Five things that are worth the money

[upupandaway45]

There’s a fun trend going on on TikTok atm and I’ve been thinking about what my five would be.

My five.

Eating out/takeaways

Botox

Disneyland paris

My tv bed (so much money but worth every penny)

Tumble dryers

What would yours be?

1. Raised flower bed, my back loves it.
2. Micro bladed eyebrows, I look like a skull without them.
3. Motorbike, I love everything about it. That and my protective clothing is ££££!
4. Kindle, I haven’t been reading much lately, but I still love it.
5. Artwork, I’m not very arty, but the pieces I have are very special and beautiful.

My e-bike. The local bike shop found me a second hand Kolkhoff, it’s a fantastic brand I got for a bargain price and it means I’m back to cycling (I live at the top of a v challenging hill).

Alvalle gazpacho from the chiller cabinet, if you can find it. Not cheap but OMG it’s good.

Waitrose Essential Unsalted Butter.

Rose’s Lime Juice Cordial. Accept no substitutes.

Seatfrog last minute bidding for a train upgrade.

My five are:

My kindle. I would replace it in a heartbeat if it died as I use it daily.

National Trust and English Heritage memberships. I love just being able to drop into a historic site

Mounjaro. I have lost 9 stone, and been able to come off long term steroids as it has controlled several auto immune conditions. Our long term financial planning now includes me staying on it because it has genuinely given me my life back

Tumble dryer. Admittedly a bit neglected right now but wouldn't be without it in the winter

Supermarket delivery pass. I cannot imagine how I would work FT at my level and still do a weekly shop. So simple and yet so valuable.

Annual full body health check

A high spec TV & Soundbar

American style fridge freezer

Cordless vacuum cleaner

Good quality, thick mattress or mattress topper

On a more humdrum scale

a car that won’t let you down
good kitchen utensils, pots and pans
waterproof shoes and coat
efficient deodorant
a good book waiting to be read.

I started researching about full body health checks and got very bogged down and confused with so many different prices and packages. Who do you use?
