Too Much Time (1 Viewer)

[wellington]

Just wondering if anyone else shares the same problem....I find when I sit at home too much on my days off I continually search the Net and E-Bay for things to buy and have a tendency to buy alot more Figures when I get bored? Wondering if anyone else shares this same Obsessive Compulsive disorder?.....

Hi Welliington,

Yes, I suffer from the same disorder. One of the measures I take to control this problem is to keep my bank balance clearly in front of me as I surf the net. Unfortunately, this measure does not work.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

I have to say, and I'm being honest, but I don't do that. Yes, I will check ebay a little bit more but I don't have the tendency to want to buy more than I'm already buying, which is too much as it is.

My collecting is three fold, I buy some Napoleonic Prints, Napoleonic Antiques and Napoleonic Figures...... There is always something I have my eye on.....

Wellington, I suffer from the same afliction.
Except I have down time at work were I can log additional time on the computer.

I find it's not so much on my days off, but more late at night, when I'm tired and my resistance levels are low, I'll spot something and think ' Oh, what the heck...',

Lots of mouse clicking, drop in bank balance and a parcel a few days later.

I don't really touch my Bank Account, I'll use my VISA then pay it off then go through the same thing...soo many things on my want list......
Should have mentioned the high I get as well which soon wears off and then on to the next piece...what ever that may be.

I am just as bad - Unfortunately, I use the $100 Dollar rule.... if it is less than $100 - I go - oh well - its not that much! Unfornately it never stops with one purchase and you end up over that $100 real fast....

One has just got to chuckle over British humor...I have a good friend in England, who I hope to visit next year. Maybe it might be worth a few hours of a good time to get together with some of you then.......Michael
