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?

And tinned tomato. Have more than we could need for a year.

I'm an ebay addict. Mainly clothes and shoes.

Mine isn't an item, it's a shop - Home Bargains.

My nearest shop is quite far away, so I only get to go every 4-8 weeks and so have to hoard.

Ooh I love home bargains! Great for birthday cards, craft stuff, toiletries... Never know what you will find there.

Damn you lot!
Ve just been to Tesco for a couple of bits and come home with 4 shower gels and 3 bottles of shampoo. Fortunately they've moved the make up so I forgot I wanted to check out new nail varnish colours

Bookbub and Book Hippo Club books and Kindle daily deals
Yarn- my yarn stash is embarrassingly large and so is my cross stitch kit selection.
Workout leggings, tops and sports bras sometimes from Brand Alley but mostly Zulily.

Travel books. Even if I'll probably never visit the place, I still want the book.

Lipstick, notebooks and fancy pens. I cannot walk past Boots or Superdrug or Wilkos without going in the look at make-up, The Works has had a fortune off me because I keep buying notebooks (spiral bound and hardback, although I do use them for writing my story and writing lists.) I love pretty pens, although they're more reasonable as Wilkos and Poundland have some nice pens.
Anything Pusheen or Harry Potter related, I will buy it. Poundland had HP stuff over Xmas and I filled my boots. I love Primark because they sell loads of Pusheen and HP stuff too...

I'm off to Home Bargains today. I report back on the crap I end up coming out with.

I have quite a collection of sleeping masks; I love the cute ones from Claire's Accessories. As well as helping me sleep better, they're useful for making sure I can't see my birthday presents being wrapped in front of me.

(My DH often teases me about how many I have; he'll make me close my eyes, then he'll put one of my masks on me. Can I work out which one it is? Usually not, even though it's right in front of my eyes! I'm sure he'll find a good reason to make me wear one on 1st April.)

Handbags, shoes, clothing, make up.

Used to love buying books but have got out of the habit.

This year is going to be the year of a regular gel nails and lash extension habit. Neither of which are necessary, but I like to look put together and I can’t be bothered with doing those things myself.

Bedding, towels storage boxes/baskets, tea lights/candles, pretty sandals in every conceivable colour, high heel shoes even though I can barely walk in them anymore & jackets love love a jacket.

SrSteveOskowski · 30/03/2019 14:42

Less what, more where. I can't be trusted to be left alone in Primark. I will NEVER come out empty handed.

MaudesMum · 30/03/2019 18:13

Plants.

Pots
Garden stuff generally
