at an auction in London. I can’t get one thing in my mind how people spend so much on such paintings that don’t have any sense.     Designer Baby Clothes  Brand new clothes for a new born baby is nothing but just waste of money because the baby will poop and pee and burp up milk, and somehow get anything gross and smelly of those expensive cute outfits.   Banners and hoardings Banners and hoardings for almost anything like "25th Wedding Anniversary", "Happy Birthday", "Happy Diwali" are not only waste of money but are annoying too!
