costco's aberdeen angus beef mince.We used to get cheapo mince and it was always swimming in fat when cooked but this stuff is lovely and lean and tastes great too.
My digital camera is so useful too.We used to waste so much on getting whole rolls developed and printed,just to get one or 2 good pics.

Wow - I ask a question and pop out for a few hours, and there's loads of responses - I don't feel so guilty about my luxury now

The idea about beauty colleges for cheap treatments is interesting - although I think the prospect of an inexperienced student attempting a Brazilian wax is perhaps a little too daunting :eek:

I'm ok with this one my best friend does mine :T She doesn't hurt neither, i wouldn't trust anyone else though :eek: :T

Brazilian!!!! You must be joking, I've never been waxed above the knee. Well only once, when I had a bikini line wax and it bled!! It hurt so much I swore I'd never do that again.

Oh and that wasn't at a college either, it was done by a fully qualified beautician

I go to a brilliant Russian woman - quick and painless! From my experience, Russians or Middle Eastern therapists seem to be best at this - not squeamish and no faffing about - it's when they 'faff' that it takes ages and hurts - suffice to say that older no-nonsense therapists are always much better at it than young girls.

I think I've embarrassed myself sufficiently now - I'll shut up

I really think I ought to start being waxed down there.

I cut myself shaving the other day and it wasn't my legs

I couldn't sit down for two hours :eek:

Westons of Much Marcle Special Reserve Cider - i could buy dodgy cheap cider but this stuff is lush and well worth the money!

Ive done that before!! Then my american friend helpfully took me aside and taught me how to do it myself with wax - but Id still rather see a professional, I know it hurts and cant do it to myself!!

I dont mind going to trainee hairdressers, just take a good book! My last one took around 3.5hours, but it was actually rather good in the end.

I could go without my Benefit make up if I had to, but even though it is expensive, ive now found an online supplier that will make it cheaper, and it does last me ages, as I only wear make up for work or going properly out to posh places - I simply dont care about baring my mug around sainsburys!

Im having real difficulty thinking of any 'luxuries' I have that I simply wouldnt compromise on, and I dont know if this is because I see all my stuff as being normal and not posh even though to others is it, or whether I think my stuff is normal and not posh, but is in fact really cheap and nasty

I wouldnt compromise on my tea, I love tetley. I would never have marg any less quality than Flora. And I would never use value bog roll, because it actually isnt value at all - everyone uses much more and 8 rolls of value is pretty much the same as 3 non value!

Oh - I wouldnt compromise on Perfume, I have Coco (So nice - xmas prezzie!) and also have Poison (retro fragrance for me, reminds me of 1996) and Cerutti Image - which I wear on bog standard work type days.

Oh - I love Creme De La Mer face cream - but that was a birthday present, would never buy it for myself, and have resigned myself to the fact that once its gone, its gone!! (So I now use it only after doing a proper facial in the bath, not every day!)

A glass or two of wine in the evening would be difficult to give up. I know, I've tried :eek:

Can't bring myself to use recycled loo roll. I'm always tempted by the price, but as I soon as I realise it's recycled it goes back on the shelf.

I always use Morrisons own. It's recycled and cheap and feels completely fine to me! It's not like they recycle BOG paper to make it! :rotfl:
