My notebook addiction

The first step to overcoming a problem is to accept that you have a problem to begin with. Here goes…
I have an addiction to notebooks.
I can’t stop buying them!
I haven’t counted up exactly how many I have, but I think it’s around the 20 - 25 mark. I have all sorts of notebooks, and I don’t even have anything to write in them! I’m not a student anymore so I don’t have any lecture notes I could use them for.
I really should stop buying notebooks, because I have no need for them. I keep seeing new notebooks I like though, so let’s outline some of my favourites.
This notebook over on the left is shaped like a monster! I love monsters, and when I saw this notebook I couldn’t not buy it. That’s how much I love it. It has giant lines on the inside, which is great for me - I have giant handwriting. My handwriting is huge, and I need huge lines to match it.
Massive lines + shaped like a monster = perfect notebook for Rachael.
I just wish I had something to write in it!
This is my My Chemical Romance “drumline” notebook, which has characters from The Black Parade in a marching drumline on the cover. Thanks to the fabulous exchange rate between American dollars and Pounds and the fact that this was bought in a sale, I got it really cheaply! Again, though, I haven’t written a single word in it. Deary me.
This notebook here on the left has Octopi on the cover. That may not be that awesome to most, but to one person in particular, I think this will be a pretty awesome notebook.
That’s why I’m off to the post office soon, to send this cute notebook out to America. Yes, Bubs, this notebook is for you!
What other notebooks do I have?
Sometimes I’ll come across a style of notebook that’s just completely awesome. And because I don’t keep track of notebooks that I buy, I can sometimes end up with similar ones. These four notebooks over on the right are the exact same notebook, but in four different colours. They were bought over a period of several months, and all cost less than 50p.
My favourite notebooks are the ones that have millions of pages. I have several really thick notebooks (about an inch thick) that are chock full of pages I can write on at some point. The picture over on the left shows my three thickest notebooks - the notebook on the top is the purple 50p notebook, for comparison.
So where do I buy my notebooks from? Well, the 50p notebooks and the octopus notebook are from Tesco, and my thick / monster notebooks are from Paperchase. I’ve also bought a couple of notebooks from Claire’s Accessories. I love notebooks!
Now we have that out of the way, anyone have any ideas about a cure for this addiction?
