What's your weakness?

I'm a fairly well balanced person..money conscious, 4 kids, ticking by etc...
But my weakness is cars. Not fancy new ones (never had a new one) but I get bored with mine and like to change them regularly. I've had ridculous cars.. usually tiny, sporty and utterly impractical and old . I've finally got a relatively young one, (still impractical as it's a Smart for two) but now I've seen an old tiny sports car I fancy and I just know I'm going to trade my reliable car for something old and unreliable because I want it!
Some people need handbags, or shoes , or holidays. I just seem to need shiny metal that craps out on me regularly!

Make me feel better... what is your weak spot!?

I’m with you with the cars. I love talking about them, looking at them, dreaming of what I will get next. The lads laugh at me at work because I change mine so often. ‘It must be Friday Iwant has got a new car’ . Like you, mine are never new. I see one I like, buy it then start planning the next. Not as bad now as I used to be though. I think I need to work in a car showroom.

Nail varnish, I got rid of about 40 last year and have probably got as many again now. Also books from charity shops.

Cars I keep. I've only had two in the last 20 years. I just want something that's economical, practical and reliable, other than that they don't interest me at all, even though I enjoy driving.

Make up, I love looking it at, buying it, playing with it, wearing it, etc. It's a huge addiction hobby of mine!
Chocolate and hot chocolate, I need my fix every day!

Living in London. We'd be so much better off if dp and I had wanted to move elsewhere.

Fabric, so much fabric...

And cut glass from charity shops, I've got three cupboards of the stuff, I love it.
