daily cup of coffee from Costa's. Its more a social thing. Our desks are right in the centre of the large building where we work so we have no natural daylight at all during our working day, so a trip to Costa's once a day we get a bit of daylight and get to have a natter, keeps us semi-sane!CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

I could not do without the internet. The monthly subscription has paid for itself a thousandfold.0

I have a 20p cup of hot chocolate when I get to work each morning - it's out of a vending machine but I really like it!Debt free date - June 2008 :T :T :T0

when i think about it there is probably tons of things that I could do without! internet, my mobile, meeting my friend a couple of times a month for a wimpy and a natter!!
My biggest luxury is my car, I could easily live without it - but it keeps me sane as I live in a village in the middle of nowhere and would be stranded without it!!
The occasional £20 spend in primark, the occasional magazine, and the occasional lunch with my work collegues!
oh dear now i feel i should cut back more if i have so many luxuries!0 -
Air and my OH were the first two things that popped into my mind!
A night out every now and then would be my greatest luxury nowadays. Wouldn't like to not be able to have that.Leason learnt :beer:0 -
The internet. (Pays for itself really!)
A garden. (To relax in)
I treat my girlfriend and myself to dinner out every now and then, perhaps a concert or film occasionally too.
I could do without my mobile. If I didn't need it to get to work, I could probably also do without my car.
I could also do without owning a house, as long as renting was cheap enough.
I really like subscribing to magazines but I currently subscribe to none! How committed is that?LBM: Nov 2004 Debt Apr06: £19,273.46 (Highest)

What magazines would you subscribe to if you could?
I'm a right sucker for magazines. Am like a magpie. I generally nick other peoples off of trains though0 -
I couldn't do without so many things that its a wonder I'm not in debt!
My Hovis, my Lurpack. Can buy anything else from Lidl/Aldi but have to stop at Asda on way back for Lurpack and Hovis!
My Car (Without it I'd be lost, I think I'd become a hermit and get utterly depressed)
My GHD straighteners (and my weekly blowdries, and my roots being done.....) Me high maintenance?! Never!
Chocolate just couldn't live without it I'm afraid. Have to have my 'fix' daily.
My mobile (I'm rarely at home and constantly doing work from my car, arranging workmen and getting quotes)
Hmmmm, there's probably a lot more!0 -
My broadband and my PC upgrades. I rarely go out, don't buy new clothes unless I *need* them, or makeup or anything like that. My vice is hardware once every 9 months.DFW Nerd No. 140

Cuddles off my O/H & D/S - but they free (most of the time)
Books - Lurve reading
Paper and nice stationary - I love writing, doodling, list making, writing poetry, stories, making rotas, timetables etc
I love putting pen to paper and to have that luxury taken away from me would make me very sad.0
