When the very lovely Kirsty over at My Home Truths let it slip that this week’s confession involved gadgets, and possibly the excessive ownership of such toys, my heart skipped a little fluttery beat.
Gadget-overload is a very real phenomenon and I’ll readily admit that me and my mob are guilty as charged.
That’s ok though, isn’t it? Because, I freaking LOVE gadgets.
I especially adore gadgets that come beautifully boxed with silver apples on white cartons. They are my all-time favourites and my iAffair continues, with the same breathless passion it had when the fire was first lit.
Oh be still, my beating iHeart.

In our household of 2 adults, 2 teens and a toddler we certainly have an excess of tech gadgetry. There can be no doubt about it – we must be keeping the company that makes power-boards afloat!
Now, it’s true that some of the following little beauties were gifted, some were purchased as gently pre-loved and one was even won (yay, me!), this is the current stocktake of gadgetry …. It’s just a little obscene when put into a list like this …. oooops …..
4 x laptops (includes 3 windows ones and 1 macbook pro);
1 x iMac; 2 x iPads (1st gen and 3rd gen);
2 x iPad minis;
2 x iPhone 4s;
1 x iPhone 5 (and sniff, sniff it’s not mine),
and a Microsoft Surface tablet.
Oh, and yes, that excludes the Wii and PS3.
I confess I have a gadget addiction. But I’d love a job working for this company! Image Source
I can honestly state that aside from one small, incredibly slow 10″ mini laptop, all of the above gadgets get a great workout and are used regularly, most often daily. And really, that’s a great deal better than having so much $ invested in electronic toys that just gather dust. Heaven forbid.
Forced to choose what I wouldn’t or couldn’t live without, I may possibly be able to narrow it down to two toys – the iPad (3rd gen) and the iPhone 4S. These little gems are rarely far from my side and the thought of an existence without them both is a scenario I dare not envisage. Out, bad thoughts, out!
Ok, I’ve fessed up now and bared to all the truth of my iAddiction … so it’s your turn …
Mac or Windows?
What gadget would you be lost without?
Do you linger at JB-Hi Fi and other such fantasy shopping establishments?
Linking up with Kirsty at My Home Truths, where this week’s confession linky will have others sharing their souls too. Go and give them some loving!
