Loo roll. Cigarettes. Springbank Single Mart Whiskey. Fabric Softener.
I think I could live without the whiskey and cigarettes, but never the loo roll (only Charmin mind, i am REALLY picky about what touches my bits!) or fabric softener.A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. --Eleanor Roosevelt0 -
I started buying designer shoes ever since I spent £50 on a pair for my cousin's wedding and the heels got so messed up that I couldn't wear them again. If I wear my Jimmy Choos just 8 times, they will have cost less per wear than those cheaper shoes.
I also have a dog and spend too much on clothes and make up.0 -
