Haha so funny!

Well I know I'm addicted cos I now plan all my holiday road trips based on a cross country 'H circuit' (ie visiting as many H shops as I can while on holiday).... and when I was deciding on a new apartment, I based my location decision largely on the fact that there is a H shop downstairs.... :eek:

Downstairs is soooo nuts!!! Wow, that is amazing! Well, guess you are the first to know when they get a shipment!!
 
Had to post in this thread today...as I was packing today and putting away my H boxes above in the closet, I asked DH to help me and he accidentally dropped the boxes on his head and on the floor and all I did was scream " my boxes?!!?" versus " honey, is your head ok?"... I laughed so loud after as poor DH had a scorned look on his face! He said I picked H over him.. Which it is not true :).

OMG! I died laughing. Thanks for sharing your story. I think that's something I would do too.
 
:laugh:
When no one's looking you sniff your bag/agenda.
When your friends say you have to see the Devil Wears Prada because they show "those orange boxes like the ones you have."
When moving you pack your Le Monde and scarf catalogs so they will be among the first things you unpack.
When you turn your DH into an addict too. ;) :laugh:
please share how to turn the DH into an addict! mine likes fine things and admires H, but far from it still...
 
Thanks MYH, I'm a fan of using the forum smilies while on my computer. I don't think they show up if you're using the app unfortunately.

Good point. I will keep in mind there are more cws and I should wait to see them all before choosing. I truly hope common sense prevails on my visit next week.



VigeeLeBrun, thank you for your advice and I'm going to try to repeat the mantra of "save for your B, save for you B..."! I try to avoid shopping as much as possible too because I know my willpower is horrible. I don't "look" either, if I see something I like I end up buying it. Maybe I should go stare at the orange hill in my closet and add up how much it costs to make myself feel guilty? :laugh:
the last tricks with calculating actually works, when i did it, i lost the hermesgasm ... for the whole week or 10 days (that is until my long-awaited bracelet arrived). and then i was overwhelmed again... they just have such beautiful things.. and service is so nice. the trick with seeing more colourways works too.
 
Yep, I didn't think this has happened before! Must be a new record!

In the last two visits, I was mainly looking at their home ware and home furnishing sections. I am brewing this big plan that if our country house purchase did go through, there will be furnished by some H goodies! I did ask for some sample of a wall paper, does that count? My store really hasn’t received many A/W scarves or shawls. During my last visit I really wanted to buy something so I wanted to buy the new cologne. But they ran out of 100ml! And I don’t do 200ml. So I didn’t buy anything!
i also liked their wallpaper. and it is not expensive at all.
 
I completely agree with DrTr on this one. I've gone quite crazy with H especially in the beginning. Not to the point of getting something every week but to the point of getting 6 H bags in 6 months.....if you're worried talk so someone about it. Have u tried setting boundaries for yourself? Maybe 1 item a month?
i would be embarassed telling anyone outside this forum about the scale of this addiction... maybe doctor, anyone?
