What's your non OS guilty secret?

def our virgin (sky) we added sky sports to it for this season, thou we don't go out at all really so guess like others have said it's our whole entertainment package and much cheaper then going out once a week

we have 2 cars thou looking to drop 1 depends if mine passes it's mot or not, I don't NEED a car while OH is at work I normally only use it a couple times a week if that so it's something I can do without. Plus if i want to go somewhere OH can pop the car back during his 10am break and I just need to be there to pick him up from work at 5, so there is a way I can still use it in daytime if need be.

We don't really have much else, our 2 phones but they are £30 each for the month and we know we would spend more then that on PAYG so they arn't bad deals with new phones

The Radio Times - I know there are plenty of alternatives but they just don't do it for me.

If you go over to the Voucher Board and 'search' for Radio Times you can get 12 copies for £1 HTH.

Also on Grabbit Board.

Love film, wine and gym.

I figure love film is way cheaper than sky, and I don't go out much so the wine is justified. I also pretend that I go to the gym for health reasons, though I know I could just go for a run if that was what I was concerned about!

There's only one thing: proper ground coffee, two cups a day. Everything else I ever loved has gone, gone, gone.

why is real coffee not OS?

I was thinking lots of the things I like ARE os...like decent linen...that lasts forever but is a biggish purchase and being not wasteful etc but I guess I'd count real coffee as OS (especially if you have access to decent priced beans and a little grinder...I used to find that cheaper, not sure if that is still the case. Its certianly nicer!)


I'd say my pets are the number one thing I won't give up. They are a bit of a financial drain though.

Some beauty products (although I do try sometimes)

some things like exotic fruits and some out of season fruits and veg...but not too often.
