Somebody Stop Me
Please!!!
I have discovered a new addiction. Shopping. In the sales. Oh no - what was I thinking. My little trip into the city to purchase one bra turned into a bit of a shopping spree.
I bought a bra. A 5 way adjustable thingy. Then realised they had a sale on. Buy one thing pay 100%. Buy two things get 20% discount. Buy three things take 30% off the lot. So I bought three things. Of course :)
Then I stopped off in a bag shop and walked out with a little sparkly clutch kind of bag. I am very vague with bags and don't own any nice ones because for the last almost four years I have just put my stuff in the nappy bag. But now I have this one for the wedding and any other fancy events I may go to now.
Then I decided to look in the Tie Rack. 2 kerchiefs for the boys and 1 silk wrap for me later I was out of that shop.
You would think that would be enough. That it would satiate my appetite for new things. But like one bite of chocolate it only fueled the desire to have more. So I decided to leave work early today and go shopping. Again. I had been eyeing off some shoes at Broadway and needed to buy some casual brown shoes to go with all my new clothes. I looked at lots of them and after discounting all the new sparkly sandals on stiletto heels (what the!) I settled for a nice pair of Diana Ferrari's. With matching bag. D'oh.
So tonight I am trying to nurse my credit card back to health whilst I pack (yet again) for our weekend away to Ulladulla. It is the weekend of the wedding. It is a long weekend in Sydney and we will be returning on Monday afternoon. So that means I will be weighing in on Tuesday. Part of me is hopeful, like on "The Biggest Loser 2" that the extra 24 hours will mean extra weight loss, but my pattern has never been like that. Monday is generally always my lowest day. Then Tuesday shoots up and the rest of the week steadily works its way down again. Strange. I had considered taking the scales with me but the drive down will only serve to knock out the calibration so I won't. I will just take Tuesday as it comes.
On that note I am going to go and try on my shoes again and start packing. I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend planned. See you all on Monday when I hope to have photo's of me all frocked up. LOL. I almost typed that wrong ;)

Hilarious and I know exactly what you mean!! You can't just walk into a shop and buy exactly what you went in there for. Even grocery shopping is the same LOL!! Have a great time at the wedding and hopefully the weather is great. XX

Got to love a good shopping spree, hehe! I bought myself a new halter neck top yesterday. It's all green and flowery and summery. I didn't need it at all but hey, I felt good for buying it! And it looks pretty darn good on me too. Now I need a five way bra to wear underneath it!
