A 3 night Airbnb stay for £300 in feb. Belated Xmas present for me/dp as we were both stuck in bed with Covid all Xmas.

Scrap that. Just had to spend 500 quid at the dentist. Am regretting the Airbnb stay now.Hmm

A car. But it was a trade up on a pcp contract, so not sure how you'd work out what we paid as such... but over the next 4 years it's a bloomin shed load.

A kitchen to be fitted in March.

Netting to stop pigeons roosting under my solar panels - £500

@MajorCarolDanvers Please don't use netting. Any bird, not just pigeons can get caught up in it, and it's a slow and horrible way to die.

Does a root canal count?

personally I bought a new heat pump tumble dryer for £500 odd and I’m hoping it’s going to save me loads over the coming year

Runningoncoffeealone · 19/01/2023 23:40

Not much as it's not been the best month so far, but if you give me a few days it'll be £125 to FINALLY pay off a credit card - and possibly a bottle of something nice to celebrate!

seething1234 · 19/01/2023 23:40

My kids race karts so a couple of 4k on a bigger kart (used), 700€ on parts and then new suit and boots and other bits 500€. Old kart will be sold to part pay for the new stuff.

We were supposed to be doing a no spend January - oh well....

whytesnow · 19/01/2023 23:41

May09Bump · 19/01/2023 23:41

Tires x 4, then another new tire the week after going over a stanley knife blade in the road - I was very pleased with that as you could expect. And some dentist work - fabulous.
