Mine's TV - Clean It, Fix It.

It's a calmer and less hard-core version of Stacey's Sort Your Life Out plus it's got Asher in it .
I always end up getting dust in my eyes watching it!

definitely cigarettes - especially after sex!

Two coffees in bed before I get up.

Oooh snap. But I don’t feel guilty about it!

Re-reading my favourite Enid Blyton books from my childhood, especially The Five Find-Outers & Dog, The Secret Of stories and Malory Towers. I know they are awful! I don’t feel guilty about reading stuff like Swallows and Amazons…just the sordid Blytons!

They are like a comfort blanket. I will happily re-read by ablutions time and time again! I’ve got eldest DD reading them too.

I don't have one. I never feel guilty about pleasure!

Watching endless Disney vlogs. Even though I don’t have plans to go anytime soon. I just like the escapism. Everyone is happy, everything is magical. Not like the real world!

Buying earrings- the only jewellery I wear.

Watching those god awful cheaply made vertical dramas you see clips of on Facebook (and sometimes reading the book version)!

Not getting dressed all day when I have a day off work.

Takeaway picnic in bed with the kids on payday.

Really?
Why do you want alcohol at breakfast time?

I don't have any guilty pleasures. Why feel guilty about things that bring you joy?

Well no, I don't actually feel guilty about it. You're right. But I did get judged a bit when I said it on a 'What was your breakfast?' thread recently. I drink very little, and seem to enjoy it any time of day.
