I paid using my Debit card because it is a Visa delta and they work on American websites which only understand credit cards. I guess the other sort doesn't have a handy get around if it's not on the list.
On essentials, only the computer really but that's because I work on one and apply for jobs on one and communicate with England on one. Dishwashers reduced household arguments about washing up by about half i'd say but don't eliminate them thanks to the non-stick contingent :-)
Not having a tumble dryer just requires planning and a landline I only ever really think of for emergencies when some reason the mobile network is down. It does make ADSL possible though. TV I couldn't care less, I might occasionally miss a console only game but that's hardly an essential. I have an MP3 player but it really isn't an essential.

I sound pretty much like everyone else really :-)
