my weakness is our cinema passes (I paid a yearly subscription - that works out at £13 per month). I have free internet at work and at home (we have one of those plug in stick things from the mobile phone co so we get free wireless internet) and I tend to only buy chocolate/sweeties when they're on special or if we've got any lottery/pub quiz winnings!

Its the one thing me & hubby do every week together sometimes its just us, sometimes with friends. Plus if we go twice a month we've had our money's worth. We smuggle in our own drinks & snacks too or try to eat before we go so were not tempted to spend money while were in there.

Books--I know I could go to the library, but they never have anything up to date, what they do have you have to wait ages for and sometimes they smell a bit interesting. So interesting in fact, that I have been known to read one holding it in a teatowel that I threw away afterwards.

I dont like selling them after I read them either. And I dont give them away or even like lending them out.
Just sat here thinking about the books and I think I might have abit of a book problem!

I am EXACTLY the same with books... Infact, I have to buy a new bookshelf soon, because I can't even bear to box them up and put them in the cupboard!!

Hi, my name's Tellmeitsfriday, and I am a Bookaholic!!!

I would say the internet, but our old laptop at home is so crumbly I barely use it there (OH mostly uses it for XBOX online, but that's HIS addiction) so I use it at work in my lunch hour where it's free

Therefore, I have to say (and I know it might seem a bit strange) but my addiction is getting my milk delivered! It's the one thing I can do that makes me feel like I have a luxury but doesn't break the bank. Brings back lovely memories from childhood and makes me feel looked after, plus saves having to lug it home from the shops

I would say books too, but I'm trying really hard to read the ones I already have or go to the library instead of buying new ones, so i feel like I'm doin' alright

PS. I paid off my loan today. Am stoopidly excited even though it doesn't change my financial situ due to other debts, just wanted to share and encourage everyone to keep going

It's got to be makeup for me. I could never imagine leaving the house without my 'face on'.
