My lovely great big bed...Grin

A motorised swing for baby DS. He has spent many an hour in that thing and it has saved my sanity.

A laptop - means I can MN all night Grin

A coffee machine (which actually was a present) - I use it every day and really look forward to my latte which is made all the nicer for the fact that it costs me about 10p to make!

Carrotsandcelery · 26/05/2011 21:43

I agree with Valhalla, the £90 to rescue our dog. Best money I ever spent Grin

onebigchocolatemess · 26/05/2011 21:44

new fences and trellis-work all around the garden, looks sooooo much better now. Boring way to spend A LOT of money IMO but everyday I look I am pleased

Just waiting for the neighbour blocking trees to grow now Grin

The hot tub! We have one built into the bathroom which is boring, so we bought a large hard inflatable one for outside, has a pump and heater and is rather lovely in the summer.

Car.

Laptop.

Am considering a Tassimo machine now that the morning sickness has staved off long enough to warrant coffee.

Our trip to Kefalonia when DH and I were about 22. Best time of my life.

The 79 cents I spent on a Tune-In Radio app for my I-Pod Touch, turning it into a digital radio at home. I use it sooo much, combined with a . We don't live in the UK so it means I can listen to Radio 4 around the house live - a huge improvement in my quality of life.

missismonky · 26/05/2011 21:57

iPad too. Actually a gift from DH. Even the cats use the iPad around here.
Hippychick hip seat thing when DS2 was little.
A decent goosedown jacket.

MotherMountainGoat · 26/05/2011 21:57

Oops, combined with an I-Pod docking station, that should have been.

GrimmaTheNome · 26/05/2011 21:59
