I think the winking emoji at the end of the cat post tells us the writer's intention.

Really hope so

The cats I have had. All totally spoiled and worth every last penny.

My cat is on offer for adoption, she has found a never ending source of mice.
We have had one a day, some dead some still alive for about 10 days now.
She has to go.😉

Hopefully that is intended to be a joke.

For improving the quality of my everyday life, the award goes to the coffee machine. I love it. ☕️

My conservatory which I have had for over 25 years.
I live in it in the summer, it means with my rather full house there is always a space to go in and for the last few weeks it is so warm in the morning being east facing that I haven’t needed heat on until late afternoon.

I am with you there we spent the whole day to-day in our unheated conservatory as it was a sunny day . It lifts your spirits so much just to be in all the light. They are supposed to be going out of fashion but I would hate to be without one.

The donation I gave to the dog rescue charity for our rescue girl. She gets me get up in the morning, makes me laugh, makes me take exercise and when she is with me people tend to talk to me which is an added bonus.

A Thermomix, worth every penny.

Definitely, I was persuaded by Alain Roux to buy mine, never regretted it 👍🏻

That’s money well spent, my mum used to say.

In terms of improving your happiness/ enjoyment/ mental well-being/ quality of life what have you spent money on to best effect?

Holidays, mostly, but sometimes just a small amount of money spent can make a difference.
Last year I bought a lovely coat in the sales for £40.
Or my airfryer, which cost about £45.
