    Definitely - a dishwasher is a necessity in this house - frees up so much time for other things!

    I am with you! 

    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    Have finally finished selling out one of one of the funds in my ISA that I'm not that keen on any more. Now just two remaining: 

    The one with 90% of the money in is up 9%
    The one with 10% of the money in is down 11% 

    At least they're the correct way round 🤣!
