Rosie's Guilty Pleasures


Lindt 70% at least 2 bars a week, more if Scott gets to it first

Magazines, I buy them like they are pornographic, hide them until I get home and then devour them in minutes, cheap thrill, never as good as the cover promises (I think I am buying the wrong ones)

Big Brother - suckered in again

Saturday mornings - no alarm, little lie in, lazy breakfast (before
shower) & luxurious read of the paper

Ebay shopping - Can you ever have enough pairs of shoes that don't fit
properly?

Washing my feet in Max's bath, feels so good at the end of a long day


Love Bars from Pret a Manger - my word, I shouldn't even tell you about
them, you won't thank me (my whole team is addicted, it's serious! Worse than that, if I haven't bought them for everyone I have to wolf it down before anyone sees)

Bookshop browsing - hours of precious me time wasted

Walking slowly home from the tube through Queens Park, should hurry
(kids to feed, bath, put to bed, dinner to cook, washing to do) but nice to dawdle and soak in the fun

Cream teas - oh but I shouldn't

Nomi's Guilty Pleasures


Watching back to back gray's anatomy whilst pretending its cause i'm feeding Jesse.

Gu's vanilla and chocolate cheescake. Sam and i eat one a week (last week bought two packs) both so gutted when its over.

One O'Clock Club. Always feel i should play with ols. Always just sit and chat.

Still making time for Home and Away. Not sure how i do this.

Making Chloe do my feet every time she comes round for the evening..

Daytime sleeps (don't v often, but if i do oh so good)

Bee's Guilty Pleasures


bruce springsteen, billy joel & pat benatar
gill sans font (i am currently obsessed with converting all my PhD research into gill sans – time consuming but i can pretend it’s work!)
anything by the herskowitz/zwick/w.g. snuffy walden team

going to planet organic on the sly and purchasing random overpriced face creams, soaps, quinoa or anything for 34p

charity shop pootling

drinking a glass of chardonnay & reading vanity fair in the bath
watching reality bites/singles/almost famous and pretending i am bridgit fonda/winona/kate hudson
re-reading jay mcinerney’s ‘story of my life’ – (“i’m like, i don’t believe this shit, i said to skip pendleton”) - so class
green & blacks dark chocolate – way better than lindt. currently only on 1 bar a week which leaves room for…
jelly beans, jelly babies, cola bottles and generally anything gummy
buying peonies, even though they cost an arm and a leg
a nice cup of tea and a sit down

Polly's Guilty Pleasures


grease is the word
custard tarts from the queen's park cafe
70% - i've gone from ordering one pkt to three on my sainsburys shop
the real hustle, bbc3
gripping things with my toes - this can be anything from the bedsheets to cushions to shannon's sweatshirt while i'm lying on the sofa (he hates it)
walking through south hampstead wishing i could afford to live there
stalking cillian murphy in queen's park
chewing my lips
papa's salsa verde on ANYTHING
looking at other people's photo albums when babysitting
loose women but i miss sheree and don't like jayne macdonald
other people's blogs - i'm addicted and can waste hours going one from blog to the next getting lost in the process
shipwrecked
and of course topshop, but i don't feel guilty about it in the slightest!

Ben's guilty pleasures


The Horse Whisperer
Bubble baths and candles
Eating ham and salami on it's own, straight from the fridge

Fran's guilty pleasures


Loose women (picture me frantically trying to get Isi to sleep before 12.30).

Maltesers (i don't know what's wrong with me).

Grazia or OK Magazine, not often, but when I do it's oh so good.

Getting paid for a few things and then spending all at etsy (sorry, a little advert there).

My pre-season Top Shop frenzy when I spend quite a lot on all my 'new season pieces' but then I don't have to go shopping for another few months.

At 8pm, on what seems to be every night, there is a show on TMF or FTN or TCM or whatever called All Access ( i think). If Ben is out, I watch this. It lasts an hour, it's usually about Lyndsay Lohan but I love it.

Reading blog after blog and leaving comments on them when I should be working.

Lindt 70%. We keep it in a Tupperware pot in the freezer. We get through approx 4 bars a week. It's an addiction.

If we are out of 70% and Maltesers (rare) I have been known to get a teaspoon full of chocolate powder and lick it. Or dip it in my tea so it melts...and lick it.

Sally's guilty pleasures


Nose picking - mainly mine, but quite often Ben and Sam's
Cleaning my ears out with a cotton bud
Eating crisps in bed
Eating generally really rubbish food occasionally - pepperami's, pot noodles, kebab's when sober
Shopping - i always feel guilty when shopping. Always.
Drinking cold tea and coffee - i think i've got so used to it that I now enjoy it.
Crap TV - Dog the bounty hunter (this is a real programme), America's next top model, real life cop shows, shows about binge drinking in market towns, awful US sit coms that don't make it to channel 4....
Listening to my i-pod (a new purchase) and singing in the mirror - something I haven't done for a very very long time.
Long lunches with wine and shouting builders.
Music that I'm too old to like.
Day dreaming - I am getting worse at this not better. I can day dream all day about things that will never happen. Currently the dream of being an Olympic Ice Skater.
Magazines - all of them. I love them all.
Starbucks - £2.50 for a cup of coffee or am I buying into the lifestyle?
Texting - Orange would fold if it wasn't for my text addiction.
Laughing - I want to laugh more and more and more. Life gets too serious.
Flirting - I missed flirting.
It's a list thing - I missed you last month, don't leave me again.....
