Aversion Retail Therapy
I went to do my grocery shopping in town today. The 99p shop were blasting twee Christmas music in the street, giving away helium-filled balloons and they had a Santa sitting on a small stage posing for photos with passers by.
Cringe.
My little 3 year old nephew Ashley noticed all the street hawkers and charity collectors. He'd already put a pound in Pudsey's bucket. "Everybody needs coins!" he observed.
Don't they just!
Well, I need to keep some back... I did make one sort of unnecessary purchase today: there was a book sale at the library and How to Pay Off Your Mortgage in 2 Years was just 80p.. I'd been thinking of ordering that in. Which would have cost £1.20.
I'm not attempting a feat as bold as that, but there may be some business and saving tips.
I'm getting more requests to do things following my witches exhibition, and I'm giving a lunchtime talk at the museum on Tuesday, which I'm looking forward to.
Tonight's film is going to be Ichi, a freebie from SFX weekender a couple of years ago.
