OnTheBrink Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Sure you are. Well, I spent it on..... A carpet steam cleaner. Exciting, huh? A steam cleaner is cheaper than new flooring, so I had to go the practical route and buy something useful instead of something fun. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey, at least it's better than spending it on bills - that's my plan. :tongue_smilie: Okay, now you've got me wanting a steam cleaner, too... wonder if I can talk dh into that....

Jennifer in MI Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Sounds very practical!! I've been wanting a steam cleaner for a while too! Have fun cleaning!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halftime Hope Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I've never regretted buying our carpet cleaner, and there have been many times I've wondered if I could have cleaned...stuff...out of the carpet without it! You wanna know what we're doing with ours and our tax refund? Getting dh decent wheels! I'm so excited for him. He drives nearly two hours a day, and he's been managing with a cruddy, old hand-me-down truck for so long. :hurray: Yay! I can't wait!

Scarlett Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I keep waiting for my mom to buy one so I can borrow it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle T Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 We got ours in March, and it was the ONLY source of income that month. Sigh. 2007-2008 have been rough years. Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigitte Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Ours is being spent on the downpayment on our new to us house. Well, that assumes everything goes okay with the mortgage application and the inspections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSICAinMD Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I borrow my MIL’s steam cleaner once in a while. I love it. It is satisfying for me to see the dirty water at the end and the clean carpet left behind. I’m dork; I know but I love to steam clean.

Emmy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Enjoy it! I love my steam cleaner - we got a new one around the first of the year and I'm amazed at clean it can get my carpets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajama Mama Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Our refund was spent on something much more fun... A back-up generator. Yeah! We have a kid with medical issues and we need electricity, darn it. Our area has had some blackout problems lately and I get nervous because my son has some equipment that runs off of electricity. We've always been fine with the rechargeable batteries for his equipment but what if... So we splurged and bought a generator. If you're in our neighborhood during the next blackout; my house will be the only one with lights on and about 50 neighbors camping there:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iquilt Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I love my steam-cleaner but pretend that I can't work it very well to get dh to actually steam clean the carpets - he loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana in OR Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Oh man! I was hoping you were going to say a $17,000 purse.:D http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2415118&cp=1760782.1760963&pg=1&ab=ln_women_cs2_handbags&parentPage=family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansprouts Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 You ladies have fun shopping! I was going to buy the purse, too, but instead we used the money to pay for some of the home improvements we made last year... :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
