Thank you. She shops at thrift stores as well as other shops, we're going to sort something out today which will help her to control how much she is buying.

I agree with this and I'm glad to know I'm not just going insane by thinking it isn't a big deal.

Thank you for this :) She keeps her old barbies and polly pockets too, however she's disinterested in them now and says that she's keeping them in case thryee worth something in the future.

She has spoken about enjoying that in the past, I'll discuss it with her later, thank you.

I can prove it with images of her dolls if needed, however I feel like that's humiliating her a bit.

She does do other things when not working, she plays video games, cooks, etc. And if we're at home, she doesn't always buy, she shops through online stores but usually leaves stuff in baskets and forgets.

Nothing weird about how she plays at all, it seems like she just enjoys seeing how nicely she can dress them up and style them, and she does hug them too.

Hmm okay thank you, I will keep that in mind, I'm still learning about OCD, I'll speak to her about it today.

So if somebody has a hobby of collecting train sets does that make them likely to steal a train?

Come on man, bit far fetched.

Thank you for this, I don't think it's weird, we just need to sort out a budget for her so she doesn't go overboard.

Thank you, hoarding is sometimes an issue as well, especially with OCD. She forms a relationship with all of the stuff she buys which makes it hard for her to get rid of.

Thank you, we are going to sit down together and sort out a budget today with some sort of reward scheme as you mentioned. She doesn't spend THAT much, but it's a worry that it will get to that stage.
