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?

Nothing I don’t think because everything costs money and I don’t have any lol

Alcohol, sweets, coffee and exercising! Try to have 3 alcohol free days a week. Can’t restrict everything I love though!

Coffee! And efforts to stop myself ageing!

Cool Doritos and any crisp!!!
I can’t eat a sandwich without having a bag on the side.
Hobnobs are my favourite biscuit and Crawford cheddars - but I avoid them as I have no self control.
I also love Tea - 2 in the morning before work and I always have one at bedtime no matter where I’ve been with lots in between.

My vice is buying special offers when shopping.
I don’t think I need to worry about stockpiling for Brexit as cupboards pretty full.
Family all get annoyed because my cupboards are so full, but I just say that I buy things when they are on offer so think I’m a pretty savvy shopper. I will eat all 19 boxes of cereal I have stored in my cupboard (they were after all genuinely less than half price)!

waxonfeckoff. I’m not sure if I’ve told you before, or just thought about telling you, but your user name makes me smile every time I see it 😊

but I get sick of how I mentally redecorated it the last time so I need to mentally do it again. 🤣😂. You’re bonkers and I love it.

Specialty cakes. I ordered one from a bakery in Knaphill for DS and DD’s first birthday via the Internet and it was not what I expected. Last year I went and bought a cake from a local cake shop instead of over the Internet. I love specialty cakes and sandwiches too. I love looking at specialty things in the shops and garden centres as well. Specialty wines are also appealing.

Cheese
Chocolate
Cups of Tea (I do have decaf)
Not wanting to get up when alarm goes and staying in bed for extra 10 mins then having to rush.

Salt
Diet Coke
Buying kids clothes (so much more fun and cheaper in theory than adult clothes).

pineapplebryanbrown · 06/02/2019 23:32

I'm addicted to Jack Russells too, I have two of them and am forcing myself not to get a third. However, every one I see in the street I size them up thinking about their fine haunches and the height of their withers.
