Confession of a shopaholic

It's winter. It's cold. Daylight is super short. Your appetite is easily satisfied by festive food - mince pie, mulled wine, chocolate, cakes and more chocolate so dinner is often optional. There isn't really any need to leave the house again after getting back from work if there's nothing planned with friends. Switched on yhe central heating, soak in a hot bath and pour myself a glass of nice wine. Before I know I'm all comfortable and pampered.

Thanks to victor I'm addicted to will and grace and I've been chasing the series with all my available free time. Since the DVD is only playable on my laptop I have no choice but to sacrifice the 52" plasma downstairs. Well I'm happy gluing onto my cosy little laptop screen on my comfortable bed.

Ok now here's the deal. You're on your laptop with wireless connection. There's lots of junkmails telling you about all the good deals online, and they are really good!!! Before I know I'm pausing will and grace's infamous argument, karen's incessant worship of her own gigantic boobies and jacks lovable stupidity, and get indulged in the evil online shopping spree... House of Fraser, Topman.com, Asos.com, fragrancedirect.com, hmv, zavvi, play.com etc etc.

It's been a pleasant 2 weeks. I get at least a parcel a day of my online purchases. It's like getting a Xmas present a day lol! Sounds crazy yea? But I have to defend myself on this... I admit spending on average xxxpds per order but I return a big chunks of them if they're not what I really want or need. Yes most sites offer free return. Stick the free return postage sticker and hand it to the nearest postoffice and a refund will be raised onto my card!

Now I need a new wardrobe, cd tower and toileteries rack to accomodate this influx of goodies lol!
