    Also Dermalogica face products - regard these as a necessity though, as am allergic to just about every other brand, even the posh ones!

    Free range eggs. Now that the price has risen sharply I buy them less often but I won't buy battery hens' eggs.

    Meat - gotta be from a quality butcher. Buying it in bulk and freezing usually works out as cheap as the supermarket stuff tho.

    going to the hairdresser :o to get my hair coloured.

    The bathroom looks like a mad axeman has visited when I try colouring my hair at home, and I hate the smell. :o and I can't be grey, it makes me look ill.

    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.


    I read that as pornography instead of photography :eek: that'll teach me to read instead of skim!

    Mine is Pepsi/Coke - no imposters will do!

    Oh and my horse but she doesnt count! x x
