Bought a new bike on the weekend Kept telling myself not to for 2 whole weeks but just could not get it out of my mind so nearly £600 later its at home in the garage. Some times it seems destiny is writen for you and theres no other path to take even though its the wrong one. Any way glad it offf my mind but sad about the money and yet another hobby that will be shelved in weeks to come.

I'm exactly the same with cake tins. I get it into my mind that I have to have them but the pattern is always the same. Receive them in the post, a few hours of marvelling at them then in the cupboard they go.

I am still mad about making cakes just as OH is still obsessed with bikes (currently now up to 8 plus assorted frames plus my 2 underused ones.) The difference is that I buy all these tins but usually just stick to tried and tested ones.
Plenty of other one-minute wonders in my history. Like my massage couch - top of the range - and makes a v nice spare bed for when space is pushed.
Nick101 - re the £600 bike - is there any chance that guilt might make you make some use of the bike. What grand plan did you have in mind when you bought it?

In the odl days I used to find exercise so addictive. I used to run.. which seems totally unbelievable even to me, when I find myself hauling my carcase up the stairs and creaking out of bed in the morning.
I have been standing on my Wii Fit board .. also done some of the aerobic exercises.. but alwasy start off with the balance games... so not exactly burning the pounds away.. excess energy is not my problem!

LMAO, its always a good start tho Mouse. If excess energy aint your problem, exercise will still energise you a little through the release of adrenalin. It also helps with sleeping and eating if you have a problem there. Its generally good for your health no matter who you are anyway.

well feeling v guilty because I bought some cake tins today ... oooh... so am going to step on my Wii right now and exercise that guilt away. My adrenalin kick comes from the bidding process. I get so hooked on it that I know that if I wasn't also as tight as fish's backside with money I'd be frittering even more money away I'd be bidding away at anything.
just watched that weird al y. video... and the glow has gone off those cake tins

Hi mouse, do you love being the highest bidder?... ;D
What kind of cake tins do you buy?... is it always the same ranges/designers you go for?
-Do you sell them on, or just collect them?
I'm really interested in collectables, but nothing ever holds my interest for long enough to actually get a 'collection'
I've got the start of a few collections in my house. -Like the time I discovered an old, early 1960's copy of Playboy magazine in perfect condition. I loved the art work, the mens fashion advice, read the article on how to mix a perfect martini, and i thought to myself...
"I know what, i'll start a collection..." -6 years later, and it's still the only copy I own!
-The problem with that is... owning 80 copies makes you look like a collector... owning 1 copy just makes you look like a pervert!!! ;D

I call it my collection... because I do open the cupboard and just look at them all stacked there.. then I close it real quick when the guilt starts nibbling.
I either buy shaped heavy duty cake tins like the Invicta range (which is now v much reduced in terms of the different styles available) or more domestic ranges eg like Master Class range of sandwich tins - at one point I became fixated with acquiring each size x 2 - or 4 (to make best use of oven space). You see, now I have given too much info in response to a polite enquiry.
Re only having one Playboy magazine... if you had a Monet original on your wall would you feel less of a collector because you didn't have 80 of them? You treasure your magazine!!LOL
and its the thrill of the will I or won't I win it? Will the sniper be sniped??

HAHAHA. cheers mouse, i'll treasure it from now on! ;D
i've just looked up some images of invicta/masterclass cake tins, and i must say...
i was picturing those big colourful tins with lids that you store cakes in to take to the local WI, -but you collect the ones that you put in the oven that are a bit like jelly moulds for cakes...
do you ever bake with them or do they just haunt your cupboard making you feel guilty? ;D

Mostly they 'guiltise' me but now I've jsut bought an extra large oval one to finish off oval cake tin collection. I think I will go barmy and create a fantastic cake creation and take it into work... now that's the plan but expect in true ADHD style something much more modest will result.
I am on holiday this week - not going away as having some work done here - so am going to take opportunity to bake and do an inventory of my tins. As well as some serious housework.

Is it that impulse purchases give you a little dopamine kick (reward boost feeling of happiness)?
Some members of my family and I are usually far more excited about things arriving in the post than actually using them......
Well, it must be the same as shopping therapy, right.....

Instant gratification i love it only problem is i am a stinge bag so i find myself in poundland alot or home and braingain buying plastic crap that falls apart before i get home. I have a lead for everything even a cigaret lighter extention that will convert to a diffrent size cigaret lighter. I aslo stalk car boots looking for more stuff, and then when my missy makes me take some unwanted items the tip i swap it and bring more back and hide it down the side of the house. I used to have a nabour who had a business taking stuff from the tip he ended up with no room in his house or the 3 transit vans outside so he bought the house next door and filled that you have never seen so many disons or crt monitors. I love hording when my grandad died we foud vials full of pure morphine enough to wipe half the street out.
