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. Tumble dryer
2. Flora and Curl hair products (I have super curly hair and this is the only stuff that really works for me)
3. AKT deodorant
4. Decent theatre tickets
5. My children

My audible
my dog
five star holiday with bestie
mounjaro
expensive gym membership

1- proper salted butter. With big crunchy crystals - French or Cornish is best

2- my bed, special pillows and bedding

3- good strong, cheddar cheese. I grew up really poor and promised myself I would never buy mild cheddar as an adult

4- theatre / musicals / concerts - I love giving my children opportunities and live experiences

5- holidays. I absolutely love going on holiday.

My iPad. I would be lost without it. Would be the one thing I would replace immediately.

The Wood burner in the winter, aircon in the summer. Ok, that’s technically two.

Gym membership.

Access to no1 lounges. I hate Gatwick. Lounge access makes it bearable.

Bi-monthly massages. Sorts my back out ( along with the gym sessions).

A decent coffee machine and coffee
A lovely home with decent tv etc
My hot tub
A reliable car you enjoy driving (for its look, feel or whatever is important to you)
Shoes or trainers with the right heel to toe drop for my ankle issues! I couldn’t walk or run comfortably without them!

Pets
Road bike
Brompton
Travel
Amazing petsitter who looks after them whilst travelling.

Convertible Cars
Good food
Breast reduction
Fast passes at amusement parks
Fresh flowers

aircon - best money we ever spent
dog - my number 2 boy (secretly number 1 😂)
hybrid Yaris - love automatic never going back
private transfer on holiday
apple phone/watch/ipad

Good mattress, pureology shampoo, nice perfume that lasts ages, extra leg room/ premium flights, good artisan bread

Cleaner
Good food - at home & out
Travel - not necessarily expensive but often
Getting legs and pits lasered
Coffee machine

I love this thread idea! Not necessarily in any particular order, but for me:

• My nail lamp and gel polishes so I can pamper myself at home
• A good epilator
• Car that is fully reliable and covered
• Sky TV package (albeit only £24 a month currently, wouldn't be worth it at the old rate we left for)
• Our dog (when we had him). Worth every vet bill and replacement furniture bill a hundred times over.

Botox
Disney holidays (staying onsite particularly)
Colour catchers
health insurance (for the kids too)
therapy

• Westman Atelier contour stick
• Saie cream blush
• Joolz Aer2 stroller
• Full body mole check annually
• SOS Serum SPF 50 or Beauty of Joseon SPF 50

paying for a professional pack and move - it's so worth it, they pack it all in a tenth of the time!

My hair and facial every 6 weeks.

Having 2 Henry vacuum cleaners, for upstairs and downstairs

Good quality bed linen (I look out for vintage stuff where possible)

German sports cars
Quooker tap
Electric blinds
Swiss chocolate

Phillips Lumea - the hair free transformation has been fantastic.

Gym Membership - That post workout feeling once is unbeatable. Exercise, steam, shower and pamper every morning gives me a huge pep for my day.

Espresso machine - I need a proper coffee every morning. Grinding fresh beans and tamping down the coffee is a lovely morning ritual and better than takeaway.

Airfryer- I use this for every meal, amazing invention.

Revlon one step (round brush). Gives me a professional blow dry.

I read this as decent children and laughed!!

My Rigby and Peller sports bra.
