10. Is often offered tempting items .. to which he replies " I think I may have one of those , let me check ".
Impossible to check through everything, so he buys it . Now he knows he has one .
( Until he is offered another one 6 months later ) " I'll just check ..... "

13. Hopes th missus will be out when posty calls with parcels,

Har.. ..Har .
Methinks Al could have called this thread ...
- True Confessions .. of a diehard collector
If you answered yes to at least 5 of the questions your relationship could be in jeopardy .
I reckon that all the points are a bit closer to home than we'd care to admit
I 'm thinking " I haven't met any of these blokes , so how do they know "

Hands Up!!! - I gave up on that about 3 years ago, so maybe there's a glimmer of salvation! Unfortunately the rest of the definitions ring a very familiar tune.
Mrs Tyke is away in Paris 'with the girls' so a rare opportunity to put more signs up on the walls unchallenged has been put to good use. |
