Buy less stuff

It turns out that I buy too much other stuff as well – especially if they are bargains….

We were tidying this weekend and I discovered 5 bottle of Fairy liquid, 5 bottles of squash and 5 packets of dishwasher tablets.

I am going to try and be better.

I finished the first book of a trilogy and really want the next one – is this allowed – probably not – but I want it in any case. I am rebelling. Amazon here I come….

Curses Amazon’s free delivery lured me in and prompted me to spend over £5 – as the book I wanted was 3.99 – this meant another book – boo!

Still I haven’t bought any CDs.

Two weeks have gone by and I have no more CDs, books or games.

I have bought food and underpants.

In fact, we cleared out underneath the beds and found loads of stuff to take to the charity shop.

Whoop Whoop!

I have resisted buying things for two days now.

I resisted visiting a really nice charity shop yesterday (age concern on the edgeware road).

Even though I got some really good offers through on email…

There was one that seemed too good to be true – 10 books for £16 – mmmmm books.

There is the small possibility that I have enough stuff.

Too many bargains and so little time.

It turns out that I am an acquistive little magpie who want to build a nest out of bargain books, cds, dvds and computer games.

The number that I have not read, listened to, watched or played is not a good number.

I will stop and be better in future.
