It's my first (non-diary) thread so take it easy! 
What is your Kryptonite? Your Achilles heel, if you will?
We're all amazingly strong-willed DFW's (well we like to think so, anyway
) but what is the thing you're most likely to splurge out on.
Mine is a baguette from the local baguette shop. £2.60 of pure yumminess! Crab flakes, onions and Chinese Chicken to be exact! Everything else I've given up, apart from that!

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Ooh, great idea for a thread :T .
Mine is craft magazines/books, or wool to make up some of the patterns in them. Which, of course, I never finish. I try to fulfil my addiction via eBay so I'm only buying second hand/cheap and with money I've raised by flogging my stuff, but still.
Finishing a project gives me the same kind of thrill as finishing up another bottle of 'bargain' shampoo from my stash, and they both happen just as frequently i.e. almost never :rotfl: .I joined the 21k debt free in 2 years head to head challenge 12 December 06

Currently...£4,687.210 -
I guess OH and I have one each.....
Mine is relatively new.... I have fallen in love with the Liz Earle 3 step cleansing routine. It is quite expensive (altho I used to use clinique, so I won't notice too much asthey're about the same price), but if my face feels completely different!
OH's is defiantely Sky... I could live without it easily, but he loves watching tv!

That was mine too. Been off the booze for 2 weeks now and missing it, but not the loss of cash!
Oh and I can't resist the Starbucks Gingerbread Latte! But in my defence, it comes round only once a year!Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.0 -

Tell me about it, the amount I waste on beer each month is shocking!
Well done on the 2 weeks, might give it a go myself after xmas!0 -
Mine is Haribo Tangfest sweeties. I am addicted, will probably cost me a fortune in dental bills in years to come though. Second and final LBM 01/01/11 Nearly got there but fell of wagon. HAVE to do it this time :mad:0

Mine is the supermarket - generally!! (hence I try to have the shopping delivered as much as I can so I don't buy anything that isn't on the list!)

It's magazines for me.
I usually spend around £5 a month on magazines.
This isn't a large total, but the mags I buy are all celebrity-gossip type mags. They include the same gossip that I can read on my lunch-break online, for free!
However, I just love lying on my bed reading them!0 -
Red wine
And bargains.... eg biscuits - can't resist a 2 for 1 - then the kids just eat them in double quick time!0
