What luxuries have you not given up despite the recession?

Storminateacup

So we all have things dear to our heart that we would quite happily forgo food in order to enjoy life a little more so what little luxuries do you still allow yourself despite being as broke as a whores mattress?

I haven't given up anything at all because of the recession. Still go out every weekend, still have the full sky package, still play ball whenever i want, still go on 2/3 hols.

Strangely enough I was very well behaved during the good times. Prudent with money I was. But I have lately taken to going out drinking and for dinners regularly. Which is leaving me terribly broke along with rent and bills.

Driving a petrol car, that has to be a luxury...if not a rarity these days? And a 1.8 at that....dear god!

Had to let one of the servants go,dahlings.
Apparently one has to apply toothpaste to one's toothbrush.
I thought that toothbrushes were self-foaming.

I'm not sure what the answer to this question is but I will think about it and post up what luxuries I have not given up despite the recession.

Thanks,

The answer is petrol for my delivery van.

Azureus

Going out for dinner-used to have date night once a week now its once every two/three months if that.
Means I learned to cook though

starlit

None other than thinking before I buy and not buy things impulsively when shopping.

brendanlawlor

Oh and I used to buy a bag of chips once a week but I now spend the money on scratch cards. The way I see it, it costs the same and any winnings from the scratchcards is profit.

Also I have given up deciding to move house to a different town because business has slowed down so much and it is a bit of a financial burden to get a new mortgage and have to pay for the mortgage when business is slow. And also I have given up my boxing clud membership and I do it at home now with my son John.

Lady Chatterton

Good wine and the occasional bottle of Champagne
