I have to confess that I love bookshops too, so much so that I worked in one whilst I was at uni.........it was the best job ever.......staff got unlimited free drinks from the cafe, and when it was quiet you could just find a quiet corner and take your pick of over 1 million books too read........bliss absolute bliss........ :happy: :happy: :happy:

:worship: :worship: :inlove: :worship: :inlove: :inlove:
that is heaven.

Junk TV........ when flicking through the TV guide on Sky, I'm drawn to programmes with great titles like:
Dog Borstall
When animals attack
Hobo wars
Also Classic Bullseye is one I find hard to skip by......... plus I love Saturday night trashy programmes like X factor and the lottery quiz (the one with Dale Winton was ace)

You really DO need to get out more rolleyes

I'd love to get out more..............that's why I'm here but at the moment I seem to watching more trash TV than less, if you get my drift. wink

Books!
I have to have books. If I don't have a stash of at least a dozen waiting to be read I get twitchy.
I can't part with them either. The loft is full, the spare bedroom is full, the bookcases are starting to be doubled up.
It's getting to the stage where the other half rugby tackles me to the floor if he sees me heading for a book shop

Worse than bookshops is "The Bookpeople" . It's full of bargains, wonderful box sets of stuff. I bought these for for Â£9-99 each.
Complete Sherlock Holmes
Complete James Bond
I know their just sit there on the shelf and I'll read one maybe two of them and then get something else.
Still I mastered the charity shop run so the Keeno Towers library isn't completely overrun.

My name is Sassy and I'm a clothesaholic redface

I have triple and double wardrobes, both full to bursting. At the last count I had 23 bras, about 50 pairs of knickers, 24 skirts of varying lengths, 25 coats and jackets ranging from my bike leathers and casual jackets to smart evening coats, a full length leather and a full length velvet coat, 5 pairs of boots, lost count of the shoes. I have to store away my summer stuff in autumn as I can't fit summer and winter wear in the drawers ( all 12 of them surprised

ops: ) at the same time. My undies take up 4 drawers and my socks have a drawer of their own ( full )
:oops:

similar to the above but I cant decide wether to replace 'leather' with 'chips with vinegar' or 'pussy'

I confess, I confess to being a third one! Mmmmmmm.... fresh paper! And little packets of things that would be ever so useful if ever you could find them under the piles of new acquisitions....
And I do have a penchant for old crumbly industrial architecture too - but I don't tend to acquire that, except on camera.
