Mine is shoes. I cannot walk past a shoe shop with beautiful high heels in the window, without going in, trying them on and if I've got it, spending money. Show me a bit of glitter and I'm putty in the store owners hands. Shoes, High one's, low one's  F.M ones. Love em. What's your weakness, in the shopping area.

Second-hand books. If you see a small, badly-wired robot leaving a charity shop with a wheelbarrow full of books, it's probably me.

I love the smell of old bookshops, Do you like books on any  particular subject, or any books?

What is it with women and shoes?

I don't know, I wish I did, it would save me a fortune.

Yes - I too like the smell of old books.

I buy mostly classic literature, especially that by French & Russian authors.

I buy chess books second hand if they're not outrageously priced; but they usually are. Frown

I am definitely a book addict. History mostly, some classic lit. And like the bookish robot here, I'll buy chess books if they are good and cheap. So far I have bought 2...

I like books, but I've had no time to read really.

My weakness is definitely video games. Argh, there's so many good ones coming out this holiday season, and I can't get them all!

Hmm.. haven't spotted the term 'music' even once! That's definitely my weakness.. But I can't always buy CD's, tragically God chose to begift me rather with brilliancy than money, or is that a good thing? I can't make up my mind.. Wink

 books numero uno, pc games secundo. books are usually cheaper than pc games,so i have considerably more books than pc games. fantasy,murder mysteries(agatha christie,rex stout for example),some sci-fi. I believe i would have to be rich to get all the pc games coming out now, however i must be selective and pick the ones with the most playability.

One weakness is chess books.  Another is going on Amazon and buying all sorts of CDs.

 I wish I could afford to list "cars, computers, gadgets, TVs, etc" as shopping weaknesses...
