Hi Oldbag and Sarah
Yes, I was quite shocked when I did the sums. Admittedly a lot of our stuff is fairly new. Leather lounge suite onlt 1yr old and main appliances like washing machine,dryer, fridgefreezer no more than 2yrs old, so it is definitely worth it for us, but I also added in costs for smaller basics like kettle, coffee machine, blender, 4 sets of linen for our king size bed as i have to have the 1000 thread count linen due to a skin condition as it is much more comfortable for me (which is hard to find in uk) and lots of other bits and pieces and it added up to a small fortune paying UK pounds.
It might be a good idea to look on some UK websites for prices as you could well be surprised.
I have listed a couple of sample websites to give you a clue.

Today is the start of De-Clutter the House; even though I vowed I wouldn't hoard again, it's there - lurking in dark corners. Where does it come from!
My mum and sister are already keeping stuff for me.......bless.
