Rec'd settlement money for an RTA and think some of it should purely be for me to use to compensate me for the pain i'm still in 2 years later.
The amount is not huge but a nice sum of £16k after solicitors costs. I have no loss of earning but i do have costs of travel to repay to family pot as appointments were 20 miles away and difficult to travel for quite some time due to the injury.
10k house renovation project for the family
2.5k for replacing personal property and for small rehab items like floor mats, weights etc and some future private physio
1k for appointment costs already spent
1k for future travel
Would it be unreasonable to fritter away 1.5k? We dont have a huge income but aren't on a budget or tight for money and we have a year income in savings already.
But ... i am already a huge shopping addict. Trainers, sunglasses, knitwear, longchamp bags. Not Van cleef or chanel level of spending but i fritter about 300 away on those things every month and can't stop myself. It causes a little bit of friction between me and my husband tbh.
Wwyd?
