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?

Eating out .
If we go for a day out I’m more excited about where we’ll eat than the actual place we’re visiting . Blush

Same as on MN, oops!

GlitterStick · 05/02/2019 20:31

Just read that back! Pistachio nuts, that is, although I suppose the wine applies to that sentence too Grin

Food. Booze a bit but mostly food. Also the occasional fag.

PrismGuile · 05/02/2019 20:35

Specific food vice: Wasabi Sushi (I must spend ££££ on this) and cheap chocolate flapjacks (the type full of oils and 500calories)

Candy Crush and bed linen - the thread count gets higher every time I buy some , 500 just doesn't cut it any more .

SwimmingKaren · 05/02/2019 20:42

Red bull. And sun beds. I’m ashamed of both so would never tell. Apart from this I’m a paradigm of virtue. Grin

Mercedes519 · 05/02/2019 20:43

Am jealous of the PPs who hold grudges. I really WANT to but then can't be bothered...

Apathy is definitely my vice!
And chocolate. Never without it...

HundredMilesAnHour · 05/02/2019 20:47

Jewellery. Shoes. Bags. Coats. Especially coats. Business class flights. Coffee.

My job was cut in December so I've had to give all of the above up apart from coffee. It's grim.

FlagFish · 05/02/2019 20:49

Mine is crisps.

But I honestly can't think of any that my DH has!

Rufus27 · 05/02/2019 20:53

Oh god I never thought of the stationery Rufus27. Blush

Any excuse and I'm buying some.

And books I guess. More than I can sensibly read.
