    Mine's got to be junk food, I can't seem to go to the local shop without buying a bottle of pop, bag of crisps and a bar/bag of chocolate.

    It's a compulsion, I can't seem to stop it!!


    me too. I am addicted to crisps, Im sure!

    Books for me, too. Now I'm retired, though, I only buy online when free postage available, buy from library when selling off, or buy when charity shops are having a sell-off.:D :p

    :mad: I spend far too much on Diet Coke - I hate it but I am completely addicted. I can easily drink 8 litres a day :eek: Apart from the gunk wrecking my stomach and kidneys, I hate how much I spend on the stuff. It is not just caffeine - try googling aspartame some time.

    I really hate paying for the stuff that is destroying my teeth, my stomach, my kidneys, my bank balance...

    But who takes addiction to diet coke seriously?

    Aaarghhh!
    Always another chapter

    8 litres - J H Christ! (scuse language!) :eek:

    Do you really hate it or hate the addiction? Is it the fizziness or the actual taste? I buy a lot of cans but have stopped buying 2 litre bottles for home. I know how hard it is.

    magazines

    I do subscribe when they are on offer but I still buy loads.

    I am going to go cold turkey this month now (pay day today) apart from those that come through my letter box.
