What's your non OS guilty secret?

school shoes for me too. So important to have them properly fitted. And I'd go without quite a few things to have a holiday.

briquettes for my smoker, and the meat to go in it, the results after a days smoking fills my freezer with goodies for months,

Getting my eyebrows waxed at my beauticians, I feel far more confident after vs me armed with tweezers!

Good quality make-up - lasts longer and is generally just so much better!

Free range eggs are a must

And once a year a bottle of Clarins tonic shower gel as a treat! is £17 but worth it!

Also agree, hate paying for car stuff - even petrol seems a chore!

Fresh fruit, eggs for eating (as opposed to used in baking), meat/fish, perfume and moisturiser!

ETA: and hair conditioner and sunscreen.

Decent coffee. We use 2bricks of Lavazza a week. Can't stand cheap coffee would rarher go without.

I used to pay £7 to get mine waxed at my local beautician and resented parting with the money but hated the alternative! They closed down :eek: and it was the only decent one in my town - I spent a little time researching and bought my own waxing set from Argos for just over £40 and have been doing them ever since - I have used it 20+ times and theres still over half the wax left.

Worked out SOOO much cheaper plus easier to do as I can do it whenever I want :T Not sure if it would work for you but thought I'd let you know.

Just wondering what all you OSer's find is the one non OS item/habit you just can't give up.

For me it's kitchen (and toilet) cleaning wipes. I hate having to use a cloth or sponge on my surfaces, I think they trap too many germs.

Magazines are a bad one for me. And I buy a lot of books but try to look at them in the library and then buy from charity shops or used on ebay or amazon.

I do love my magazines! I got all excited when Land Love and Landscape started up. Beautiful! I also get an Amish magazine from America, Country Living, a gardening magazine, a baking magazine, a cross stitching magazine, a sewing magazine and Mollie Makes. Bit of an addiction really!
