 My frivolous 'spends' goes on handbags (not necessarily very expensive logo designer ones sported by celebrities costing £400 upwards, but certainly very good leather ones like The Bridge), handmade jewellery from my favourite designer (usually silver with semi precious stones (I got a commissioned item made recently that cost me the best part of a grand), good food and wine, Amazon goods - books and films. I also like buying kitchen gadgets as I love cooking. Occasionally, I attend concerts, but not that often. I don't spend a great deal of money on lots of clothes or hairdresser visits every month or extravagant beauty treatments like massages, tanning sessions, facials, mancures etc. I look fine anyway (so people tell me).Originally posted by sasguru View PostOK so you're a loaded contractor, life's too short to accumulate and you love flashing your cash. What do you spend it on?
 Holidays, high class escorts, cars, champagne, charlie?
 Let us tight gits know what we are missing.
 
 Not much goes on holidays or extravagant going out to posh restaurants or bars. I don't even own a car. In fact, I lead a fairly simple life, usually.Last edited by Denny; 10 January 2008, 18:35.Comment

 Don't really live that excessively.
 
 Am away all week and so try to enjoy the weekends, out for dinner, concerts, occaisional weekends away. Also try to make the most of holidays and since you're missing out on billable time it's worth spending a few pence extra to make sure you enjoy it.
 
 Drive an average car and live in an average house. Not much to say really.Comment
