a lot of these cheap luxuries look expensive and I don't know what they are 🙁 I must be common.

So good it is free - doing a big satisfying shite then you go to wipe your arse and its magically already clean

Thats a trait you share with George Michael 🙂 God knows why I've got that bit of trivia lodged down the back of the sofa of my mind.

...goes off to wonder what a years worth of socks looks like in a bin!

My workday luxury is buying my lunch and taking it to a weir on the river ayr to eat and watch herons. No phone reception and the white noise of the river defeats any attempt to think about work.

Home made jam, we've got a friend who makes it professionally and it's way better than you can buy in 'normal' shops

A good bit of white poppy seed bloomer with butter and some nice cheddar on it. MMMM.

But +1 for the internet. If I were stranded on a desert island my one luxury would be net access. Of course, then I'd not be stranded for long since I could email for help.

Bought a similar one for £3 without the box but not as nice or "new" as the one in the pic but after some serious cleaning it is now my daily shaver.

What happens to the spent socks? I recycle them, or more to the point my wife does, they go in the clothes recycling bin at Waitrose or somewhere I assume. I suppose I could insulate something with them.:)

You should talk to Jahwomble, you could probably help recycle his castoffs.

Perhaps thats why Jahwomble gets shot of his socks - he prefers them 'honeymoon fresh' 🙂

Bin bags.

Seriously.

I hate cheap flimsy bin bags so I always buy the most expensive heavy duty ones.

I'm weird.

Very clever marketing that, nothing pretentious, a touch of humour, a touch of nostagia and by your account the contents conform to the claim.

A little luxury? A newspaper and sitting down to read it with a cup a coffee. Something I now rarely do in this digital age.

Is it nostalgia if they're still trading in the same place after all these years? 😉

The contents really do conform to the claim.

???

Did the roast chicken insist on putting on the big light, listening to a shit album and coming out with really bad patter? Why did you invite it?

Breakfast in bed on a Sunday with the paper after a lie in when the kids are staying over at my mum's, trying to do the can-I-be-arsed/will-Mrs-Tyred-be-miffed calculation about a lunchtime ride before they get home.
