Okay, it all started last night when I could not find my candle snuffer. Must have got lost in one of my many moves. Seeing as those things are sooo expensive, what better place to shop for a bargain than ebay, right? Wrong. I cannot walk into the grocery store for shampoo without walking out with 37 other things, let alone enter a domain that has anything and everything your heart desires without spending hour upon hour and Paypal dollar after dollar and so on and so forth.


So, I found the snuffer I wanted and placed my bid (ends in less than an hour - I'm still high bidder so far). Then, I went looking around at other things. Garden Goddess statues, celestial mirrors, dragons (paintings, statues, etc), snow globes, nesting dolls, painted cloths, dark gothic art, jewlery, and many many other things.


I bid on several items, fortunately being immediately outbid by other proxy bidders on most of them. But I am now high bidder on a print that ends in two days and an oil painting that ends in 5 days. Yes - I would love to have both, but gawd

Hey Beth, no joke I think there is a real group for shopaholics.
I know what you mean about e-bay. I think it is not only the shopping, but now you have added the "I need to win" factor in to it. LOL.
Maybe you will build up a good reputation so you can go back and sell some things too.
You crack me up!

Beth,

At least with your shopping you have a chance to be knocked out by another bid. My shopping addiction is shoes!!! I love shoes and lingerie!!! I have so many shoes I could wear a pair a day and go months without wearing a pair I already wore. And lingerie I have bag's (the big trash bags for your yard work). I have about five underwear drawers full of it - not mention some hanging n my closet.

So here I go - Hello my name is Angel and I have a shopping addiction.

If you find any place to help me out to put a stop to my shopping be sure you let me know!!!! But remember with addiction problems you get to have steps - so I not expected to go straight cold turkey on shopping:)!

LOL,
Angel
