A shopping mistake? Um … well my boyfriend wanted to go camping, so I bought him a tent. It was a good tent. I paid seventy pounds for it. Anyway, he put it up in the garden – once, I think. Imagine that, just one time! He never used it again. It was a waste of money. The truth is he really likes hotels!

I don’t really know … Oh yeah, last year my wife bought me an exercise bike. I thought it was a good idea, too, but you know, I think I used it three times. It was hard work! A real waste of money!

Shopping mistakes? Oh, that’s easy. Clothes. I often buy clothes and then when I get them home I don’t like them. For example, last month I went shopping with a friend and I bought a hat. It cost a hundred euros. My friend said it looked beautiful. My boyfriend said it was terrible … so I sold it … on the internet. I got fifty euros for it. It was a real waste of money.

A shopping mistake? Oh yes, all the time. For example, I got my sister’s little boy some drums, for his birthday. I thought it was a good idea. He loves those drums. He plays them all day. So he’s happy … but my sister isn’t happy. Now she doesn’t talk to me! I phoned her yesterday, but she didn’t answer.

A shopping mistake. Erm … oh yeah, my mother gave us a lamp. We didn’t like it, but I know it cost her a lot of money. Then after a week I broke it. I tried to fix it but it was impossible. Whoops!
