    Hi Border

    The Hoarding disorder and the Extreme Shopping disorder go together, I think. It can be a bit of a compulsion, but I shouldn't worry too much about it. Just think that you are doing your bit for the economy by supporting the retail trade. And you could always get a bigger wardrobe :!:

    Hi Joanne

    Apart from the socks, I think your husband is to be applauded for gradually recycling his school. If he carries on like this, maybe in time he will find a way of recycling the kids too :!: :lol:

    He has also set up an allotment by his school for a few interested kids who turn up most sundays to dig and plant. They have made a shed out of recycle school wood. I have to say when he says he is going up the allotement which one the one near our house or his school one which is eight miles away from us. joanne

    Joanne mine keeps the inside of toilet rolls too, for planting sweet peas but he doesnt get round to planting them.We have a whole,large box full.He also takes everything free from the school.He just cant resist.
    He also has a habit of every time we drive past a car for sale
    he has to stop suddenly,park on a dodgy bend or similar,jump out the car and disappear for ages to chat to the owner leaving me waiting and fuming.He doesnt have the money for a car but cant resist looking.He has been now banned from doing this if I am with him.

    Hi Steph

    2. Cognitive Tempo disorder...........symptoms are dreaminess and sluggishness, and a tendency to be lazy.

    Joan, not Joanne, although we've both got the same disorder

    Hi Joy

    The more people identify new syndromes on this thread, the more I realise that I suffer from practically all of them.

    The Purchasing Art Materials Syndrome is a well-recognised disorder, and I love to buy new brushes, paints, etc. etc. I could probably paint hundreds of pictures with the amount I've got, but I can't resist them.

    I have puchaseing craft matierials syndrome some pink feathers caught my eye the other day. Ive decided to add some beads on leather laces and attach to my boots im all ready thinking if i made em detachable i could change colours and coordinate out fits as i had my eye on the other coloured feathers. You see how addicted i am i havent started on my first idea yet and im thinking about the second third etc is there a cure? :lol:

    No cure, Joanne, so just swim with the dolphins, as Mel would say.
