DS schooling - £250K and still counting….

BothersomeCrow · 18/03/2018 12:01

Current car (8k).
Largest impact at the time - borrowing £250 off this bloke I'd been seeing for a few months, for dental treatment so my teeth didn't all fall out of my gums. Luckily I'm still with said bloke 20 years on.

My car. X5 too expensive but I love it. After that probably technology, our bed and Duresta sofas in my front room.

puppymouse · 18/03/2018 12:03

Horse. Hundreds every month let alone the thousands he was to buy.

SleepFreeZone · 18/03/2018 12:04

Car. I paid 8k for it

Soubriquet · 18/03/2018 12:04

My dog

DwangelaForever · 18/03/2018 12:04

I've bought expensive things like sofa car etc but all on finance. The most expensive thing I've bought out of pocket in one go was my washing machine 🙊 or a laptop I bought with my student loan but I can't remember how much that was so I'll go with washing machine!

eurochick · 18/03/2018 12:06

Our nanny. We've spent about 90k so far.

PenCreed · 18/03/2018 12:06

House and wedding in the same year! Laptop probably the other thing which cost a lot (although the new boiler was way more, but that’s house expenditure so I think of it a bit differently). Most expensive item of clothing would be my wedding dress. All of them have been worth it though!

PhilODox · 18/03/2018 12:08

Education.
Car cost little... I've spent more on art Blush

so MN

VeryImportantcake · 18/03/2018 12:09
