What 'luxury' can you not give up?

Proper coffee, but seem to have maanged to buy so much of it from Italy and France that I won't need to buy it for a little while. Can't buy Nescafe instant coffee it has to be Kenco or better ;o Whiskas for the cats. Burns cat biscuits cause they are more natural then normal biscuits and they love them. Original Source shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Great stuff and save wasting other stuff. Bought a huge bottle of stuff from Costco and ended up chucking it cause my head hated the stuff! Eating out, wine in the evening, sky, my pc with broadband connection, developing photos from holidays. Can't buy cheap shoes or stuff from Primark.

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!)

Agreed - it's great stuff, but too pricey for my current budget. Tip - it's about 40% cheaper in Singapore Duty Free so keep your ears open in case anyone you know is going there, or going to eg Australia or New Zealand via this airport.

I suppose having a shower every day is a luxury. But then, I suppose it's everyone around me who benefits from that one! And I LOVE my footspa. I got it as a present a few years ago and I've just started using it again. Bliss.

And on a serious note, you do feel nice and clean if you use water. I mean all paper does is smudge it around a bit and hopefully you wipe most of it off. Water cleans it off.


And actually i do use this method

I bought a mini watering can in Tesco today reduced to 86p - perhaps I'll give it ago NOT

If at home you could just wet some tissue paper/cotton wool from the hand basin. Cheaper than "moist toilet tissue"

My Saturday night treat.....a big hot bath full of sweet smelling bubbles, a good book to read while i wallow there. A glass of chardonnay to hand in case I get dehydrated and a bar of dark chocolate to nibble on if hunger strikes. After that nice clean fresh PJs and dressing gown and slippers and the rest of the bottle of wine.

And the other indulgence is good coffee...no cheap own brands will do for me.

That sounds lovely and if I did not have four daughters and hubby who would be banging on the door I would love to try it.:j

Well Elona
I don't have the hubby but I have 3 daughters, a grandaughter, a cat and a dog.

That makes it all such a luxury as I just close the door and keep the world out!


Saying that my daughters are all grown up now but they stil want into the bathroom to get ready for their Saturday night out, but by now they know to have everything ready before I hit the bathroom with glass in hand.

Give it a try ...it could become a habit you can't give up.

Lush! I need bathbombs, soaps, shampoo bars, conditioner and sympathy for the skin without doubt.

Good coffee and decent toilet rolls too.

I agree with you about Lush - my treat to myself is to buy their shower gel which can also be used as a shampoo.

They have just changed all these so will have to get used to the new ones now.

Najtaek, that sounds totally wonderful! I think next time hubbie's out I'm going to do just that. (minus the rest of the bottle as one glass makes me all rosy cheeks and giggles.)
