To ask if what things you've resented spending money on recently?

[Sixteenbars]

This is just today
1.) 8.99 on worming tablets for dd
2.) £20 on birthday presents for twins in dd's class
3.) new slippers for ds as he lost the ones we bought a month ago
4.) Overpriced vegan stuff, it is getting cheaper but it's taking a while. Why is vegan mayo never on offer, or why can't you get tofu for the same price as shit ham? I'm not vegan but going that way and I can't believe how much extra everything is
5.) petrol, just because it isn't very exciting. I only top up once a month but it reminds me of how much I used to save before we had a car.

Just spent £40 on another pair on new schools for my son. Honestly they will be absolutely battered next week too.

Bed sheets because the baby did an explosive poo all over my bed - which now has a gorgeous yellow stain despite being bleached and vanished.

Getting my car fully valeted - Car is filthy and it’s my fault for letting the kids eat in the back so I can have some peace and quiet!

30 pound on a app that I thought was free !!!

£4 for a book in the supermarket as a 'treat' then got home and realised I'd already read it (on kindle) and thought it was shit. It's just sat on the side, mocking me. No more undercutting treats for me.

I haven't actually spent this yet but will need to do so. Around six weeks ago I paid for the boilers annual service, fair enough.

A few days ago the kitchen radiator begins to leak. I've put an old butter dish beneath to capture the drips. I will have to pay out another £60-odd for the plumber to come out again to see to it. I'm unable to tighten it myself. Why couldn't the damn thing have leaked before the inspection, not afterwards?

I resented spending £20 on cat repellers to stop other people’s cats shitting on my driveway.
The fact that other people have chosen to have a cat, and can’t control where said cat shit, appears to be my problem.

£250 for my accountant to submit an extremely basic tax return

£82 for a small filling for my dc, no NHS dentists in my area. The dentist is taking the piss

The money I've spent about £50 on packing containers, boxes and bags for my move, necessary, but also boring and single use.

@DimplesToadfoot - blimey. I’d be taking the rabbit back or having it put down.

I'm getting annoyed on everyone's behalf just reading this

Here - new football boots for DS who grew out of his in less than a month (and he has to have the proper ones). Also, the heel broke on one of his school shoes three days before the end of term and school 'd at me as I refused to buy new ones until the end of half term break- apparently if he wears black trainers for two days his head will fall off and he won't pass any GCSEs, or something.

I also bought a jar of nice black cherry jam which I don't often buy and dropped it on the hard kitchen floor.

Formula, boils my piss how expensive it is. Every time I buy it I feel like it’s silently mocking my useless boobs and crapped out thyroid.

@DimplesToadfoot - put the rabbit in a pie! Much cheaper. only joking

The rabbit definitely would be getting returned to the charity, they must have known, and palmed you off

£65k on stamp duty. Furious.

Since mid-December:

£366 on boiler service/repair
£549 for new oven (old one broke 2 days before Christmas
£68 for fitting said oven
£70 for clearing blocked gutters
£25 for mastic sealant for roof of bay window which let in water when blocked gutter overflowed
£25 approx for rat traps and poison
£5-ish for new dishwasher hose that had been chewed through by a rat (kitchen 2" deep in water!)
£135 for new car battery and fitting

And we've just had a bill for £1,686 because Shell Energy have ignored all the readings we've submitted for 2 years and appear not have had any of our DD payments!

We're wondering what will go wrong next.

£6.95 on a coffee and came at the John Lewis cafe; I was queing up to pay before I noticed my free coffee and came voucher had expired.

@gullibell. Do you get an orgasm with your coffee?

£30 on costumes for DDs school play. Which I’ll have to also buy tickets for. There seems to be a request for money from school every bloody week!

£120 -the yearly payment to the NMC I have to pay to stay registered as a nurse.Because it's SUCH a good wage.Makes me furious.

£40 for plumber to unblock bathroom sink. Bar soap and running the tap less when tooth brushing means sinks clog up more.
So much for being more eco.

£650 to achieve a new pipe under the house that we can't see and a mess on the driveway.

Anything to do with our car. It’s treated, rightly, as a household expense so any costs come out of the joint account. But, I work in central London, so train it in, and by choice cycle or walk most other places. I do most of my shopping online, and I hate driving.

But DP needs it for work, as he works shifts starting and finishing at times where there’s no public transport. We also use it once a month to drive down to visit relatives who aren’t that easy to get to by train.

It’s a necessary evil, and I hate spending money on it!

Informed the police and what a surprise no insurance on hers. Police are only charging her for having no insurance.

Can you not go through the Small Claims Court for the cost, if the police are involved, she can hardly deny it.

£86 for an extra night's stay in a London hotel due to the closure of both King's Cross and Euston the day I planned to travel. Extra cattery fees as a related expense.

Only a small amount but I bought my two cats some high end gourmet cat food as a treat for Christmas day and neither of them would eat it.

£10 for food that a family member cheekily put in my trolley and expected us to pay for

Why did you pay for it though? Put yours on the belt then the divider and say There you are, that's your shopping.
