What is worth every penny?

[00100001]

For me it is a few things:

A decent kids bike. One made with kid's geometry in mind, not just a mini adults bike.

Marmite. No other yeast extract compares!

My cat was. I bought her for £20. Best £20 I ever spent. Worth every penny.

Diet coke

Roomba, press, leave, come back to clean floors

Good bread.

Decent bedding 100% cotton

My tumble dryer, Shark vac, and properly working fridge freezer.

James Wellbeloved cat food - contains lucca extract, which definitely makes my cat's litter tray smell less evil

Beautiful bags, beautiful shoes, beautiful jewellery. Plus beautiful anything to do with style, fashion and beauty. I’m a bit of a magpie, I guess.

My iPad. Best piece of tech I ever bought. Especially now that I’ve got the Kindle app.

Funnily enough I really like Sainsbury’s own brand yeast extract - we buy that because we’re boycotting Unilever, so we can’t buy marmite. But as it turns out, we both prefer it to the ‘real thing’.

Oh yes, definitely the tumble dryer!

Dyson handheld vacuum cleaner. I love that thing.

Our duvet mattress topper. So amazingly comfy! Plus very good quality bedding.

Books.

Every iphone I've had.

The Vero Kern perfume I'll be eking out for as many winters as possible now there will be no more of it.

Good quality shoes.
Comfy bed.
Decent lawn mower.
Dishwasher.

Oh yes definitely the dishwasher!!

Mint choc chip ice cream

oh...i presse dpost too soon and didn't come back...i have more!

Good shoes!

A tempur mattress - saved our backs and we sleep so much better.

a cleaner! She only does the bathroom and toilet downstairs, but it's heaven!

Decent pillows. We recently upgraded to memory foam pillows and I've never slept better.

A decent chip shop. Our local is wonderful and definitely worth every penny, especially at the moment.

My kindle unlimited subscription. I read 5-10 books a week. I just want escapism, not complicated literature. Some of the stuff on there is rubbish, but some has been brilliant.

A good haircut.

At the moment the best money I ever spent was £60 on a plum trampoline from Aldi.
Hours and hours every day, it’s saving DS sanity.
Wine. Saving my sanity.

Prep school fees
The cat
The cleaner
DS's sport

And at this specific moment in time, DS's laptop so we don't have to share with him.

I guess priorities shift but right now I would say...Good bedding. My iPad. Our Ooni pizza oven. Our Leisure Camper. Our Lay z spa. When this is all over we will have a night at Barnsley House in the Cotswolds and that will definitely be worth every penny.

Oh and Lurpak

Tweezerman tweezers.

@reefedsail can you say a bit more about the prep school fees?! How are they worth it for your family?

My dogs. Privately educated child might be cheaper but they are so lovely.

iPads. No other tablet comes close, and at £349 the basic model is a bargain.

A good bed. When you consider the amount of your life you spend in it, the price is irrelevant.

My dog think she cost £350 and I've had love from her every day she's helped me through some very dark days.

my online dating profile without that I'd have never met DH.

And more day to day my bed the most expensive thing I've ever brought but I love it every day.

Our dogs; one is a pedigree irish wolfhound who cost us a lot of money, but he is our hairy baby , he has a lovely nature, our other two are rescue mongrels who are very loving and sweet.
