Our house is 60 years old with original windows. It's drafty and cold in the winter. Wish windows didn't cost so much. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379759 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 23:22:40 +0000 Keybee 2379759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Computer or laptop, our last working machine broke last week. We get by with just our phones. We can't decide what we want to buy and it's expensive, so it could be awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379738 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 22:32:23 +0000 lilyofthewest 2379738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Roof. We have the money, but, we keep putting it off because it is so close to all the money. If we get more leaks again over the winter it'll end up costing us even more though. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379729 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 22:12:56 +0000 Ms. RV 2379729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need new work pants because I'm pretty sure I'm not going to lose my post partum weight in my thighs.

You would think it world be one of the first things I would take care of, but nope, we moved into our house 4 months ago and still no curtains in our room!</p> <p>We also need dining room chairs. Especially now that LO refuses his high chair, we don't have enough chairs for the 3 of us even. I've been sitting on an office chair for family meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379580 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 18:40:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2379580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: good luck with your move tomorrow.</p> <p>We postponed our bathroom reno because of #3. Sounds first world, but there are literally holes in the walls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379564 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 17:53:24 +0000 jill_a55 2379564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: so I read a new crown and thought to wear on your head 😂 Well duuuuh. I don't even have a "good" bra. I got one at VS and I think they measured wrong and I hate it. I'm still wearing my crappy nursing bras 😳<br /> And also, you found a new place last week and you move tomorrow?! Just the thought is exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379537 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 17:06:42 +0000 Happygal 2379537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: finding a good mattress is hard! And expensive.</p> <p>There's lots and lots we'd like for our new home, but nothing that is truly a need.</p> <p>I need pants that fit and supportive shoes. I hate shopping for clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379324 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 13:24:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 2379324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: ew, yeah, a new bra. Ugh, I forgot about that. My only good one is starting to get super saggy, since I basically have worn it every day for a year and a half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379319 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 13:18:31 +0000 LovelyPlum 2379319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tofuwad: both of those things sound nice! We're a one car family in a one bedroom, but we just found a two bedroom place we can afford last week, still in our building, and we move tomorrow! I'm so glad. I hope you can get one soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379318 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 13:15:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 2379318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oxana: have you tried a scratch and dent place, like Sears Outlet? They sell things on major discount because their appearance has been damaged somewhat. You can get some really good deals!! I hear you. The laundromat is the very worst. I hate it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379315 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 13:14:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 2379315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A BED:<br /> We desperately need a new bed. We're currently (still) sleeping on the full mattress my parents bought for me when I was in middle school. It hasn't been a priority until now, but the bed is big time starting to hurt our backs.</p> <p>A CROWN (or 2 :bummed: ):<br /> I had a root canal done a few months ago, but the crown has turned out to be more expensive than I bargained for. My current dentist doesn't offer payment plans, so I haven't done it yet. But I need to, because I don't want this tooth to get infected. Yeah...</p> <p>I was also going to add that we could really use a couch, as we don't have one, but we're getting two second hand ones from my parents and a friend. I'm excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2379267 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 10:49:27 +0000 Rocker2014 2379267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A haircut and dye job.

I need a new one..and that's gonna be $$$. Mil bought that one because she didn't like the rice our last one made and I refused to buy a new one. She's gonna be thrilled to find out I broke it a month later. And this is sorta bratty but my first thought after oh shit, was "our old rice cooker could have survived that." :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc/page/2#post-2378952 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 14:29:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2378952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We need a new stove/oven since one of the eyes died. So far, I've been able to cook with three, but I'd love the convenience of four. Mr. Lime isn't convinced it's that big of a deal though, and he doesn't cook. For spaghetti for instance, I boil the pasta on the only working big eye and then make the sauce after the pasta is cooked. Before, I'd have the sauce going the entire time on the other big eye. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc#post-2378928 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 13:42:07 +0000 CakeLady 2378928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New underwear, new running shoes, not much else.

I would also love to repipe our whole house. We had a slab leak a few months back and rerouted one of the pipes but now I'm nervous about getting another leak! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc#post-2378890 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 11:18:37 +0000 gingerbebe 2378890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess we don't need anything since we just had the washer repaired and the fridge repair was under warranty. And we just got out minivan. Will need pretty soon are new sinks and faucets in the master bath - we replaced the guest bath earlier this year and our master sinks are patched and looking pretty bad.<br /> Oh we need to get our trees pruned before winter sets in but I'm waiting on estimates.</p> <p>No one in this house wants for clothing although DS needs some rain gear that he's getting for Xmas.</p> <p>Our kitchen appliances minus the fridge are pushing on 18 years old so they work but they are inefficient and loud, especially that dishwasher. Oh and the garbage disposal.</p> <p>We will need a new sectional in the next few months bc we never got one when we moved to our new house and currently use the living room as a playroom for DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc#post-2378880 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 10:55:59 +0000 yellowbird 2378880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter tires and a tune up for our car </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-things-do-you-need-but-havent-bought-yet-due-to-budget-etc#post-2378873 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 10:43:20 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2378873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A dishwasher!
