So lately we've been slowly upgrading our things. (not electronics). This is a sure sign that we're planning on staying in the country for sometime.
Rather recent upgrades:
Bed - We're on our third bed. First was sold, second is in the other bedroom
Dining table - First was sold, second still being used
Mugs - Got rid of the cheap ones and brought the fancy ones we had from Finland over. Cheap ones went to charity.
Car - On our second. Now driving a BMW... I feel so British!
Glasses - Just starting to upgrade. First batch of better ones bought (Finnish brand). Old ones to go to charity or if someone else wants them.
Frying pans - The cheap ones we have are on their last legs and just bought some nicer ones (Le Creuset). It's amazing the difference in quality. I'll never buy cheap again.
Of course, our next biggerst upgrade will be our own place.
