What are you saving up for?

[PersonaNonGarter]

I’m saving for a hostess trolley (really). Strangely enough, it never reaches the top of the ‘To Buy’ list. But I’m going to make an effort and save for it.

What are you saving for?

We’re saving for a summer holiday and Lapland in December too, Mondeofan

A new kitchen. However we’re having DC2 in 3 weeks so I’m sure it will take a backseat for a while!

New guttering and getting the outside of the house painted.

House deposit and holidays, always need something to look forward to

(I guess with the guttering I am literally saving for a rainy day. )

New sofa bed for the playroom so we will finally have enough beds to host everyone for Christmas and not go to ILs any more.

A new bathroom but no quotes yet so have no idea how close I am! Any idea how much it costs to redo a tiny bathroom? (1.7mx1.7m)

Our wedding - July
Starting our new business - May launch
House deposit - god knows

The extension we will be having, also I'm saving for my retirement as I don't fancy working till my death. I also save £20 each month for Christmas.

A house!
And now three weddings and three friend / families all happening between June and the end of August!

Friend and family babies!

A new shower room.

Kitchen

House move - moving, flooring, painting, some new furniture etc

To move house, saving money for carpets, decorating, furniture, appliances & removal expenses.

New living room and dining room flooring.

To get my new wallpaper put up.
Enough for a nice graduation (DD1s) dinner in June for me, DH and the 2 DDs

Christmas
DD1’s driving lessons
London this summer for 5 of us
Weekend away next spring when my friend is 50

@HalfBloodPrincess I bought one from eBay a few years ago - it was only about £70 and it's AMAZING!

Tenerife holiday in October. I booked it last year before H moved out so I am determined to take the children away.

Longer term savings for a new kitchen but that way in the future as we are barely keeping our heads above water.

I have a spare change tin that I am saving for a new garmin in as a treat to myself. Again, it will be a while!

@MaMaMaMySharona I’m so jealous! I will get one one day. I don’t even drink, mind, I’ll have to store my Robinson’s in it 🤣

My mum said that I was a weird child - my sister aspired to live in a castle and have ponies whereas I wanted to live in a council flat with my drinks globe 🤣

A new bathroom as the current one is absolutely and embarrassingly dire 😱.

I'm saving to take myself to Dignitas in Switzerland if/when I start losing my marbles. I hope I have a few years to go, it's bloody expensive to legally kill yourself.

Some new clothes once I've lost a bit more weight.

Japan holiday
