Coffee - proper coffee (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Unfortunately as I'm thinking of quitting smoking (another thing I don't like giving up but I know I must) I might have to cut down the coffee a bit too as the two seem to go hand in hand with me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I actually don't think there's any food/drink that I'd really hate to give up, as long as I still had everything else. I think what I'd hate much more would be to give up having a variety of food/drink.
Other than that - music and friends. The two seem to go hand in hand more and more, and it would really break my heart to give up either.

For non-food stuff ,my Oboe and pet rabbits

For food stuff, nothing but if it's an ingredient, I would hate to not eat something with chicken once in a while.

Coffee and dancing. I thought I was going to have to go without coffee for a whole afternoon the other week and was beginning to panic. Fortunately I found some. Now I know how smokers feel.

I've had to give up playing the violin for the last few months because of a shoulder problem. That is really getting me down.

I haven't given up potato crisps, but I try to keep that under control, e.g. there is no point in buying those 6 packs from the supermarket to save money. They don't last 24 hours because I'm a chain-crisp-eater.

I did have to go without coffee when pregnant, because it made me feel sooo ill - but missed it all the same, and as soon as my kids were born, it was the first sustenance I asked for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). And yes, real coffee, not the peculiar freeze-dried stuff which smells of musty furniture...
Wine I've had to cut back on because of medication, and am not missing it, so that's okay.
Good chocolate I'd miss, and ditto good cheese.

Non food/drink: Music, friends, swimming, and I'd hate to go deaf.
Food/drink: nothing in particular, although I could never become vegetarian, so I suppose it's meat. Also, maltesers and pringles are both VERY addictive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

Food/drink... I guess coffee.

Other than that, I'm sorry but I'll have to make some of you cringe and say mwl1. I don't know where I'd be without him (in fact, I don't think I would even *be*). He is the most loving, supportive person I have ever met and to give him up... well, it doesn't bear thinking about. Goodness knows how he's put up with me over the last while but I'm glad he has done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

But yes - coffee! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

*heaves sigh of relief*

no cringe - I think we'd have been puzzled if you'd not said that!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

oh! I've thought of something else I'd find hard to give up ...

hot baths.

If you'd asked me a few years' ago then I would probably have said my bike as I cycled everywhere. Unfortunately, after a bad accident I HAD to give it up - have just about come to terms with it now so anything is possible!

Food wise: cheese, wine and tea would be difficult for me.

Obsessions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I love being in love with things (not people - I'm not a bunny boiler!)

At the moment it's Dirty Dancing. I have a nightie and eye mask and wash bag on that theme, that came in a set with the DVD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Yes, coffee. Real[i] coffee of course.


Is there any other kind? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)







... oh yes, the jars of freeze-dried gerbil droppings... eaughhh... if that's real coffee then Kn*ck*erbocker Glories are all full of pants! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party1.gif)
