Expensive, but worth it, purchases?

Our Tempur memory foam mattress - about £1000 twelve years ago and still going strong. Plus memory foam pillows.

My kenwood (well DH bought that) and the work we've done on the house especially the garden.

I love my tan Bridge handbag. It was expensive but I have used it continuously for the last eight years

Would love a robotic vacuum cleaner anybody got one ? I have a Miele but finding it a bit heavy due to arthritis .Lookinng at silver earrings as a lot of earrings now are lovely colours but are gold plated .Love my Ugg boots and Clarins face and Eco creams

My huge bird in my garden - its a crane and must be over 6ft. Hand made in Africa. I saw a similar one in a shop a couple of years ago which was already sold, and obsessed about it for ages! Last summer a friend messaged me from a Craft Fair with a picture - just what I wanted...went to the Fair next day but they had sold out, so I had to order one and wait ages for delivery - but it was worth it - it now stands proudly in the garden and I can see it from my computer and from my bedroom when I open the curtains in the morning. Pure indulgence! Couldn't care less about household gadgets, as long as they do their job.

Dental implants! Expensive but worth it. Wish I could afford more.

Hello Mistyfluff8 I have a Dyson 360 eye and it's the best gadget I've ever had! I just press the button and leave it to do its magic and I can get on with other things! I can track how it's getting on with an app on my mobile phone when I'm in another room. When it's finished I just go back into the room and hey presto the carpet is spotless! It's a wonderful intention! I would throughly recommend it but it's very expensive. My family clubbed together and gave me it for my birthday. I've got medical issues and it helps me enormously . Thank you Dyson!

About 20 years ago I bought a beautiful steel grey MaxMara winter coat - it cost a fortune and I loved it! I wore it for at least seven years, then it languished in the wardrobe for a while, now my DIL has it, so well worth the money.

Last year I bought Sweaty Betty outdoor wear - leggings, tops & hoodie in bright gaudy colours. They are worn at least 5 days a week for my river/city walks. I'm just about to squash my ample mounds into them and do a two-hour walk in the beautiful London sunshine

I would really love a Bernina and currently thinking I might treat myself

I have very narrow feet and for years wore cheap shoes that became boats on my feet within days of wearing them. I now know that is false economy and I treat myself to proper fitting shoes twice a year from James Inglis in Peebles or Medissa shoes in Leeds who both specialise in narrow footwear.

River Totally agree re Sweaty Betty. I have some lovely tennis things from them and I decided a few weeks ago that I had to have a pair of zero gravity bum-sculpting leggings
Looked online & they didn't have my size, so I emailed & asked them to email me when in stock. They replied that they would do a search for me and two days later Lauren from the Leeds store rang me and said she had a pair in the shop. Purchase completed over the phoine and the next day they arrived. They are fab and I've never had such good customer service.

I love my Hoover Freedom...bought when half price from Argos

This is my second post because I had forgotten my Bernina sewing machine. I got it for my birthday 20 years ago and its still going strong. I love the way it sews a straight seam and is so quiet.

I love my BernIna too, want it bringing downstairs and it is too heavy for me or Mr M to carry, so son is going to bring it downstairs, I do love him but hope he doesn't drop it and put that love to the test.

My Dyson pedestal fan an arrived yesterday, it is lovely and quiet. After I had ordered it, and it was in transit from Dyson, a Groupon advert popped up on my computer screen selling them at £50 off! DD uses them all the time, I should have thought to check their price. Everyone else's were the same as manufacturer and I couldn't access the link somebody gave for 10% off.

I have the Dyson hairdryer and I agree with Hummingbird. It is light (ish) and very easy to handle, but that's about it. Ridiculous price for dry hair. I was very disappointed to find it didn't a) dry my hair any faster b)dry it smooth
I still have to use my Babyliss hot air brush. Now THAT IS a good tool. I am on my second one, and if this one breaks I will keep on buying them until they stop making them!
