adjective - costing a lot of money
This has been an expensive week and with each passing day we have got to hear the ching ching of the proverbial cash till and there is still more to spend out on.
- We have had an intermittent electric fault so needed to call out the electrician ... although in fairness this was cheaper than having to buy a new washing machine which was what we thought was at fault - ching ching!
- Poppy, our lovely Black Labrador, had to have an operation to have 2 lumps removed and the lumps analysed - ching ching!
- The lid fell off the medicine Henry the cat has to have and we lost a good chunk of the 28€ liquid that was inside it - ching ching!
- We have had to pay for the boys' after school activities - athletics, music theory, saxophone and rugby - ching ching!
- There have been more school supplies to buy - ching ching!
- Ben needs new rugby boots and Tom needs new running shoes - ching ching!
- Both our gas bottle and the one in the gite ran out - ching ching!
- The mower is playing up and will need to go to the mower repairman - ching ching!
Yes - this week has been expensive!
-ching ching!
It's always the way isn't it. Hopefully you might get a short break before the 'whispers' Christmas frenzy begins :-)
ReplyDeleteShhhhh !!!
DeleteIt's never ending at times!
ReplyDeleteCertainly feels like it!
DeleteOh dear, I hope next week does not cost you as much money as this week! #WotW
ReplyDeleteMe too, Mel!
DeleteIt always feel like everything comes at once doesn't it! Hope you have a lovely weekend x #WotW
ReplyDeleteI did thank you - the boys and Simon when camping (cheap weekend break) and I stayed home and spent not one cent!!
DeleteOh dear. I hate times like this, and it does always seem to come in batches, too. Here's to a cheaper week for you next week! Thanks for sharing with #WotW
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the same, Jocelyn!
DeleteGosh you have had an expensive week. It always seems to be the way though, one thing after another! X #WotW
ReplyDeleteIt does doesn't it - like buses!!
DeleteOh golly, I hope that is the last of the spending you have to do for a bit. This time of year is always expensive in our household too!
ReplyDeleteNot just us then - hope your spending decreases out next week.
DeleteI know how you feel! We've had a new boiler fitted this week and kids start of term 'activity' invoices all coming through.
ReplyDeleteOuch - hope the boiler fixture wasn't too expensive.
DeleteOh my! Very expensive.....It's always one thing after another! Hope that's the last of the spending done for a while x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim.
DeleteHopefully next week you will have an unexpected windfall, or at the very least a resite from all this expense x #wotw
ReplyDeleteThank you, Louisa. A Premium Bond wind would be good right now!
DeleteThis sounds like my week too! Trying to do some DIY! Whenever DIY is mentioned it should be followed by 'ching ching'. #WotW
ReplyDeleteToo true - DIY never seems quite as cheap as you think!
DeleteAargh! That is frustrating when it all happens at once. Hopefully though that'll be it and you won't have any more bills for a while!! #wotw
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
Delete*sigh* same in our household. My son starting school is expensive. True that school is free but the uniforms and school supplies needed are just too much for our savings. Plus the after school too like yours. I just hope that the products that I bought would last long and wont needed replacement. #wotw
ReplyDeleteI hope so too Merlinda!
DeleteOh no! Let's hope next week is cheaper! I hope also that your dog is o.k x #WOTW
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you Aby. Still waiting on the test results.
DeleteThat does sound expensive! Why is it that costs tend to come all at the same time. Hope Poppy and Henry recover.
ReplyDeleteThank you - Henry will be on the medicine for life but with lucky Poppy will make a full recovery.
