Whatever you want to call it, recession or credit crunch, It looks like there is going to be a lot of budgeting going on.

Which got me to wondering - what are your essential luxuries? The small things that at push you could live without but will be the last thing to go? And what would you be willing to give up so you could keep it?

And I'm not talking about things that you'll compromise on. Giving up your expensive gym for a cheaper one, or swapping Chanal make up for bourjois etc

Mine is probably my hairdresser. I love my hairdressers. I could get my hair cut somewhere cheaper but whenever I have I've been disappointed. If I had to - I'd live on beans on toast for a week so I could afford it. I would hate to give up my gym as well. It's expensive but I go more then I did when I belonged to fitness first, it makes me relax and feel pampered. I would probably give up nice toiletries and live with basic stuff.

internet. we've cut out a lot of things in the last few years but upgraded our internet. lol. priorities eh.

Having at least one epic meal a week! I love cooking and love at least once a week to take a long time preparing something special or different. I love food and eat currently eat veggie during the week to save money for an epic weekend meal!

I love food!!!! xxx

I couldn't give up the hairdressers either. Also I have a facial every 6-weeks.

For me, maintaining clear skin and shiny hair with a good cut is better in the long run than spending a fortune on expensive beauty products.

You actually need to use less and can get away with using less in between trips to the hairdresser and beauty salon.

Flowers! I like keeping them round the house but get very upset when they wilt and I can't get new ones to replace them! I always thought people would buy you flowers if you were a dancer, was a little bit annoyed that this habit died with the music halls...

Rock climbing, it's like a mysterious addiction. It makes my muscles ache, it gives me bruises, but damnit I just can't stop xx

Music.

And my Harley...
