girlsmum Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I was in TK max today and found myself in the household section looking at a tray with the picture of a chicken on it. Almost bought it then changed my mind. I struck me as funny that i seem compelled to buy anything with a chicken on it - whether i need it or not I dont need another tray. I have 2 and rarely use them. I dont need any more mugs, egg cups, plates, ornaments or anything else but the chicken factor is a great lure. Anyone else have this problem?

bluekarin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I have to opposite problem. I have yet to buy my first bit of chickenalia Terrible, I know, but I'll see something think thats nice, but do I need it, realise I don't, and then not buy it. I wish I could apply that to my other shopping as I'd have so much more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yes stuff that I wouldn't normally look at either - like trays etc. Even my family are in on it my mum bought me this I was inordinately pleased with it and I don't normally wear an apron!

Chucky Mama Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I haven't bought anything yet partially because if I do the whole world will feel the need to buy me something with a chicken on every birthday and Christmas.

mostin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It's very strange isn't it . I've never felt that urge to buy things covered with cats or rabbits, so why do I need to buy things covered in chickens . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I quite agree Mostin...I've never been like this before with anything else...fortunately our kitchen cupboard has now reached saturation point so I really can't buy any more mugs...still plenty of extra space for tea towels aprons etc though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I always look at chicken stuff but the thought of the amount of I'd get from my boys is enough to make me walk away . (That, and the fact that I don't really need any of it .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKMax you say...... It's very strange isn't it . I've never felt that urge to buy things covered with cats or rabbits, so why do I need to buy things covered in chickens . Because they are soooo pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm absolutely terrible. I have about 30 chicken ornaments, numerous toy/cuddly chickens, a handpainted card of a chicken, a chicken lamp, nearly all my mugs have chickens on them, a tiny chopping board which is useless but has a chicken on it, a nailbrush i didn't need that has a chicken on it, an outdoor bell with a chicken on it, chicken badges and a chicken on a spring that hangs in the window. I have got better lately but i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybird Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I just had to order a load of stuff when M&S started doing a range of 'chicken' crockery. I had to search for ages on line to find the cuddly chickens for the children at Christmas. Now Phoenix Cards have expanded their chicken range I can share my enthusism even more widely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've got a chicken money box and a rather lovely rooster door stop but am determined not to buy anything else. When we first got married I had a couple of cat ornaments and from then on people would buy me some for birthdays etc. I ended up with loads. OH doesn't like ornaments really so I've had to whittle the cats down to about 3 about the house. He would definitely go if any more chicken stuff appeared.

Valkyrie Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I haven't bought anything for myseld - DD buys up any chickenalia going. Although I did notice some little item in a garden centre a couple of weeks ago and said to my mum "DD would love that" - yep, chicken bits (still didn't purchase it though - yet).

helenp Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I was bought a chicken mug & cotswold Chicken gift voucher by my colleagues at work, then an iron chicken egg holder for Christmas that started it My last buy was a glass chicken bead for my Truth bracelet. I have to be so good & say no room, won't use it. Going to The Ashby Show tomorrow so my resolve will be tested in the craft tent I feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
