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

    SS I'm becoming seriously worried about you - if you continue to lower the tone you'll have to come to the bike sheds with me and saffron and suffer the consequences!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Products especially cos I have naturally curly hair that tries to take over the room if it's not tamed. :rotfl:

  • i cant give up, my broadband (expensive it may be ~ £23.00 a month), my mag subscription (£9 every 3 months) and my downloads (limited to £5 per month now roughly 7 songs) everything else i can give or take... cheap shampoo is the same as expensive stuff (etc) it all ends up in the sewage system and my food intake is basic anyways :) everything else (ie new wii games and clothes) is all saved for or i sale stuff to fund the new stuff :T

    Can we change this to what I could give up? I'm a bit crap at giving up things long term.

    Like:

    Decent tea, actually I get mine in costco at 7.99 for 1100 tea bags so that isn't too bad. Decent loo roll (again costco in huge quantity). Decent meat, decent bread, heinz ketchup, hellmans mayo, heinz beans, alpen museli, broadband, hair stuff, skin care stuff... hanging my head in shame, but at least I serve the purpose of making you all feel better about your vices.

    Another thing, couldn't give up having my hair professionally coloured at a salon. Colouring it at home left it dry and brittle, to the point where it was just breaking off every time I brushed it.

    Yeah it's definitely bread! I'm surprised so many people said that. Also bacon and meat - we try to buy nice stuff and eat a lot less.
