a vice. Mine used to be the booze,but I knocked that on the head when I found myself drinking up to two bottles of wine a night. Now it's shopping. I just love to shop,be it for food,stuff for the kids,make-up,clothes,shoes,household goods or anything else. I just get a buzz out of it. What's your vice? Is it something you worry could get out of hand, or do you see it as a simple pleasure that you deserve even if it might be bad for you and/or your bank balance?

Exercise Blush.

I've been working on losing weight for about a year (4st down), so have had to untrain myself from my old friends alcohol and food. I don't even drink much caffeine because it interferes with sleep.

Never smoked, and am in that awkward phase of weightloss where I'm between sizes so shopping is out until I'm stable.

So exercise is my go to entertainment, enjoyment and I get annoyed if I can't. But it does allow me to keep in touch with my old friend Way Too Much Chinese Food.

Shopping for the cats and cat themed things for me

Justaregularmum · 06/02/2019 18:07

Shopping here too... especially kids clothes and shoes.. both my LO have at least 7 coats each .. I know they don’t need them but at least they have a coat for every situation.. light rain/shower, school x3, winter, snow, and casual... 🙈🙈 and trainers I seem to buy and they don’t fit my DS feet as he has wide feet and I never get round to taking them back... hoping they will fit my youngest eventually!
