There is a little shopping monster that lives inside me. I reckon his name is probably Boris or something similar, it feels like it should be a Boris, or maybe a Bert? No, it's definitely Boris. Anyway, Boris has an appetite, a BIG appetite, and when it comes to shopping once he's started he doesn't know how to stop until he's completely full up on shiny, new, exciting things. Boris forced me into Topman today after work, I did try resisting but when Boris wants something, he usually gets it. Now I don't have a lot of money currently, despite the fact that payday was less than a week ago (let's just say any sort of budgeting has gone out of the window this month with the amount of birthday's, trips home, planned nights out etc I have this month...), but within minutes of entering the store I was holding onto 3 pairs of jeans, a cardigan, and 3 t-shirts. Ha.

I shall be parading these around
the office tomorrow... |
Unfortunately for Boris I won this war, and only came away with one pair of lovely green stretch skinny jeans (see picture to the left!). However, had I the required funds available in my account I would now also have a matching purple pair, and a matching yellow pair. Do I need 3 pairs of the same jeans in different colours? Well yes actually, especially as I already have them in mustard, burgundy, and blue. It's essential to have a variety of colours, ready for any occasion!! And I feel that Boris will eventually get his way, regardless of the level of poorness. Where there's a will, there's a way. And there is a very big will...
Oh, and just to avoid any confusion, Boris is purely fictional. I am the shopping monster. I need to be controlled, not Boris. Maybe I need to find myself a little voice of reason, perhaps called Susan, that could live inside me telling me not to shop. Maybe not, life is too short, why not spend it shopping? Boris rules.
That is all.
