What is your 'guilty' buying secret? Stuff you pay far too much for, but an't help it...

[merciasounds]

Believe it or not, mine is food! I've been to a big Asian supermarket this morning and spent a fortune...on nori, dimsum wraps, spring roll wraps, wasabi, various Chinese pastes, rice wines, vinegars (for cooking) seasonings, seeds and spices, fresh and dried, various noodles and rices, soy sauce, fermented black beans, yellow beans...nam pla, sesame oil, kaffir lime leaves, holy basil, fresh coriander, palm sugar, raw prawn crackers, lychees, rice flour, chick pea flour, and uncooked poppadoms. it will last me months and makes dishes more authentic, so worth it in my book .

Food and wine.
Books.
Flowers - for the house & the garden.

The guilt is only miniscule though ;-)

[ummmm]

Mine is also food.

Books for me. Whenever payday comes around I'm off to Amazon, Play, Waterstones etc whether I need new ones or not. I'll get round to reading them all one day, honest.

my bl**dy old banger of a car! Not that I WANT to spend it on the car mind, I could spend it down the pub...or on those various beer offers those nice people at Morrisons have. Or beef (which I can only have one a fortnight because it's bad for my cholesterol so the missus tells me - personally I think it's all the pups nuts, especially when I spy the White Arrow van leaving the house and see her wearing yet another new blouse!

Toys and clothes for my kids. I am soooo guilty of buying them sh1te they don't need.

Son: "Dad can I have Supermegabombmariosonic for my Playstation 2"
Me: "Sorry son, they don't do it on the PS2. However they have got it on the Wii, so lets go and buy you one of those, as well as the game, instead"

Eldest Daughter: "Daddy, can I please please please please have that new top in Next Loogap. It's only £1.3million. It's made by Miley Montanna. Please please?"
Me: "Ok darling, but your gonna need trousers, shoes, a coat and a hat to go with it. Oh and a nice handbag"

Youngest Daughter: "Daddy, I want a pony"
Me: "Ok princess. We best get two ponies, so they don't get lonely. Oh and we're gonna need a field, and a stable. Oh, we're gonna need some country types to look after them as well"

Bank Manager: "Mr Bobjugs, you are aware that you are more overdrawn than the nation of Greece"
Me: "Oh dear. Will you accept a kidney as payment, or can I sell myself into slavery for the bank and work off my debt that way?"
