I will admit it, I have a problem. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step. It seems plausible I suppose.
I don't just have a small shopping problem, I have a big one. I will buy anything, literally ..
There are things in my closet that still have tags on, shoes that have never been worn, my drawers are overflowing and yet I cannot stop. The Internet has not helped at all, in fact its worse. It makes me feel like I am not actually buying things, and when they turn up in the post its like a wonderful surprise. Damn you Internet.
I am off overseas in 11 weeks for an around the world trip, and I am so worried. A. will I be able to control myself? B. will I spend some ridiculous amount of money on crap I don't need because I think its a bargain? The answer to both is quite simply...yes I will.
In fact I don't need to be a psychic to see a new suitcase having to be purchased to fit all the new purchases in. Unfortunately the enormous bag I have just wont cut it. I already know this.
Thank god for Qantas club and increased baggage limits - I must check them!
I use shopping as a sport/hobby. If it was an Olympic sport I would have many gold medals. People often ask my friends and I what our hobbies are. Its kind of a joke between myself and my best friend Alison. We don't have any, unless you count shopping and watching crap TV on foxtel. Why do people ask that stupid question anyway. I bought a digital SLR thinking that photography would be my new hobby, but it turns out I just wanted to buy one not actually use it.
Am I alone in this useless expensive quest for fulfilment? I keep thinking maybe today I wont feel like shopping. But of course I do.
