My addiction began approximately 10 years ago.....
There is no therapy which has succeeded in curing me.....
I attend regular sessions of exposure therapy........
But it has yet to work.....
My mother has coached me.....she says the solution is simple....Just say no....to myself......
I must be strong in the face of temptation......
But how can a girl survive..... in a world of such allures....
I am addicted to jewellery.....
Beads, jewels, feathers, stones....you name it....whoever said "All that glitters is not gold" (that would be Shakespeare) was completely wrong. In the metaphorical sense all that glitters is very much gold to my soul.
In no way am I a jewellery snob. My collection ranges from the jewels of Penneys (Primark) to Newbridge to Guess to the craft stalls of the various markets in my city.
I have photographed some of my earrings for this piece to show you the range of quality and material.

| Couldn't resist including my watch....I wear it everyday and is the mainstay of my Jewellery Collection |
I should say as a rule and admittedly it is one that I don't always abide to : Bigger is Better.
Storage is becoming an issue however. And money is not always as freeflowing as one would like. As a result, because I am one of those adults who resides with their parents still, I have been reduced to smuggling my goods into the house.
I need to learn how to say no...... I am a magpie. But I think the first step is to acknowledge the problem and move forward.... Who am I kidding - I could be addicted to worse things.
