Items that I need to buy in 2014

Would also love a new washing machine and an electric cooker that cooks at a proper speed (unlike the one I alteady own). However they are in the keep dreaming list :-)

thanks for the thread kayester-good idea-I was thinking of organizing a grocery box for Christmas as it is my turn to host the dinner this year + I will do a list of things that need replacing .

Hmm we need to get a desk for my husband, possibly a new double futon for the lounge and a single futon for the study!

Lounge/stairs/landing need decorating this year with new flooring. I am also determined to manage a holiday in Italy this year as OH mobility is getting worse so holidays may fizzle out soon. To pay for all this I need to be frugal with the day to day spending. My mantra is 'You can only spend it once'.

yeah im trying to be frugal too.
With the smaller items I am getting them with my weekly shop, this week (getting delivered with my Asda today) is the bread bin.
Other items I will be saving for (all my saving efforts are in my signature)

I could/should invest in some weatherproof boots for this sort of climate, plus some decent sandals that don't encourage blisters

I have to have wide fitting & no pointy bits so my toes have got wriggle room, not too much heel (I can twist an ankle on fresh air ) & a price I can afford.. no biggie then :rotfl: but I'll probably still be looking this time next year!

its not what we all want to buy i just start a nice thread, something we want to save money for/incentives and showing deals around. everyone will have a different idea in what they want to buy this year
No I am not starting from scratch, a lot needs replacing and a lot of the electric equipment I havnt got

You misquoted what I said. You're right it's not what we all want to buy, it's what we all have to buy, more or less.

I was simply pointing out the fact that, meaning we all in a similar position and I guess that's why we are here.

Sorry if I offended, it wasn't intended, and as I said, good luck.;);)

For me, I want to STOP myself buying kitchen stuff I don`t really need! (I mentioned carboots earlier - I have one large slowcooker bought new, plus 3 others from carboots - different sizes & depths, I do use them all sometimes, but I only have a small kitchen!)
Savings pot - that`s got to be for whatever conks out first!

There is not much on my list, as I managed to achieve so much last year in the house!

However if there is one thing I want it is this...

Next Cambridge Oak Coffee Table

Or this Corner TV Unit

http://www.next.co.uk/x533012s1#879302x53

I want the coffee table to put the TV on... It's expensive but the quality is fantastic. I already have the Bookcase with Drawers... although they no longer sell that! I inherited it shall we say 5 years back and I would love the coffee table, and perhaps small side table to match!


We shall see...

We're planning on selling our house this year and as it was purchased almost three years ago as a major project, most of what we need to buy involves building materials etc to finish off the work (most of which we are DIYing), so for example my list includes -

Seven timber DG windows for the front elevation
60 sq m solid oak flooring
Carpets for two floors (4 rooms plus landing/stairs)
Cladding for an ugly 1980s extension
Gravel for driveway
Four more cast iron rads
Tons of paint & timber etc etc

Fortunately we've done most of the expensive stuff - except the windows - and don't need anything furniture/furnishings-wise, although a new goose down duvet and high thread-count bed linen would be a nice treat after all our hard work :D
