to be absolutely aghast that a wooden sandpit costs £400 and to then be not surprised that we are all in so much debt

[FYIAD]

I mean fgs

we saw this at the weekend and thought it would be lovely for dd3 until we saw the price

Also don't like the roof

Enid, why upgrade unless you are planning loads more kids? My youngest is just 4 and I've started to get rid of stuff as soon as they show any signs of not playing with it - (plastic) sandpit went last month!
