what are you addicted to buying...

[carole]

well for me it has to be scarves, i just cannot go past them, i make a B line for them in every shop, i have around 25 or so now, mind you they are not expensive to buy, they look good and they keep you warm,so i reckon not too bad an addiction to have .

I also have now been buying what i call junk jewellery,up until about two years ago i have had a severe allergy to all metals except gold and silver, it actually started when i bought a whole heap of junk jewellery from the USA back with me from my trip, i figured in those days they were full of nickel and i was allergic, i tried everything, hypoallergenic ,putting nail polish on the earing studs, you name it, however something in my body has changed and i can now wear it, and i am loving it,so many pretty and cheap things out there that look nice.i still like my good jewellery,but only have a few good pieces.


We also have what we call grabadeals,yazoom,daily deals and many more online that offer really great bargains, must say bit addicted to them as well,but i have managed to get some really good deals, a lovely microfibre duvet inner for 40 dollars that was orginally 149, and i have found nothing to compare as good as mine yet,so all good.

Ok i have confessed my sins, how about your's, i am sure it will make very interesting and maybe amusing reading.

I have waaaayyy too many eyeglasses.

I also have 5 containers worth of beads to make necklaces. I simply can't resist popping into the craft store and buying one or two strands of beads.

I retired back in 1999. For about a year before I did it, I started stacking up the books - the ones I wanted to have once my time was all my own So my pile consisted of about 45 books. One year later, the stack had increased to 60+. Seems for every book I read, I bought 2 replacements.

Yes, I checked out my local library - it's lovely, but doesn't always have what I want - when I want. I refuse to be on a list, and they call one day and say I have 2 weeks to read a particular book. I want to read, what I want, when I want.

I have some I've read more than once - some I've read more than 5 times - and one I've read over 10 times.

I have an iPad, but I don't read books on it. I want to hold the book in my hand, feel the pages, smell the smell. And if I drop it, it doesn't break.

I'm an eclectic reader - history, sports, current events, medical stuff, mysteries. Not much fiction - have been reading for so many years that most of the plot lines are old hat.
