dvds/cds - now soulseek or borrow
takeaways - not done this for months!
recreational drugs - v expensive habit lol, and unethical really (wouldn't say no to the odd saucy evening with a disco biscuit but no more amy winehouse stylee benders for moi!)
Clothes - only buy in sales or from charity shops.
