I passed a furniture shop while on my way to pick Romeo up from school yesterday. It had a complete clearance sale; everything had to go because the business had failed. I walked on, but...
...I'm one of those kinds of women who, when they're anxious, or stressed, or both, will buy things. Big things, usually. Throwing money at anxiety will not make the feeling disappear, but it will take my mind off it for a while. Sometimes, I will resist the urge, other times I won't. Yesterday was one of the latter times. I turned back and 2 minutes later, had bought a sofa.
A white leather 3-seater, sold to me for less than half its normal retail price
There goes my first advance on my severance pay :(
But I think it's worth it
And it looks like Manasse has already given it his seal of approval
It looks a bit different from the one I was going to buy and saving up for, but at bargain price and with instant delivery thrown in, I just couldn't resist.

I feel your pain - it took me weeks to clean Frank's room. - 8 Jul 2020, 12:16It must be a relief to have seen her sitting and chatting.
I wish you well with the house clearing. I'm not sure if this is helpful - but it took my sister and I at least one full day a week for a… - 8 Jul 2020, 09:11Oh my goodness! I can just feel that horrible sinking in the pit of the stomach when you realised and there was nothing you could do about it.
- 8 Jul 2020, 01:03I'm glad the move went so well. It sounds like it might be a great place for her.

I feel less guilty about buying my laptop when I was broke now!
Funny, that's exactly what the delivery men said when they dropped it off. But then of course, that was the space I had in mind for it when I bought it.

Do you still have it? Do you still use it? And are you broke now? Well then! I hope that in a few more months, my having spent more than I should won't matter, either.
Yep, it has that effect on me, too. But it's a wonderful feeling while that initial thrill lasts!
