    What do you resent spending money on?

    My kids need new socks, their old ones are too small and have holes in them. Im not sure why but it really irks me to spend money on socks!

    I dont like spending my money on batteries.

    I also hate spending money at the dentist, but thats because it hurts and I have to pay or it.

    So what little thinks do you dislike spending money on?

    Body corporate fees for our weekender. They charge a fortune and provide nothing.

    Green slips. We pay for full insurance so it would be nice if the green slip could be waived for those who do and it be only for people who choose not to have insurance.

    DH's whoopsie speeding fine. Thankfully it's a pretty rare occurrence, being the first either of us have had in 5 years.

    I also hate rego - $500/year for each car and they don't even give us a sticker any more. I want my sticker darn it!

    I like buying kids socks too! However socks for DH is the worse because they are never right, I have purchased every brand of sock in the past year and yet he still has none he likes, not to mention he only seems to have 3 pairs left?!

    I had to think quite hard about this because I quite like spending money I guess having to spend thousands for the way I choose to give birth irks me, but them's the breaks. Men's underwear! I find them really expensive for what they are and what they do. DH never buys new jocks, such an undies hoarder!

    Overdue parking fines. DH puts them away and forgets about them so then I have to pay the fine plus the overdue fee. The fine annoys me, the overdue drives me bonkers!!! I shudder to think how much money we have wasted on fines that DH has shoved into his paper clutter and forgotten.

    Same as many, rego, overdue fines (which I don't have very often!), batteries and fuel.. I don't mind buying fuel, but I resent the amount I have to pay. Especially if you drive past the fuel station on your way somewhere and it's $1.32 and you go there on your way back and it's $1.42!!

    Also I don't pay for water where I am, but I know so many people who HATE when their water bill comes in!

    Um... everything! Not impressed that I just had to pay $90 to play netball

    My gas is bugging me lately. Its frusterating having to remember to get another bottle before running out, then come up with the money to pay for it.

    My birth certifcate I need to reorder mine, but I don't think I should have to pay for it. I also need to pay AGAIN for DS's. They never sent the original out & now I have to pay again coz its been so long

    Parking fines! Especially when I have been stuck in the hairdressers because they were running late, and I haven't been able to get out to feed the meter!

    Recently, Medicare spelt DD2's name wrong on our card and apparently we have to order a birth certificate to prove the mistake is a mistake?? It is 100% their mistake as the same paperwork is used for Centrelink and her name is correct on all our paper work with them PLUS I was VERY careful about making this letter look exactly as it should because I was worried this mistake would happen. Just a little bit peeved that I have to pay for their mistake although we would need a birth certificate eventually... right now it is just another expense that we would rather have put off till more required. I am about to call them though to see if it can be avoided because really, it is their **** up!
