There she goes again ...
I had a little internal monologue last night, after I discovered the bottle of Zarita the Doll Girl that the lovely nabiki had for sale. It should sound familiar to many of you ...
Inner BPAL Maniac: ZARITA! ^_^
Practical Self: Now, wait just a minute. We have two bottles arriving from the Lab tomorrow. Do you honestly think we need more BPAL?
IBM: ( Read more... )

Only mine is a little more like this:
PS: You do not need yet ANOTHER different scent!
IBM: But this one might turn out to be the best ever most awesome scent on me! I can't miss out on that!

But dang it, the prices were too darn reasonable! Full Pumpkin Patch 5mls for $10? A mostly-full Pink Phoenix for $15?!!! My PS was swept away by her own thrift ...

IBM: But this one little wee one more is only seven dollars, it's just a partial....c'mon! A partial.
FG: No!
IBM: We can swap it later....
FG: No!
IBM: We have those unloved imps we could sell....build up the Paypal...
FG: Well....maybe if we only spend what we get from selling. Only.
[two weeks later is obvious we have totally blown that rule]
I am putting a monthly dollar limit on the bpal starting June. For serious. not including what I get from selling, and there's always swapping

Oh yes, that sounds very familiar. Right down to the "it's only a partial and an inexpensive one at that, one more won't hurt", and "you've got all these unloved imps to sell that'll bulk up your PayPal, go onnnnn...do it!". I've been attempting spending limits, but it keeps promptly flying out the window, helped this month by the fact I got unexpectedly given some money as a gift, and thus it's not really spending money, right? ^_^;;
And just so you know? The feedback you left me made me blush. You're too nice. <3

(my BPAL addiction started with an unexpectedly large tax return....and now I really have to budget because I have gone through my 'can burn this much' cash)

(And I think mine started whilst I was working last summer, and hence had some extra money to spend. Which doesn't quite carry through to term time where I'm focusing on my studies and hence don't have a job right this moment.)
