Agreed, we need to end this idea that items have a shelf life of when they are the in thing to have, then just chuck them away when the next big thing comes around.

Saying that, we have old,perfectly useable furniture at home, and still use it, why get rid of a perfectly good table,

We still have pots, pans, dishes etc from years ago, still being used as they are still useable, you eat off a plate does it matter how OLD that plate is, surely it is the food that counts.

if friends want to 'judge' then question if they are actually friends,
