i need, i want

i get-off on shopping. bargain shopping to be exact.

i love sales, i hardly ever buy full-price. and when i find a piece, that is perhaps the last piece on the rack ..... and if it fits like a glove, oooh .... i cannot resist. the lethal combo of the discounted price with the perfect fit is euphoric.

i probably have more clothes than there are days to wear it. lingerie too. and make-up, don't get me started with the make-up haul that i have. then there are shoes and bags. i could go on.

very quickly my need changes into a want and i don't really know what i want it for, i just do. herewith lies my problem.

i'm failing miserably at my resolution to save money. the post-xmas sale is sucking me dry. i may not have the strength *or the money left over* to save. it's so painful saying no to retail. so far i've been clean 3 days, but i feel like cracking. boy, this is worst than trying to quit smoking. sigh.
