Sky Sports, can't function without my football.
Diet Coke and Cadburys chocolate.
Apart from that, not fussy.

I seem to remember there was a Great "who makes what for whom" Hunt a while ago, where those who worked for various manufacturers [thanks, Lou-Lou!] told us which own brands were made in the same factory as the Brand Names .... I'll go and have a ferret and see if I can find it ..... could come in handy!

oh yeah, cannot change the cat food - purina is all they will eat
for us its loo roll, cannot abide the cheap stuff
not overly fond of value fresh meat ie chicken and beef (espec mince) as its just not the same quality - that being said, I do buy it every other month as I suspect it will have to keep getting better as demand increases for it
I do love nice perfume too but have started only getting as pressies or when i have enough boots points.
Girlies monthly stuff too - cannot go there on the value stuffDFW 228 LONG H 68

:wave: Hey my lovelies!
I will scrimp on anything. I don't mean do without - I mean spend as little money on it as possible.
With the exception of meat...
Hugh and Jamie have done me over.
Not before time I hasten to add so it's pricey organic happy dead animals for us and eggies from a nice old dear who lives near my mum.
...and my bloody hair!
Even after two years of being a DFW I'm still paying to get it cut and coloured in a salon.
:eek:
I go half as often - but I still go.
If we were made redundant or summat then I'd have to do without this - but all the time my extra work pays for it I don't even feel that bad about it.
