Ok, now, i didnt realise until earlier this week that coming in at a close second to my shoes obsession that everyone knows about is my bracelet obsession! I literally have hundreds..even a drawer in a chest of drawers dedicated to them (yes theres a willy straw chucked in for good measure)


This isnt even all of them, the proper jewellery bracelets are in my actual jewelly box, theres another 12 or so i guess! Thing is, i Do wear them all, sometimes il chuck on 4 or 5 random ones just cos i dont want to leave any out! Today i have the wide pink one at the top of the pic and on the other arm my charm bracelet...mis matched much!?

So, any one else have a non obvious obession? be it food, drink, clothes, shoes, tv whatever...come on, fess up!!

    You've reminded me of my eggcups... I decided a few years back to collect eggcups from everywhere I go on holiday as it's more of a challenge to find than some other things!! I have 4 so far!

    I could easily have more, I always seem to find space for just another little one. ( the last "little" one was 6ft tall ? )

    It's a bog standard girl one: Handbags. I don't know how many I have, I recently took 14 to the charity shop, which didn't even scrape the surface, and some I didn't remember buying. If my friends and family have a special occassion coming up - they don't buy a handbag to match their outfit - they visit my 'shop' to borrow one! In recent wedding pictures, my aunt, two cousins and mum all had my handbags with them!

    Other than that - ribbon. I use it in the crafts I make, but will tie it round anything I can think of and I have a massive collection of reels.

    Excuse my ignorance but what is a flesh plug?

    I wish I had an obsession, I'm always on the look out for one but I lose interest and move onto something else too quickly to build up a really good one

    I have far too many clothes, hardly any of which I wear.

    I have lots of shoes all of which I love and they all get a wear every now and then.

    I eat too much food because I really like it.

    When not preggers i drink too much Cava.

    If you include my phone, i currently own 7 cameras. Is that too many?

    But... my current obsession is with Twix Bars. I have a big bag of them in my filing cabinet at work. ?

    My name is celticgoddess and for the last 27 years I've been obsessed with a-ha. Travelled all over Europe, met them numerous times. Have so much memorabilia that I have to keep it in boxes in the garage as I have no room for it all. Morten Harket tried to entice me back to his hotel after a gig in Glasgow, (this is the truth, not a fantasy!). Took my H2B to their last Glasgow gig in November 2010, I cried the whole time cos I knew id never see them live ever again. My heart was broken! That band's music has got me through lot of tough times. It took me 6 months to watch their final ever gig in Oslo (DVD) as I was just too upset! Sorry, I'll get me coat now!

    NICHE79!

    I NEED THOSE SHOES!

    I also have a minor shoe obsession. Would love to have a KG shoes obsession but can't afford it and so far have only 4 pairs. I could buy them all though! I also have an obsession with buying nail varnish. I have 2 shoe boxes full.

    Get thee to your nearest John Lewis !!! Funnily enough they are Carvela so would help with your KG obsession nicely ! They were supposed to be £85 but my mum gets discount at John Lewis so I was going to pay £64, however they are currently running a price match on Carvela so they are only £59, which meant I got them for £44, bargain !!

    No, not at all.

    You are meant to stretch them slowly, so you feel a slight tingle, but no pain. If it hurts, you're doing it too fast.

    If it's rushed, it can really mess up your lobe. (even more messed up than having a massive hole through it ?)

    Benefit make up. I have a few things unopened and 2 benefit make up bags in which only benefit is allowed, organised perfectly. The pencils in the little pencil holders etc. (My make up bag which I actually use every day is just a boots one with all kinds of different brands just thrown in) I also have about 7 pallets/ sets. I get it off everyone for every birthday and Christmas and as I only use it for best its started to become a bit of a collection. I like getting it all out and looking at it. I love the pretty boxes! Weirdo?? H says I'm not allowed anymore till I start using it all up. He has a point.
