  • Broadband internet - had steam driven dial up when BT mucked up and I was near suicide!

    And good loo roll
    And since I'm an almost-no-takeaway coffee person now
    A really posh coffee, about a bag every three weeks.
  • My horse. Yes he is expensive but he's my life :saddo: and no one would want him as he is broken and can't be ridden at the moment so I couldn't sell him anyway. In MSE style I have economised, I've put him on a cheaper vitamin and mineral supplement and moved to a cheaper yard with cheaper hay. Am also selling bits and bobs of his I don't need even if I only make a few pence or pounds it's better than having things sitting around taking up space.

    My dogs! I love them to bits, couldn't be without them. Plus they are great for keeping me fit. I KNOW I have to get off my backside and walk them every day. No excuses!

    I won't give up my liking for buying womens underwear. They are just so much softer on my skin than mens pants. :)

    I've been able to stop the wine, chocolate, Starbuck's lattes, etc. got my daily lunch bill down to £1.10, and quite often don't even spend that. :A

    But I have a lovely lovely lady who takes away my ironing once a week and brings it back - perfectly ironed - two days later. It's the best £12 I spend weekly, and I'd cut down even more so I could still afford it.

    ;)
