Went to boots today for some toothpaste and came out with 3 shower gels, all new scents. I have this obsession where I have to buy any new shower gels, so I now have 13 shower gels in my cupboard just because. There was even another one I saw on the way out but had to rush so will get it tomorrow.
Anyone else got crazy obsession?

Hair heat protection spray 🤔
Nail varnish

LikeACowsOpinion · 25/03/2019 15:29

Make-Up
Fabric Conditioner (My cupboard is full of the stuff.)

Notebooks. Particularly spiral-bound ones with lovely hard covers. I've a gazillion of them but always make notes on scraps of old envelopes to not ruin the notebook. Blush

@bearsofair
I actually have a bag of new socks in my wardrobe, if I get a hole in a pair I bin em and get a new pair out, so whenever I’m out and see nice socks I buy them. 😂 shower gels are the worst for me though 😂

Storage. I'm obsessed with having enough organised storage in my home. Boxes, baskets, shelving units etc.

likeacows I bought a fabric conditioner last week by a brand called KINN living. It smells beautiful in the bottle, cost a fiver and is absolutely crap. No fragrance at all. I used about 4x the amount and it left the faintest scent. Crap. Ds sniffs the washing when I’m heading for the line Grin his favourite is the Method coconut one.

Yes to Kindle

@icelollycraving I have a few favourites at the minute! Comfort Fresh Sky Intense - fill the draw to capacity and the washing smells amazing. Last for ages too!! Same with the light blue Lenor 'perfume' one - I think it's called dazzle.

I love my fabric conditioners Grin

Random useless kitchen items and utensils that clutter up your counters. I bought two wine glasses today because they were mermaid themed. I don't like or drink wine, nobody in the house does. Oh well, they can move in with the wire chicken and holographic biscuit barell that I have no room for. I dream of a breadmaker that I know I'll never use, don't know where I would put it though!

saganorenscarandcoat · 27/03/2019 16:24

Fabric and wool even though I'm crap at making stuff out of what I buy 😁

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 27/03/2019 16:48

Lipsticks
Soap
Fabric conditioner
Notebooks
Tuna (don't ask, but we currently have 18 tins and eat it approximately once a month...)

RedRiverShore · 27/03/2019 16:51

socks, you can never have too many pairs

Ronsters · 27/03/2019 16:55

Gardening stuff/plants. I got a pack of ranunculus in Morrison's today. Can never resist.

Somuchroom · 27/03/2019 16:57

Green tea Blush i especially like the ones in the silky bags...

AngeloMysterioso · 27/03/2019 17:06

Pocketbacs from Bath & Body Works. I have probably about 20 holders and god knows how many gels.

TeddyIsaHe · 27/03/2019 17:12

Fabric conditioner here too. I get twitchy if I’m down to two bottles. I hate doing laundry so no idea why.

Eyebrow products! I have at last count 15 different items and just bought another one this morning. Why.

Ineedanewmil · 27/03/2019 17:16

Storage boxes and cooking books (especially when 5 pounds or less at the works shop)

PositivelyPeach · 27/03/2019 17:16

Scented candles. Sat on the sofa I count 32 that I can see Blush

Need to stop!

labazsisgoingmad · 27/03/2019 17:18

notebooks; shower gels; candles

ZeroFuchsGiven · 27/03/2019 17:19

Green tea and sex toys.

tierraJ · 27/03/2019 17:19

Books!! Especially ww2

WineGummyBear · 27/03/2019 17:23

I used to have a big notebook habit but I kicked it years ago...

This thread has made me want to invest in a few nice pens.

junebirthdaygirl · 27/03/2019 17:25

Pencils. I like all bright colours and must have an eraser on top. I do a lot of giant sudoko and only use a sharp pointed pencil. I hate a worn out one. In case l run out l constantly buy new ones.

thenightsky · 27/03/2019 17:25

Scented candles
Cotton knickers - finding comfy ones is like a search for the holy grail.
Cheap shoes (F&F or Primark)

Also, like a PP - tins of tuna.
