Things you wish you'd spent less / more on?

[ultralaser]

A little of an odd thread but as I'm preparing to buy my first home I'm starting the dreaded process of realising all the additional things I'll need to purchase and I thought I'd ask the wise of OCUK what items they wish they had spent less or more on?

I'm in need of lots, fridge freezer, washing machine, new bed and mattress, sofas, dining room furniture, TV. And inevitably every one of those range tremendously in price. So just wondering when you moved into your first home what did which bits do you look back and say 'I really should have spent more / less' on X.

Thanks

UL,

Thanks, weirdly mattress and bed where bottom of my list :0 any recommendations on bed frames / matress (in the past I just had the cheaper ikea ones).

So in my case the house has been totally reburbished, but I would like to change a few bits.

So we're saying:
Sort out the bedroom with a decent hardwood bed and mattress.
Sort out dining room
Sort out living room sofas
Sort out the essentials in the kichen (fridge freezer and washing machine).


Thanks

Thanks for all the replies will start reading the mattress thread and take a look at cheaper ways to buy certain products. Also @koolpc, I got the TP covered
