Ohh There She Goes.

(this is my post from lastnight at 8pm)

There she goes.

It just sunk in that I sold my car.

My grandfather gave me the full amount in $100 notes. After eating a beautiful pasta dinner, I jumped straight onto www.carsales.com.au and had a look at the options in my price range.

I found the most BEAUTIFUL dark green Audi for a steal. It was so cheap that I didn't waste any time in sending the owner a message to his mobile and asking questions about the car. I'm sweating on him to get back to me because this money is burning a hole in my pocket already. If I'm not careful I'll go out tomorrow and spend $1,000 on clothes, shoes, accessories and more makeup! Speaking of makeup..*pause - guy replied to my sms* DAMN IT, the Audi is solddddd.

Grr, disappointing. Anyway, speaking of makeup, I found all new Calvin Klein makeup sets so I will no doubt be investing in those. Is there such a thing as having a shopping disease? I just cant stop myself. I hate having money. I hate having money because I just want to spend it.

Let me know if any of you are the same way.

Stop, Thief!

There is only one real difference between someone stealing your bag in the street and someone stealing your money over the internet.

When it's virtual theft you can't scream 'Stop, thief!' like they do in the movies. Those famous two words are usually followed by a handsome man throwing a can of vegetables into the crowd. You can actually feel that sense of justice and relief when the can of vegetables hits the thief right on the head as he bolts from the crime scene. It's moments like these that I wish there were virtual cans of vegetables that I could throw through my computer screen that would fly out the thief's computer screen on the other end.


The reason I'm going on about this is because I recently purchased a secondhand Louis Vuitton bag on the internet. The seller was from South Australia and I'm from Melbourne. It's been 23 days since she supposedly sent the bag and it still hasn't arrived. I doubt she even sent it to begin with. She has given me nothing but trouble since day one and I wish I hadn't deposited the money into her account.

Here is the last email I wrote to her.

I feel some release of stress by taking this matter further. Deep down though, I know the feeling will never compare to the relief I would get if I caused a concussion to the lowlife who stole my cash.

For Love Or Money?

A lot of people out there have a shopping addiction. This is no laughing matter. I myself splurge out when I know I should be saving every penny but I can't help it. I ween myself off shopping for a month and then one day it's like a slap in the face. I need new stuff, I crave new stuff. So I do what any normal person does when they crave something.. I go and buy something.

What makes it worse is that I don't work off shopping lists, I'm an impulse buyer. It's not about what I need, it's what I want. If I like the colour, it's in my shopping basket. If it's cute, give it to me and if it's pink? Pwoah, forget it! I have control over how much I spend, I don't go insane just because I have an urge but it's the same with chocolate. I'll go months without chocolate and then all of a sudden BAM, chocolateeee MMMMM.. I'll go and buy 10 chocolate bars and by the time I get home, three of them are nowhere to be found ;)

So, my question to you is..

Are you able to hold back your cravings and temptation or are you just like me? Or are you even worse than me and have to have things all the time?

'For love or money' may seem like a weird way of putting it, but it really is for love or money.
For Example..
I love things. I love stuff, but you need money to buy things and stuff.. So do you
A - Keep your money and miss out on things you love?
or do you
B - Buy the things you love and lose your money?

I'd love to know your outlook on this.
Are you wise with your money or do you splurge, a lot?
