    I don't spend much on clothes but do on leather jackets(£100+)...would also spend £100+ on a watch. Well have done on several occasions for each item.

    My watch.
    Radley bags - only get them in the sale, but it's still more than I'd usually pay!
    Pandora charms. Actually, jewellery in general, but not many items.
    My laptop.
    Cigarettes and coffee *blushes* - coffee I buy expensive coffee, cigarettes I buy cheap but smoke an obscene amount, although when I'm spending more money on other things (I don't have many outgoings now where I'm living) I will quit.

    Think that's about it, for me!

    Technology (mobile phone, computers - I'd gladly spend £2k on a PC if I had the money - we'll see in a couple of years time ).

    When I grow up I very much hope to have enough money to explore my interest in cars more. Doesn't necessarily mean buy expensive cars, but have enough to buy what I wanted most of the time (and enough that I could afford losing some money when I change my car every month ).

    I would spend decent money on holidays-my latest big expenditure was £125 towards the family butlins trip.Although,i did buy a laptop for £149 a year and half ago because i like computers and the internet but that didn't work out well because it kept breaking-black screen after 1st week and i have given up on the laptop now.

    Camera lenses, only around once every two years though as they're crazily expensive.

    And my mattress, I spent a lot of it and never regretted it.

    i spend money on lifes luxuries such as Watches [i love my Omega, will never regret that purchase :rolleyes:, Wallets, Clothes, Vodka, Wine etc. id rather save up and buy a nice thing once in a while which i can keep for years than some cheap tat which will have broken or fallen apart relatively quickly

    or drink and enjoy as the case may be

    A good pair of boots.
    I've had the same pair for nearly 7 years and they're still going strong. Luckily I still have feet the size of a mouse's.

    Oh, and likewise with coats.

    Contact lenses, daily disposables. Good food, never eat takeaways/pre-prepared stuff. Cafe bought coffee :drool: I try to restrain myself, but almost everytime I'm out, I buy one.

    Thats it. I very rarely buy new clothes or shoes, bags etc., get by at uni borrowing books or buying second hand, buy the cheapest makeup and products, don't own any designer or branded stuff, average phone, don't have a camera or any other gadgets, my headphones cost £2, my ipod is my sisters old one, no car, don't spend much money on nights out; i go on cheap nights and rarely pay for my own drinks...

    wow didn't realise I was so unmaterialistic/cheapskate.

    This...

    Switched to buying them online since they're cheaper online than in the opticians but they're STILL a drain on my wallet. Went back to wearing my glasses in order to save money but they were too weak so I got charged almost £60 for new lenses. Being visually impaired is expensive!!

    Holidays, festival and gig tickets. Things I will get memories from basically

    I also love buying books and CDs, I can't really justify loads and loads of money for clothes or anything.

    Also, good food
