What is the ONE thing you refuse to scrimp and save on?

I think we all deserve our own little luxuries in life, we work hard enought for them after all. But in times of financial hardship we find we have to cut back on a lot of things, but what is the ONE thing you could not cut back on? Could be a magazine you are addicted to... your favourite chocolate bar... etc etc?

I would cut out everything else before cutting out the £4 I spend every week watching my beloved football team, Whitley Bay FC.

:beer:

What about you?

    Well, I can't do without my National Enquirer - £1 per week - I know it is utter rubbish but it is the only brain dead time I get:confused: . My hubby must get his photography mag - just under a fiver per month.

    If Heinz baked beans is your only vice then you're doing pretty well!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
