My Guilty pleasures....

I used to love comping, sharon103, back in the days when it was all about skill or slogans, or hunting down entry forms, and I won some fantastic prizes. I rarely bother now, apart from the GN draws, of course!

My guilty pleasure is Genealogy. I can do research for hours. Then chocolate covered cherries, that are only available here around Christmas. My pleasure in books is like those of us with bookshelves in every room except the kitchen. I would love to have one of those libraries with all walls of books and a sliding ladder to reach the top shelf.

My guilty pleasure is doing puzzles on the long trip to work and back.Chocolate,zoopla looking at houses that i would buy if i won the lottery.

I find it very frustrating when you people refer to where they live but don’t give us any sort of clue - is it even in this country - get my drift. This country for me is England.
OPgrndtr - Chocolate covered cherries sound scrumptious.

Buying balls of wool,I just can't resist the colours , then I buy a dark chocolate Bounty to eat while I decide what to knit/crochet .

Buying nice soap bars and doing jigsaws

Typing - def not handwriting - letters to elderly friends who are not computer literate. I know how very much these 4-5 pages of A4 typing are appreciated. Give me a coffee, a spare hour on the computer in the corner and the roof could cave in for all care! Am in my own little world!

Granless - I was just thinking the very same thing about people posting about where they live but not letting us know where it is - at least let us know what country it is.

No guilt here.

Mine is a strawberry jam sandwich on bread that has thick butter!!!!!

Bordersgirl57 - enjoy!!!

Crime novels! Woohoo. Love them - even though I am generally quite squeamish.

I enter the Gransnet competitions Maggiemaybe but not won ,,,,,,,yet. Have you?

I’ve been very lucky with them, sharon103. I won a weekend in Stirling and afternoon tea with the author MC Beaton last year, which was great fun. And other things.

Fingers crossed for you!

Loads of real books, many from charity shops, and a lot on the Kindle. I never used to think I'd take to a Kindle, but have found it very useful when
a) going away with a friend, hand baggage only, so no room for the 4 + books I'd normally take to last me a week,

b), being able to read in bed without disturbing dh. Esp. in hotel rooms. At home at least I can sleep in another room if I want the bedside light on.

c) being able to make the font size a bit bigger - I've been known to pass on books I'd otherwise like to read because of a very small font,

d). Kindle means I've read some seriously fat, heavy books I'd otherwise not bother with, since too heavy/awkward to read in bed.

I love having afternoon tea with friends, finding lovely tea shops that serve nice sandwiches and lovely cakes. We all get dressed up for the occasion: I love wearing dresses, and have so many - another guilty pleasure!

My guilty pleasure is sneaking a choc ice to take with me to eat in bed at night before my husband joins me, sounds awful I know, but I do enjoy it.
