Guilty Pleasures!

    Topshop.com....it's very much a guilty pleasure as I should not be spending money, and definitely not on disposable fashion. I have to keep selling things on ebay to balance things out (in my head that is, as I never make enough to cover the purchases!).

    Juliet Marillier Books. I'm a tiny bit of a literary snob - well I moan about chicklit, Twilight, trashy crime etc anyway - yet sometimes I just really get in the mood for these books. I think it's because they really are fantasy/fairytale stories.

    Harry Potter. I bet there aren't too many people in their twenties with a ticket booked for this Friday.......

    Chocolate. During exams I only eat chocolate, and even if I'm not stressed I usually eat some chocolate every day. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Edgedinblue


    I love watching cooking shows, embarrassing bodies, any programmes involving sex, 16&pregnant, i could go on...

    Love chocolate but thats not really a guilty pleasure.

    I love wearing mens boxers, new ones obviously! there just so comfy and big!! :D

    One of those things I apparently shouldnt like but do is girls in shlumpy clothes, round the house tracksuits with hoodies and hair up, no makeup on. my ex(es) all hated me seeing them that way, but I liked being around them in their natural state, its adorable. us men have it so much easier when it comes to this, we look like what we look like, no makeup to hide things, except when we get spots, then its a bitch :D

    Staying in my pj's for the day and getting take away food.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    daim bars, the musical stylings of 5ive, trashy magazines, anything with cupcakes on it, jeremy kyle, my big pink onesie...the list is endless!

    Definately my little battery operated friend.

    One night stand if lucky!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    Similiar to others here...I like spending a weekend day drinking tea, eating all my meals and biccies and pleasuring myself in bed after turning my phone off. Good bye cruel world for just one day. Lovely.

    Are you joking? We grew up with him, we've more right than anyone else to be first in the queue!:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,649 ✭✭✭Catari Jaguar


    I love MTV Made. I get all emotional and proud of them when they're "made" :o

    I've given it up but I used to eat the Frubes and Cheez Dippers from the kid's school lunches when they were out sick!

    Worse still, buying Haribo for class prizes and eating it out of my desk drawer...

    Nekkid Sundays!

    Bitching on the X Factor thread.

    Buying stationary and coloured pens.

    Young adult books: The Mortal Instruments series, Georgia Nicholson Diaries and the Twilight Saga.

    Dancing (uncontrollably) to...erm...:o...Reach for the stars by sclub7 whenever I hear it. I know. I know. Disgraceful. But it's just such a happy song!

    Chocolate breakfast...cosy saturday mornings in bed with the OH with thick buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and a yorkie bar melted on top, watching either re-runs of Star trek TNG, mythbusters, or american what not to wear.

    also love smelling new books, especially dictionaries, they smell nice! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 188 ✭✭sallysaucer101


    OMG I love stationary!! Love delivery day in work when I get to unpack it and I love being the first to use a new pen or note book! (How sad is that!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,129 ✭✭✭LenaClaire


    I still love buying colored pens and notebooks. When I went back to school I was taking notes in purple and pink :o I also love the smell of book stores especially ones that also have really old books.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭girlyhappyface


    I love walking around chemists for ages smelling things.
    I love watching nature programmes.
    I love staying in my PJs all day and only showering and getting dressed a half hour before my partner comes home.
    I love obsessively googling authors of autobiographical books that I have read and loved.
    I love documentaries.
    I love sitting for a half hour in front of the mirror squeezing my blackheads. I love popping spots!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Edgedinblue

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 867 ✭✭✭giddybootz

    That sounds amazing. I love pancakes! Only ever had good ones in the States though, they're all crepes over here :(

    I watch What Not to Wear every weekend! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,649 ✭✭✭Catari Jaguar


    Oh I've thought of more guilty pleasures...

    I loved Barcode nightclub. And drinking Red and Blue WKD. And skobie dancing to Maniac 2000 while singing along.... Combine those and that's a great night out imo. Whoop whoop woo!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,540 ✭✭✭Giselle

    Piggery, are you joking? I've eaten approximately 300g of peanut butter M&Ms every day since Saturday. That's piggery.

    Oh me too!!
    Another of my guilty pleasures is recording loads of CDWM episodes and spending one of my days off on the couch watching them all. I could honestly watch 10 episodes in one sitting! I always promise myself that I will make some of the stuff I see...... but I never do!


  • Registered Users Posts: 105 ✭✭apsalar


    Forgot to add I also watch How Clean Is Your House?......The OH absolutely hates it and I know it's absolutely disgusting the way some houses are but I can't stop watching once it's on......as grossed out as I get..:(

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    I love Lindt Double Milk, especially after it's been in the freezer for 20 minutes and the layers break apart.
    I also love to scoff on Lily O' Brien's sticky toffees but they're a rare treat.
    My teeth hate me for it but I love chocolate with fudge in it. Nom.


  • Registered Users Posts: 207 ✭✭Hairy Nipples 87


    Walkers Sensations, Red Cheese and Chutney flavour, only one of my friends who LOVES these crisps!!..

    Tbh, I've actually watched The Notebook about five hundred times and I know all the words and sometimes when I'm alone, I watch it and talk along with the characters.

    And me with Pulp Fiction :)

    My other guilty pleasure: Dark chocolate. 70-80% cocoa solids. With an equally strong cup of coffee. There is nothing quite like it.

    Also, really cold full-sugar Coke from a can. I try and avoid it because it's so high in calories and it's terrible for you, but it's so good - had a can in my drop bag for after the Dublin Marathon this year, and it was the best thing ever. :D

    "It wasn't over... It still isn't over!!"

    I cried the first time I saw that film :o

    Another guilty pleasure of mine has resurfaced now that the weather is cold again... After I've showered and had my breakfast, I sometimes jump back into bed for ten minutes or so, it's sooooo nice (but there is always a danger I will fall asleep again... Hasn't happened to me yet this year)

    I LOVE that movie, its my sick day dvd, and The Goonies.
    Princess Bride is one of those movies I could never get sick of watching, I showed it to my 7 year old nephew a while back and he loved it,along with Indiana Jones and Back to the Future, his movie education has begun :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭Eviledna


    I love the film Enchanted, get goosebumps every time I watch it, really sad I know, but love it.

    Especially the part in central park, "that's how you know that you love her"

    Also, I want that dress. Oh god.

    When my son goes to his dads for the day my duvet comes out to the couch and I spend my day in front of the TV eating biccies and drinking tea.
