    bleach spray cleaner (i know i know, stardrops is good....) I just love how it gets everything clean and smells lovely. My mum uses it too so it reminds me of her!

    I'm also a clarins cleanser / moisturiser lover.

    Are we only allowed one thing? I've got a whole list! :D

    The first 2 that spring to mind are gravy granules because I just can't make gravy that tastes as nice as the granules and instant custard because there's normally just my son who wants custard and it's too much of a faff to cook it from scratch just for one person.

  • Here's mine....

    Mr Muscle stuff
    Gravy granules
    Branded washing powder/liquid
    Gallons of Diet Pepsi
    Branded bread
    The odd jar of cooking sauce

    Need I go on?
    I'll get my coat......

    I smoke too, but, as I roll my own - and my other half's - I think that's quite sufficiently old-style, thank you very much :D
  • Hee, hee, another one for gravy granules here! :D

    Also:

    Frozen ready roll pastry (mine always goes too flaky and I never seem to make enough)
    Warburtons Wholemeal bread (yes, it DOES have to be Warburtons and no, I don't work for them!)
  • Gravy granules here too! But then you don't get a whole load of juices out of a vege sausage to make real gravy with! That's just an excuse really, I don't make the others real gravy either when I cook their meat!

    Expensive make up too! It makes me happy, and even happier if it comes with free gifts and samples lol!

    Buying way too many books instead of visiting the library.

    Taking oh's shirts to the dry cleaners when I've just had enough and can't be bothered to iron them!

    Perhaps it'd be quicker to list the stuff that I do that is OS instead!

  • My are:
    Bisto gravy granules
    Diet coke (cant drink any other type) - has to be in a can and ice cold
    Tropicana orange juice (no other brand tastes as nice)

    Another one for bisto gravy granules, they are Vegan friendly so have to have with roast potatoes and veggies!
    There is no issue so small that it can't be blown out of proportion
