What are your luxuries?

Quality chocolate. Got some Tesco finest chocolate the other day with bitter sweet orange pieces in it (was in reduced box), only 45p.

Like having nice perfume but a bottle lasts me AGES!!!

My luxury - 8 hours of sleep - when do I get it - with two children to take care of...

Quiet time when the kids are in bed, I like to sit down and read with a mug of hot chocolate and some decent cookies as a treat.

My luxury is going to make me sound very, very sad. No! Shut up! I may say it but you shouldn't comment. Tsk

It's my American, shiny, monster washing machine. It is sooo expensive to run taking a full cylinder of hot water to fill it, you have to leave things soaking for hours to get the most basic of stains out and it beats the clothes into shreds but I luuurve the chug-a-lug noise it makes, the fact I can lift the lid and watch stuff being sloshed around and the little beepy tune it chirps to tell me it's done a cycle.

There I've come clean (no pun intended) "My name's MATH and I'm a washaholic":D

Sounds good to me.

I forgot that another luxury was a tumble dryer ... not the fact that I have one ... but finding and making the space for one was.

It's bliss after going 3 years without one - and less ironing too!

Having my nails done - I have them done every 3 weeks which works out as less than a pound a day. I always looked after my nails but now don't have the time I used to. Also saved me money in nail varnish because I've not bought any since I started going to the salon. For my toes - I'm using the 50 plus bottles I had in but these are all very slight variations of the 3 colours! I had done them today actually and they give me a little mini boost.

I agree with the luxuries already said. My luxuries is my mobile phone which I mainly use for texting (now costing me £20-£35 a month.. must check out the mobile phone threads to get a better deal); my cat (catfood, vet bills & health insurance), broadband access. My freeview box & video recorder..(love re-watching TV programs and very rarely rent or buy DVDs)

Good idea I'm not very good at Money Saving, but that seems a lot to me ...

Would have to be my hairdresser. I know she's a bit dearer than anyone else but I've been going to her for about 10 years and she does such a great job I'm too frightened to try anyone else.

Facials and other beauty treatments. However, I go to a fantastic student salon just off Oxford Street that is a quarter of the price of the commercial salons in the area: £6.50 for a manicure, £11 or £16.50 for a facial (depending on the type), £10 for leg wax etc. The standard of care is superb, I've had better manicures there than in some of the places where I payed £32 for a manicure (pre MSE days!!!).

Red wine and having my hair cut. I haven't had it chopped for 7 (oops) months and I get it highlighted when I go. Better book in quick before the split ends take over my whole head!
