For instance i had the total urge to buy 7 a4 notepads, like i felt hungry for them, i needed to put them on my coffee table and look at them and own them and i thought about them for 2 days, but i managed to not do it. I dont think mania would allow that!
Now i've bought that up thought i really want to go and buy them again. I think i might lol

I do the same thing! I find something I want (either before I even make it a plan to get it or once I am already in the store) and I HAVE TO HAVE IT. ASAP. Need to own it, need to have it, use it, see it, research it, think about it till I get it and sometimes after, etc. Sometimes its even the smallest thing. I go on shopping binges. Usually when I'm manic. Sometimes when I'm depressed to feel better, but when I'm manic it's like you said "I felt hungry" for this stuff. (you described it perfectly) I later feel guilty that I was so impulsive.
