    and I thought I was bad for books :rotfl:Five bookcases in the Snug, three in the playroom. All double stacked, plenty more upstairs :D. The wood burning stove generates a lot of dust so cleaning the bookshelves is an epic job. We have about 220 feet of shelving covering 2 whole walls, floor to ceiling - 1 in LR, 1 in DR :D

    I also agree on the coffee. We have a Dolce Gusto machine and at 20p a cup it isn't cheap but there is no way I would change back to instant. We don't do instant either, even when we go visiting my mum we take coffee with us :D We also have coffee creamer with our coffee - the stuff you get in cafes, we bulk buy ours from Mak*o every few weeks :o We get our coffee online 2kg at a time (it doesn't last as long as you might think :o) & it is much more expensive than even the best stuff in the supermarket, but, oh, soooo worth it :rotfl::rotfl:
    Mind you it costs a lot more in a coffee shop. ;)
    I'm still sticking to my grinder and cafetiere, but I do get tempted from time to time.
    Then I look at the prices and decide I can't justify it. We tried to reduce our, ahem, coffee habit, cough, but you just can't get a 12-step programme for it, ahem
    I bought DH a grinder and a new percolator for christmas, and a stove top espresso maker and we've got a cafetiere. We rather like coffee too :rotfl:. I'm currently being tempted by a beautiful red tassimo machine on Amazon. It's calling my name, but I really can't justify any more coffee makers :(It is addictive, isn't it? Mind you, we've found that, after much intensive research, we like it ready ground and a normal filter machine :D

    :D
