it away . Went to watch oasis at earls court and liam Gallagher was wearing this particular shirt . Was living in London at the time and found it in a shop called jigsaw in Covent garden

    Aeropress. Under £30 delivered. Great bit of kit and a lot more portable than the espresso machine.

    Heated drying rack.

    Considering its been freezing cold for the last 10 weeks, it's been a godsend.
