What are the life's precious necessities that you will not compromise on when it comes to 'homestyle' comfort and quality?
For me it's a decent set of towels and linen.
This is not sex related (but it can be). |

Decent aftershave and shower gel (not high street crap), vintage champagne only, speyside whisky 18year minimum. And finally clothes, I find the cheap stuff just disintegrates after a couple of washes, the best T-shirts I’ve bought so far come from orlebar brown. |

Good butter.
Decent bedding.
I'm trying to think of something not mentioned.
Oh sparkling water! Yes. Definite difference. And wine.

Good well designed mugs I can hold properly
Fairy liquid - tried loads of others and they just don’t cut it
Shower gel - thanks to bloomin allergies but also the one I buy is easy to use when wet and I’m not dropping it on my foot in the shower! |

Oh god, so much!
Bedding - high thread count and feathers. Mattress itself is Tempur.
Kitchen stuff has to be Kitchenaid/Smeg/Brabantia
Headphones (Bose)
I will live off of cheap noodles so my animals have top quality raw food/Insurance.
I could go on! My main idea is to have items of quality that will LAST. I would rather buy one expensive item than 15 inexpensive items that end up in landfill. |

Unfortunately, I can't afford to be too particular about things. I'd rather save up and buy something that will last, but that's not always an option, especially now. |

Decent ground Arabica coffee, 3 ply toilet roll (preferably with Aloe Vera), good butter, only proper Sour Dough bread in U.K. or decent French bread, mayonnaise not salad cream, salad has to have dressing on it.
And also - exceptionally good sex  |

Unfortunately, due to the current economic climate I can only afford mediocre sex.
And besides - being puritannical is a bonus. |

Holidays!
Don't do anything less than a 4 star (although the star system is of questionable accuracy), but having ended up in a few grot holes then experienced the opposite- i'm paying extra for the quality room, service and surroundings (and preferably lack of any children whenever possible) |

Sex is always better when you don’t pay for it and it is freely given . Quite like to try some Puritan sex though if he’s a serious no nonsense Dom type |

With regards to 'high thread count', be aware that it might mean softer than 'normal' quality but doesn't mean 'good' quality in the way the industry is marketing it. Likewise with the "Egyptian cotton" label.
Instead, you might consider it worthwhile looking at 'single ply, long-staple cotton' of about 300 thread count for truly soft, high quality sheets that aren't too heavy and an 'Organic Egyptian cotton' certification for authentic classic Egyptian cotton, grown and harvested in the traditional methods that made this cotton legendary. |

Thats just whisky snobbery. There are plenty of younger whiskies that knock the spots off the older ones. The bunnahabhain 12 is an excellent example. Age doesn't guarantee superiority. |
