Son does karting & hubby has really got into the mechanic side (was so not practical before ) Now our garage has every tool imaginable. The downside is that he screwdrivers, torches, etc that I keep in the kitchen drawer keep migrating into the garage.

Got to be the internet!

I have cut back and cut back however really cannot imagine living without:

Internet
Decent coffee (although do look for the best deals when buying)
My blackberry (vital as self-employed)
Decent haircut and colour (now have found excellent home hairdresser)
kindle (can read still even when physically managing a book is too hard)
candles (soft light and warmth :-) )

My guilty secret is that I never make lasagne anymore as the MrT large one is delish and big enough for 4/5 meals for me (DDs don't like it) and is only £3.95 - i'm not sure I could make it for less than that and as my kitchen is tiny, I wouldn't bother making one - one pot cooking is the fav here

Also MrT value part baked baguettes - I can never make my bread taste that good

A full bath. Hubby says i am wastefull, i just blame my hair :-)

At the minute we have a steering wheel in the sitting room and a set of new tyres waiting to go on their rims in the hall)

ps I am not adverse to having a go myself (in the kart I mean) although I do get my hands dirty on race weekend changing wheels and fueling up. I am also 'team manager' making sure hubby (mechanic) and son (driver) and kart are where they should be - more of a 'Rob Smedley'. And not forgetting 'brollie dolly' on the grid - now that is a laugh if you saw me in my dirty boiler suit

I love Elemis products. I never buy them full price though and always get them for presents too. I am also very frugal with them and use sparingly but they last ages.

hopefully you know this already. Elemis sell on QVC I usually always buy from there as the discounts are excellent! AAa

For me it's haircuts (although I tend to personally only go to the hairdressers once a yr the kiddos go more often)

I don't mind paying out for clothes but then I love buying them although I still try to get as cheap as I can where possible

I HATE paying out for household/car things

Cappucino's

I know it's 'only' £2.25 a time for a large one at our fav cafe, but when I'm paying for me and my OH every time, and it's minimum twice a week, it soon mounts up!

TK Maxx is great for clothes at bargain prices

Household and car stuffs are essentials. We don't really get the benefit of enjoying the spend in quite the same way as hair/clothes/facials etc.
