    For me it is Liz Earle fragrance no.1, I use it very sparingly and buy it when I have a John L. Voucher from my JL credit card, as it costs £49.

    Also when I buy it I book a redeemable facial so I catch two birds with a stone that way, free facial and discounted fragrance.

    I had one a few days ago but this time the perfume is for my sister, birthday present, I still have half a bottle of mine.
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    For me it's a soak in a really hot bath - a waste of energy and water and I don't do it much. But i love it :p
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    Me too! I do have a bathroom but my lodger has it for his personal use, although he always offers to let me use it should my shower throw a wobbly. I just don't like to - that's what he pays me for and it's enough to cover all my standard bills. However, we are going away to a lodge on a lake in Cumbria over Christmas and we have splurged on having two bathrooms, just for the two of us so I am already planning which of my stores of bath goodies I will liberate.....
