Shopaholics anon

[wishfulthinking]

I have been sooooo good. 3 weeks ago I decided to stop spending and start saving as I have no excuses not to save for a house deposit (and a holiday ). But I got dragged down to the mall on Sunday (and while I did fairly good - only purchased 2 things + birthday gift) I realised how bad I am!

We went to a shoe shop first, and it was crowded with only 1 sales lady serving a pain in the butt (apparently the customer had walked out with the stockings last time she was there). I picked up a shoe I wanted to try and was still wandering around because there was about 4 other people waiting. The sales lady had then gone and got my shoe size in those as well another pair of shoes she thought I would like by the same maker (and which I subsequently bought).

Then we went to another shop, and one lady asked me how was my new job going (used to model with her daughter, she had heard from someone else about my new job). Then another shop where they said to me they hadn't seen me in a couple of weeks, did I no longer working near the mall?

I soon got the hell out of the mall. And thought I better start a shopaholics anon for those like me! Share your guilty pleasures (and make me feel better)!

I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to buying a webtablet (you know, the kind for drawing which is then translated into digital?) for only 250:- SKR (about $30), but I screamed out loud, and closed the window. I'm not gonna buy it until I've passed my computer science test, or I'm gonna do nothing but play all evenings!

I have one problem, I love buying panties. Doesn't matter where I am. I can be at the mall or even the supermarket and if they have panties there, I will buy them or at least browse through them.

My biggest purchase in undies, I guess was a pair of tiny, itsy, bitsy undies for $30.00...

All the other things I buy that are expensive, I buy because I really want them.

Underwear I buy because I can't help myself.

I've just spent £40 on tickets to go and see a play that has Anthony Stewart Head in it. £20 for me and £20 for a friend of mine who couldn't have afforded to go otherwise.

And I've just so nearly bought this absolutely gorgeous chunk of amethyst. It fits so nicely in my left hand and sends soothing vibrations... fuck it, I'm going back and buying it tomorrow.

Damn you wishful! This is your fault!

I am a boot whore.

I have to convince myself I am broke and have no money in order to let myself near a shoe store.

I have excessive boots. But what did I buy 2 weeks ago? ... but they are soo cute! and really nice leather, and they match my fall jacket! and and ... I really didn't -need- a new pair of Frye's but I got boot envy when my husband bought a new paid of boots. How sad is that?

Well the fact I cut myself on them when I bought them and the nice medic at Nordstoms bandaged up my finger makes it a little sadder. He was real nice Even tried to make me feel less stupid.

~Alex --- I need a 12 step program.

Hello, my name's TheEarl and I'm not allowed in a Waterstone's unchaperoned.

I so nearly made it out the other day. Went in, had to speak to the manager about something, got nearly to the door, turned back to look at something and wham, I'd bought Brian Herbert's Road to Dune.

It's a sickness I tells ya!

Good you didn't. If it's that cheap, it's probably crap anyway.

Hello, my name is Liar an I'm a grocery shopaholic. Whenever I pass by a supermarket or convenoience store, I start thinking "Isn't there something I need back home? Beer? Tomatos? Toothpaste?" and I walk in. And walk out with something that I really don't need, like a bundle of garlic, or a packet or weird cereal, or whatever. Stuff that I either already had at home, or I'll never eat anyway before it turns old and yucky.

I keep telling myself "Make a fucking grocery list, you dumbo!".

As if.

I'm a slut for skin products -- lotions, oils. Current favorites are philosophy's melting marshmallow souffle (at $30 for a little tub) and Supre Hempz moisturizer (slightly cheaper). Both smell SOOOOOOOOOOO good and feel even better!

I rarely wear a stitch of make-up, but I ALWAYS wear a yummy lotion or oil.

Trust är nästan jämt skräp. Inget att lita på (haha).

Kul att det står Vikt: 0.56 kg på ett stäle och Vikt: 0.8 kg på ett annat.

I LOVE shopping. It's why I never have money lol. It doesn't even matter what I'm shopping for. I always buy lots of stuff I probably don't need...And if I'm at the bookstore... well you HAVE to buy 4 or 5 books at a time so they last you a week *sighs* and clothes shopping is the worst...there's so much stuff that's super cute that you have to have hehe...

cute thread

Pffft!
You gals think you can 'shop', hah?
Try & keep up w/ me in a Mall, with your little 'oh so carefully picked out shoes' chafing your tired little feetseses.
BTW: I can hold purses & bags like a pack mule.
