I haven't been feeling too well for the last week or so, but i am starting to feel a bit better today.
I can see the positives now - I haven't been shopping! I had a little walk to the local shop yesterday afternoon and bought a few little bits - I had to have some Space Raiders! I love them and haven't had them for ages!
But that is all i have bought and a little chocolate to cheer myself up, of course - Think i spent about £3...a new record for me, but just not feeling the shopping thing at the moment, again - a new record for me.

I have the hospital tomorrow (again!), but hopefully will be well enough to make this appointment, i need to go to this one, i cannot afford to miss it again and i don't think they will let me re-schedule again anyway.

Besides that, i am tempted to do a bit of shopping afterwards. I am arguing with myself over this one, not sure it is a good idea considering i am trying to shift lots of things on ebay.
Knowing me though, i will give into the temptation.
Although, i have improved lately - i no longer buy anything and everything like i used to (Impulsive shopper), i go through 5 'critical' questions in my mind before buying:

Do i really need it?
Is it worth it?
Is it good value/good deal?
Will i get enough use from it?
Is it in the sale?
 
If i answer No to 3 or more of the questions, i reluctantly put it back and although at the time i keep thinking i should go back for it, i don't regret it for long - because as little as a couple of hours later i don't even remember it - that's how much i 'needed' it at the time!
Thank you to Jay Hunt for that tip (I am a 'Spendaholics' addict - i love that show!).
