Here I go again...

Let me explain why I'm here. I'm not a total newbie to the whole blogging thing, but this is a totally new topic for me.

My other blog was all about advertising my other passion in life but that was starting to get too political for me to want to carry on.

By the name you can pretty much tell I am a shopaholic. Yes I can say it. I HAVE A PROBLEM. lol this is where everyone in the circle gets up and claps, congratulating me for the fact that I can admit it. Well looking at all the clothes I have I can hardly deny it.

Me? Typical girl, not poor but not rolling in it to fund a designer lifestyle. As my mother says "I like to have the latest things"

I have rent to pay which thankfully includes all my bills and a small phone contract but other than that the rest of my wages are mine to spend or save as I see fit. Its usually the first.

I buy clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, inspiration for shopping trips in the form of magazines that funnily enough never feature the cheap stuff... anything that takes my fancy really. It always seems to be the designer things that I fall for. Sometimes I manage to run away from them and buy the cheap imitation and I have never really truly splurged as I know many people do, getting themselves into thousands and thousands of pounds worth of debt.

This is where I am very lucky. I HAVE NO DEBT. Yep, Uni is paid off and I have not one credit card to my name. And thats the way I'd like to keep it thank you very much.

You could be saying right now "Pah, she's got no issues at all, theres so many more people that are in debt and can't face to wake up in a morning." But I come so close to going down that road every month. It takes a shit load of will power for me to stay this way.

I've just agreed to pay a bit more to my landlord every month for a bigger room, its worth it, but it means that now I have even less to spend every month. My parents give me money every month and I hate it but yet I still end up spending it. I wish I didn't have that debit card. That every morning I would wake up and there would be my daily spends for the day. Nope no more than what is there and anything I didn't spend would go in a piggy bank for a rainy day. But no. I have to grow up and manage my money.

Ok, your saying. Get to the point. I get paid in four days time. And my challenge for this months pay day is not to buy anything that is not:

• Food
• Toiletries (essential items only not make-up)
• Alcohol
• Entry to things eg. cinema, events, clubs.

So, here goes. I will update pretty much every time I have a craving, And pictures will be posted of said items that I crave. Internet or otherwise.

Kinda like a social experiment, kinda like torture, kinda like a distraction.

My mother would be proud.
