    Hi everyone :wave:
    Couldn't do without OH/pets/family (passes round virtual sickbag)
    Coffee and fags (yes I know, I know!)
    Library books and art stuff (love reading drawing and making things)
    Oh and radio 4. As like Calley, I don't want/need/have TV either

    God, sounds like I'm ready for pipe and slippers doesn't it? lol

    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 can buy many things in the 'value' or 'own brand' range except tea. I will NEVER give up my Tetley Tea nor downgrade to any other brand! :beer:

    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!!!!
  • Probably the internet. We do everything on it including internet banking so would probably be lost without it!

  • 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.
