The difference

Kindly note that there are marked differences between being a Spendaholic & a Shopaholic. If you unpack both words it will be impossible for you to miss the differences unless you do not speak English. Please do keep in mind that, while I do love to spend money, I remain a Shopaholic. Thank you.

Do I deserve my title??

Anyway, I'm sitting and working thinking and working thinking some more and I come to the realisation that if, for whatever reason I'm too busy to shop like a pro, I have no right to call myself a shopaholic - someone else should have this title as it would seem that I'm no longer worthy of it.

I'll have to do something about this as I'm not prepared to go down without a fight!  I will not relinquish my title!  I will shop again!  (oh, so dramatic, I can be a real drama queen when the situation calls for it!)  Once I am done studying and work has calmed down - would someone please tell the D's at TPG that Christmas is approaching with speed, he he he - I will make up for lost time and regale you with all the stories of my trips once again!

By the way - do you know that if you don't use your Edgars or Truworths account for 6 months, or pay them off, Edgars sends you a R50.00 voucher (that's all??!!) to try and tempt you to spend money on your account and Truworths sends you a R200.00 if you spend over R800.00.  Hmmm.  Almost worth using my account again, but not quite.

Have fun shopping til you drop!

All work and no play makes Jane a dull girl...

So it looks like on top of all of the other engagements that I have this weekend, all free moments are going to be spent working and those not spent working are going to be spent shopping which, the way I calculate it, means there's no time to sleep and even less time to breathe, especially in that panicky-I've-got-too-much-to-do-and-sense-a-heartattack-coming-on kind of breathing.  I have lots of shopping that I need to do, dammit.  All I've bought this week is magazines and blue-black (please note blue-black, not just any-old black) hairdye and some very cool handbag hooks (5 x for Christmas presents) and some other random little thingies.  I actually need lots of big stuff!!!  Like, this weekend!  Who ever thought that I would be studying, working, trying to find time to shop and attempting to behave in the appropriate fashion for a wife and mother and also making nice with friends that I've neglected (yes, I am a crap friend, I believe this is not the first time I've mentioned it).  WTF, WTF, WTF.  Lmfao, perhaps a holiday can solve the hysteria??  No, highly unlikely.

Gotta dash, if I don't do my work no-one else will.

P.S. Shop like mad!  There are really, truly sales absolutely everywhere!!!

& Retail Therapy does its work again

So I just came back from a worthwhile shopping spree!  Bought makeup, pants, shirt, Rapport 4 Gerhard so he can read about Joost's pitiful, pathetic story of lies & adultery.  What an f*ing arsehole!

I feel much better than earlier; at 4:15am my neighbour woke us with her bloodcurdling screaming as she heard guys trying to break into her house. Hubby leapt out of bed & saw one of them jump over the wall, so we set off the alarm.  I'm having difficulty getting the sound of her screams out of my head. Thank God nothing happened to her or the kids.  Retail therapy made me feel much betta.  Yes, I know if sounds ridiculous.  Whatever.


Til next time, shop, shop, shop - sales are everywhere!
