cigarettes, ebay, shopping
someone asked why the Quit Smoking counter is down...does it mean I've started smoking again?
The good news, is no. I haven't started smoking again. It's been about 15 weeks since I gave up and no sign of starting up again, so I thought it was time to replace it with something else. I dont even crave a cigarette when I'm drinking, which was the final hurdle to get over. The new smoking laws, banning smoking from all indoor bars, pubs, anywhere food or drink is served, definitely makes it a hell of a lot easier.
Swapping one addiction for another, I have rediscovered my love of shopping. The fact that clothes fit so much better now, and that alot of my pants are seriously baggy, means I'm wanting to extend my wardrobe, but its starting to take a toll on my bank account. Its so much easier to spend all your money when you don't have something in the immediate future to save for. :( I keep telling myself I'll pull in the reins next week/next month etc.... drinking, eating out, shopping.... argh! maybe I should just take up smoking again to replace the other vices- smoking rollies was a shitload cheaper.
I bought a few things on ebay too.... dvd, bag and a top. I'm sort of regretting the purchase of the top though. I have bought a few clothes on ebay before and not all have fit that well, and looked that great in person. I really need to nip this shopping addiction in the butt before I end up buying a whole bunch of crap from ebay... which I've done before!
OOOH there was this other top I bid on the other week and won. No one else had bid on it so I got it for the starting bid of $0.99. The seller had wanted to sell the top in the photo plus more items of clothing... a mystery box. And her description had said when bidding passed $15 she would throw in a gift, when it passed $30 there would be another gift etc. So I'm guessing she was expected quite a few more bids. I didn't really want anything else except the one top in the photo..... I sent her a
