Butter, real butter not that kikky-on stuff. It just melts lovely on hot toast :)

My Nan's the same. She always buys expensive farm butter that smells like a ripe old stilton.

If I had to choose I'd go hungry before I'd stop smoking.

That's very honest of you, Sandy. The righteous may be along in a minute to pass judgement upon you. ;-)

I'll just pop outside for a quick one before they get started. Might have a cigarette too ;-)

We're on roll-ups but with a reasonable quality of tobacco :)

Lol Sandy, hope you have the ciggie afterwards and not during :)

He Fluff! I tend not to skimp on food either. I do try to limit takeaways, but that's more to do with calories than pennies...

Food-I've skimped,and it made me ill. So no more of that! And books-there is nothing like a brand new one.

I don't blame you, Bobbi. I really do feel the cold.

Pasta - I've got to be honest, at the rate I was reading a while ago, I saved a fortune buying my books in Oxfam. £2.49 vs £6.99 for a new release does add up. I totally agree with you on the food front though.

Yes, Bobbi, they do have the ability to make a house a home.
