Life necessities, to me personally, are the following:
My children, I have three young girls, aged eight, six and five years old. Although they are completely mad, argue and fight all of the time, I love them dearly and could not be without them.
My girlfriend, we have our ups and downs, as do most couples in a relationship but she has been my light, guiding me through some very dark stages of my life and can always cheer me up when all seems hopeless.
Then next I would say a house is an absolute necessity, as I need somewhere to live with my family.
Heating and electricity are of utmost importance, need to keep warm, cook meals, have hot water for baths, and need electricity to fuel my pc to be writing on this site!
A job, obviously to make money to enable me to live, and to feed and clothe myself and my children, but also to keep my brain and body active and to stop me dying of complete boredom.
Family, my mum and dad have been absolutely amazing throughout my life, helping me in anyway they possibly can, whether it's money, support, babysitting, advice, company or just a chat. They have never once let me down and have always put myself and my children before anything else.
Other important necessities to me are:
Sex, which is an important aspect of my life. It enables me to achieve complete closeness with my partner, keeps me feeling young and energetic, and just feels really great!
Makeup, yes shallow, I know, but I like to believe that I look good and know that I'm not likely to make people run away, screaming when they see me!
Chocolate and cake! I know it's bad for me but everything's okay in moderation! (That's what I keep telling myself anyway!).
The Internet, as to be honest, I can't actually remember what I used to do before I started using the internet, it plays a very big part of my life enabling me to buy groceries, clothing and other goods from the comfort of my own home without getting arm ache from dragging large shopping bags around in freezing cold or rainy weather conditions.
It allows me to connect with friends on sites such as Facebook, which also has many fun time wasting games. Also, I do a lot of research using the internet for my Psychology Degree, and also lets me write articles for a number of sites.
