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?

Smirnoff ice
decent crisps
City breaks
cat
decent books (not kindle)
shark chill pill

Travel / holidays / weekends away, I spend a lot on them but it's why I work!

My CrossFit membership - makes me feel great and it's my me time

My PT sessions - as above

Quality protein powder

My bean to cup coffee Machine

Agree with pp re portable air con

Aircraft Powerglide mop

Tesla

Perfume

Shark Flexbreeze portable and rechargeable fan (the one that blows mist out!)

Children, massages, good food, a lovely house and garden, a cleaner

Nice bread from a proper bakery
My new car
My poodle
Dishwasher
Ocado

Warburtons crumpets for a start

Tomatoes
Toilet roll
Walking shoes
Bin liners
And Ocado once subbed my bog standard brown rice for Himalayan organic brown rice, which ruined me forever for the cheap stuff.

Aircon

Regular hair appointments

My cleaner

Really good quality bedding - linens/ mattress/ pillows etc

Heating when it’s cold. I cannot stand to be cold and would economise on something else before I had a cold house

Longley farm cottage cheese

crisp cool cotton bedding and nighties and someone to iron them!

Personal trainer and gym membership

Good quality hiking gear and clothes

holiday accommodation that is as comfortable, or more comfortable than home.

Sorry to derail the thread, but there's no evidence that generic annual health screens are helpful, and they may do more harm than good. See the Cochrane Review on this subject:

https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD009009_general-health-checks-reducing-illness-and-mortality

If you're worried about your health, I'd recommend actually seeing a doctor face-to-face to discuss your concerns so you can have tailored testing as appropriate. If you're struggling to see your NHS GP, a private GP may be able to help. I'm a doctor and I don't have annual health screening myself, and I don't offer it or recommend it to my patients.
