  • I hate spending money on fake tan. I'm so pale it harldy makes any difference anyway, plus the halfway decent stuff costs a lot and it's a hassle to apply and has ruined some of clothes and bedding. I suddenly thought recently, I like my skin colour, so why change it just to try and fit in with eveyone else?

    I hereby renounce fake tan! (should save a bit this summer!) :T

    I hate spending money on my OH or the kids. It should be spent all on me!!

    But seriously,

    I too hate SKY etc. We have freeview, but I refuse pointblank to ever pay more than the TV licence for watching rubbish.

    I hate "Fast Food" places. Its cr*p food and we still go!!!! (occasionally!)

    Although I don't have sky or freeview etc, I feel that still making people pay for their TV licence is unfair and I am sure I would resent it even more had I got sky or cable.

    Why are people still being made to pay for the BBC when they are then paying a monthly subscription for sky, cable etc. Even people who choose never to watch BBC channels have to pay their licence fee or risk going to court :mad: :mad:

    Bras - such a pain, and now they reckon they last approx 60 wears or six months :eek: Like I can afford that all the time!

    I agree with the bra's. A good one costs so much and after 3 washes the bones fall out!
