I collect Zippo lighters. I've got over 10 (been slowly building them up). But in the last week, I've spent over £200 on two lighters alone! (Both from the Vietnam war and very cool).

 

But do I need my head examined? Both will become more valuable as time goes on, but I've just spent that kind of money on lighters when I'm buying a new house and car in the same two weeks! Help!

 

thats normal collecting imo

way out of hand don!

Ive got a Mr Blonde Zippo from the film Reservoir Dogs

hahaha, he said its for "our" (meaning mine and the kids) future.........there going strait down the antiques shop

Don- Don't worry about the house (whens the house warming party by the way? ) or the car, more importantly does Vicky know you've spent that money on a couple of lighters in the same week as VALENTINES DAY?

Phone up cash in the attic and get them to flog them at huge prices!

And cheers everyone. I thought I was starting to go a bit (more) loopy...

That's why I said a bit more loopy!   Rach - no idea about house warming to be honest! It would be a bit messy - loads of people over, brand new carpets and no-where to kip! But I'll try to sort something out. As for valentines - don't worry. I've got her some lovely stuff. I'll love it..... errrr, I mean she'll love it! *Don trys to wrap a bowling ball*

my mate spent £300 on a custom teddy bear.
