Level 42!!!Blind as you run...aware you were staring at the sun.

For me it has to be Italian Coffee - Illy or Lavazza Gold - maximum 2 cups of espresso a day, or I get 'hooked'. We use the MOKA machine, costs babout £6 in LIDL when they have them, or about £12 in the 'trendy' kitchen shops.
I do have a proper espresso/cappucino machine, but the pods are quite expensive - around £ 26 for 100 (STILL only 26p a cup) but it's stashed away in the garage till things improve. :mad: :mad:
You can not compare Starbucks or Costa to the REAL thing. :beer:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

I know its not really as a luxury, but as a student, Tetley tea and decent loo roll were the only things I would not scrimp on.
I'm with you on the Loo roll - try as I might- and believe me I have tried - I just can't live without quilted velvet loo roll!!!!0 -
Probably the internet. We do everything on it including internet banking so would probably be lost without it!Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

My car - just couldnt get to work at short notice ( i'm a supply teacher and they ring after 8am to get there by half past 8!!!) if I didnt have it and would have to get a taxi - false economy.
and broadband - for getting mystery shopping assignment, submitting work, internet banking and money saving!!!
they are luxuries but do earn their keep too.
