You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

A pair of Balenciaga boots. They were extortionate, but that has to be at least 10 years ago and I still wear them.

A very expensive dehydrator (it cost £30). I’ve made raisins, banana chips and apple chips with it so far. It’s so addictive, I’ll probably start drying my kids soon.
