Want it, need it, buy it, forget it

Sales.

I'm hooked, even though I don't want, need or even have any money for anything. I still want to go and have a look at the so claimed 'amazing discounts' and crazy buyer temptations this week.

Christmas was over in the blink of an eye and now, we're celebrating mass consumerism and materialism on a grand scale. Even if you don't have the money for it, you're sure to be suffering from a feeling of 'missing out' if you don't go and join in the sales.

Harvey Nichols sale was a real temptation for me - over 60% off The Must-Have items of this season. It was only when I realised that even 60% off meant that they were still out of reach, that I decided not to bother.

Maybe's it's a better idea to abstain. Stay at home, play games with your kids, or someone elses(!) and relax... remember that Christmas is about relaxation, family and fun - not bagging the latest Chloe at half price.

Ouch, it's hard though. I may have to lock my front door and lose the key. Prisoner in my own home!

Have a good one Busy Girls, love Eva xx
