3. Good Knives
A blunt knife will zap the joy out of cooking but a decent one will save you time and make all that prep work a pleasure. You don’t have to break the bank, a decent kitchen knife costs as little as £13 from Ikea. Trust us, when you cut through those veggies like they’re butter, you’ll see what we mean.

5. Dental Care
This is a no brainer. Dental problems are always best nipped in the bud. Waiting could result in costly bills and a whole world of pain.

6. Experiences
Instead of splashing out on material things, why not consider treating yourself to a meal out with friends, or a mini break? Experiences can give you lasting memories, something to look forward to and they’re a great way to bond with friends and loved ones.

8. Get A Cleaner
