What do you spend too much money on???

About £2K per year on ciggies and another £1K on takeaways.

Until 3 weeks ago it was diet coke. I was made redundant 3 weeks ago and haven't had a can since I left.

I worked out yesterday that I was spending £20 a month on diet coke (at least). most of it was Asda own brand cans at £1.08 for 6 (used to buy 24 at a time), but there was also the Pepsi Max at 50p a can from the work's shop when Iran out of the Asda cans.

I used to take in 2 or 3 cans a day and then have a couple of cans when I got home.

£20!!!

Actually.........I won't be buying any next month - if I transfer £20 to my savings account at the end of the month, I can add £20 to my Olympic Challenge total!

you sound exactly like me and my hubby!!!!!!!

I've just spent £11.00 on petrol and 69p on an ice cold can of coke, it was lovely in the hot car, I'm trying to cut down though as I also worry aobut my teeth. Mine is general frittering, toiletries, clothes, food etc.

Books. Books and Books.

I love them. I love the whole experience of browsing for hours in bookshops, the smell of them, the feel of them, the way i can lose myself in one for a couple of hours at a time, the way they look on the shelves in my lounge....

I am completely addicted!

I'm glad it's not just us then! There's something about a new book... the smell the feel, the knowledge no one else has read it... Trying to get hooked on charity finds and green metropolis but...

That and gifts for other people, whether it be friends, relatives, hubby or my mum... I always go over the top. I know I should rein it in... but I don't seem able to!

Drinking and food - we are very sociable beings and very hard to avoid in my line of work (work in music industry and need to be out to get more work!)

I'm managed to cut down my clothes shopping to almost zero recently but I have had a relapse but it was my birthday money I was spending to have justified it to myself :rolleyes:

I use www.readitswapit.com now as I don't have the space to keep books so I just swap them!

Books - but now I use the library.

Magazines - but now i have a daughter who works and is as daft as me - so I wait for her to buy them and then I just read them.

That just leaves the chocolate, the chinese take aways and the odd bottle of wine!!!

PS I also nick my daughters clothes and make up now too! (or we buy one between us!) I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A REASON WHY I HAD CHILDREN.
