ok so we all know about addictions, but what about the harmless ones we have.....we hear of people being addicted to gambling, drink, drugs, but what about the not so harmfull addictions, the ones you enjoy,,,,

Me i am addicted to coca-cola, drink it by the can,i also love smarties, 2 tubes go down a treat....

so what non harmful addiction do you have....

Coke could be a harmful addiction....diabetes! In fact I'd say it's more harmful than gambling...! :D

I'm addicted to shopping!

Maybe so, but its alot cheaper...Its the caffeine thats the addiction, but the taste is so sweet when it is fresh from the fridge......

If you are addicted to shopping my friend, you are the first male that i know who loves it...This may be hard to take in but i hate shopping, being a woman i am supposed to love going around the shops but i have to get in and out as quick as i can.....drives me mad when a shop is full of people and you cant move.......I prefer to go to tescos for our shopping late at night when theres less people....Infact online shopping suits me.....

Was going to suggest you open a shoe shop...

Until I realised you'd do nothing but sit and kiss all the shoes all day. Hehe!

So how many pairs do you have thumper..post some pics of all your shoes! :P

Thumper
18-Mar-08, 14:49
Hey Rob,at the moment I have about 86 pairs...I think!:o I stopped counting at 80 and then I had a clear out and got rid of some BUT then I bought more...daft thing is I wear the same ones over and over again so most of them have had one wear if they are lucky!Infact I wore a pair on sat nite that I bought a year ago and that was the first time I had them on :roll: x

Sapphire2803
18-Mar-08, 14:54
I would have to admit to shoes being an addiction, luckily I don't have enough money to buy as many pairs as I would like, our house is only small, we'd be overrun. I tend to eBay for shoes these days, I have some pretty outrageous ones. Come on Thumper, post us a pic of your most outrageous shoes. If you're anything like me, you probably have some that (if you're honest) you'll never wear in public.
Apart from that, The tesco version of redbull, diet with cranberry. Salt and vinegar pringles, the rice ones.
Make up and beauty products, I have boxes of the stuff, in a lot of cases, unopened.

I used to eat one or two a workday from the vending machine downstairs. This was when I worked in U of Edinburgh. Mind you I had a commute of 5 hilly miles each way on a bike, so I burned off the calories no trouble.
