Non essential food. Household items that need to be replaced. Clothing that needs to be replaced.

Not sure we have any either. The kids seem to use up any that might be going spare.

Nothing unusual I don't think, same as everyone else.

User18695438 · 04/03/2023 07:35

Clothes, CDs for the car, streaming music is ok in the house but I prefer CDs in the car, lots of things

Rare tarot decks (I'm a collector)
Bloody subscriptions to apps
Might do an order from Cook if feeling especially flush

I have zero savings though

Cute matching outfits for my 2 under 2 haha!

DS in going on the school ski trip, so recently, gloves, base layers etc.

Last weekend, a new pruning saw and veggie seeds - tomatoes, peppers, french beans, radishes, spring onions....

When ds is away with the school at Easter, I'm having my brows done. I'm 10 months post-chemo, my brows have finally grown back properly and I'm going to have them shaped 😊

Thisislifefornow · 04/03/2023 07:54

Nails, my children, school trips. It always gets spent.

Meandfour · 04/03/2023 07:56

Holidays, days out, regular beauty treatments, more clothes & shoes, eating out, spontaneous city trips, stuff for the house, books, toys / treats for DC.
Anything after our set savings amount is used for the above. Whatever is left goes into another savings account.

cptartapp · 04/03/2023 07:59

Holidays, and into the ISA or premium bonds for saving. Am retiring in 4 years at 55 and will start spending it then.

InterstellarDrifter · 04/03/2023 08:05

Days out, going out with friends, things for the kids, holidays, just on making life more interesting and fun.
