Bought a brand new Omega Speedmaster in November 2011 and I've barely worn it since. Had MASSIVE buyers remorse over that I must admit!

I've been selling a lot of old games for PS2, Xbox and PC, I worked out that I'd spent around £2,000-3,000 on them originally yet I'll be lucky to make £200, some I'd only played a few times!

The regret of how much I've lost means I've not brought any since, the money I have made is being put aside for a brake upgrade on the car instead which I'll appreciate, plus I have loads of 360 games to start!

I'm also in the process of buying my first property, I regret that I could of achieved this several years earlier (currently 28 still living with parents) if I had not wasted my wages buying things that left me with little or nothing to show and very few memories. Just thankful I was sensible enough to put money aside each month for a deposit.

Still have the silly or compulsive buys but usually for much smaller amounts; a cinema ticket, fast food, going for a drive to buy ice cream!

Spent £350 on a new crash helmet last week. Told myself that my current 3 year old Arai with just 3000 miles done needed replacing. Wouldn't be so bad but I hardly use the motorbike these days.

Good thing is that it has forced me to use the bike more to justify the cost.

Spent £150 on an air rifle the week before but now have to go on a waiting list for a club as the garden is too small to use it. The club has plenty of guns there so that's more money wasted.
