This sign, seen in a favourite shop in Devizes, was made for people like me. In fact in this very place I recently saw something, pondered, finally decided and....poof! It was gone. I never learn

About Me
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
My Books
Below are the books I have written.
Ruth Robinson's Year of Miracles
Women Behaving Badly
Dead Ernest
Cassandra's Secret
What a great (and very true) sign, Frances! We've all been there.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I've got company, Rosemary!
DeleteProcrastination can save money.
ReplyDeleteA very good point! Thank you, Graham.
DeleteI've done this a few times in the past but have since changed my shopping habits - at least when it comes to clothes: When I like it and it suits me and I really want it, I'll have it.
ReplyDeleteAh, but can you always afford it, Meike? That's my problem. The things I can just about afford but possibly shouldn't. But on the other hand etc etc ...
DeleteIf we don't buy it straight away, it's either because we can't afford it or don't need it – or possibly both.
ReplyDeleteIt's the things that don't quite fit into either category that are my downfall, Patsy.
DeleteOh, sneaky selling argument... You'll have to apply a different approach not to get stuck in regrets: If I come back tomorrow and it's still there, then it was meant for me. If it's not, then it was not...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure any of my shopping is meant to be, DT (except boring grocery shopping). I'm a compulsive ditherer (if there can be such a thing).
DeleteStill agonising about the clock we should have bought from a market stall in Dundee.
ReplyDeleteIt would hardly have broken the bank.
I really sympathise, L. My party trick is to agonise over a garment, finally decide to buy it, and then find it's sold out.
