{January 16, 2008}   Resistance, Is It Futile?

SHOPPERWorking on oxford Street basically means money pours out of my pockets and into the tills of the many shops around me without even having to try.
However, these days it is a totally different story. It feels like 50 weeks since last pay day, with another 6 more to go till next pay day. It means shopping is well and truly off the (credit) cards.
It’s not helping that stores are slashing prices like it’s going out of fashion, but I’m also being tempted by all the lovely new things that are popping up in the window.

Oh how I wish I could run into a store and fill my arms with as much stuff I could carry, throw my debit card at the cashier, and beg for them to bag it all up!

So anyhoo.. I have been good and resisted all urges to shop; generally by not going out for a wander at lunch times and heading straight home after work. Yawn.

However, now that I can see pay day looming on the horizon I can feel my will weakening and the lure of the stores getting stronger. Eeek.

This is why there has been no Object of My Affection post as I cannot even begin to obsess over anything, or else it will end up in my wardrobe with the bank manager banging at my door.
