What is expensive but worth every penny?

[Teadrinker11]

Following on from the previous thread about expensive purchases that weren't worth it, what is expensive but actually is worth it? What do you own or have done that is very expensive but you don't regret it at all?

Yes you detailed it
Time to get back on track

Yes to 5 star hotels! Even the drop to 4 star is striking

I did what?

@Toanewstart23, it’s more likely to get back on track if you withdraw your accusation of lying, because that kind of behaviour is a pretty significant derailment.

I have no idea what’s going on now!

I think you got caught in the crossfire, @benjispruce5! It was me @Toanewstart was accusing of derailing the thread.

@Benjispruce5

I did what?

Absolutely nothing A few of us said private education and @notwavingbutdrowning5 pounced

But she’s apologised to the OP
So we can move on!

Ah ok. I’ll stand down.

'Pounced', says the poster who rooted around trying to find out where my kids go to university, made insinuations about my supposed 'lifestyle' and then accused me of lying.

I would hardly say it was me who pounced

Omg! Enough!

Have to say I agree @notwavingbutdrowning5.

Hey folks, can we have a bit of peace and love please?

Blimey. OP, this started as a fun thread which is now nearly full. If you decide to continue it/start another, maybe add a note that expressing an opinion about what you have found worthwhile spending money on is not an open invitation to others to come on and shout, "your choice is just WRONG and makes you a BAD person,'??

Something I have not yet purchased, but am hoping it will prove worthwhile, is treatment to remove varicose veins and thread veins. I think it will cost about £2500. It's not available on the NHS (so I'm jumping no queues!) and it's absolutely about vanity - I'm hoping my legs will look better in summer dresses. Has anyone any experience of this?

Sooo amazingly worth it

@CaveMum - glad to be of help! You got a great bargain for £60 - I thought I'd done well £100 instead of £150 at the time. It's seen me through so much....endless hours of winter train commuting, freezing platforms / lovely breezy winter beach and hilly walks. It's like a wearable comfort blanket.
I hope you're really happy with yours when it arrives.
(PS dinner tonight was soup, not toasted moggy!!).

Heated steering wheel.

Cashmere bed socks from White Company. So soft and stay on but easy to kick off when my feet get too hot.

No, but a friend of mine had it done and was very pleased with the result.

Totally take your point about summer dresses. Every year as I age, I have to cover up a bit more. In a few year's time, I expect to be wrapped up like a mummy in summer.

*years

Aaargh. *Years' time

Eyelid surgery was flipping brilliant, I don't look tired all the time any more.

I did it 15 years ago on my legs on a groupon deal!

Unbelievable. Still completely gone. Recommend

@KatherinaRosalie that sounds amazing.. I don't know if I'd have the money or the courage, tbh, how much is it? My eyes are like little raisins now..
