It Still Works, So……

Neroli only replace when it’s broken
However ever since my toaster gave up the ghost I use my air fryer to toast bread in doesn’t take much longer than a toaster

Whilst ever anything continues working well, why change it? I suppose it might be because someone fancies a change or the item no longer matches what you have, but really, unless something looks totally past it then keep it - I’m not sure new things necessarily have the same build quality.

All our small electrical appliances in recent years have lasted only a short time, so I would definitely hold on to an older one that still works.

I never replace anything before it stops functioning. Why would you?

I dont tend to either.

My electric oven looks bad now, but it soldiers on..

As the saying goes - if it's not broken why fix it. Also, I know of some people that have replaced their sofas more times than I've changed my knickers 😃 More bizarrely though a friend is on her 3rd wedding ring, 5th engagement ring and I've no idea how many eternity rings she's had. She buys them all herself. She's still married to her first and only DH but says she gets bored with the rings. Clearly fashion beats sentimentality with her.

Agreed. We own old item, hopefully they'll see us out.

No, I’m a great believer in hanging on!
I hate that we are a throw way society.

My toaster a Dualit is over 30 years old.
I think it was £100 but worth it!

My Aigle wellies again were about £100 but lasted me 20 years, I could have got more out of them but they started to rub.

Buy good buy once.

Absolutely keep on using it! If you don't it will just go to landfill.
You don't need anything sophisticated to simply burn bread ....

Nothing we put in the black bin goes to landfill, so our council tells us.

All burnt, and used to make electricity, I believe.
