Do you buy stuff when bored?

    Lately I have been quite bored... my latest projects are finished and running so workload is at low levels again. I get fed up of browsing around and just go visit the local mall and see what I find. Today I bought a new nice watch. I have bought loads of clothes, and ordered a new PC from Dell, got a wireless router and all kind of crap...

    Does this happen to you? I seem to be just looking around to see what new stuff I can buy... glad there is only one Mall where I live!

    Simply can't afford it. I don't even 'window shop' just in case I'm tempted. No willpower. No money. Not a good combination.

    Totally, I bought a new 3 monitor PC, some remote control toys (for my son:D ) a holiday and an adventure weekend for 4 of my mates mainly due to the fact I am also kind of quiet as far as projects go just now and need my attention taken up with something.

    lol, i dont have money either so when i go i go window shopping and if i have money enough to spend, i do the impulse buying thing, when necessary, but im cheap so my fav places are walmart, big lots and the 99 cent store and discount places and thrift shops and stuff like that.

    Shopping makes me HAPPYYYY! Honestly though, I rarely go because I'm a nearly broke college student. Sigh.

    I only get that at airports. I normally arrive 5 minutes before latest check-in time to minimize waiting time but if I accidently arrive early then I normally spend my time spending my money. Most of clothes are bought at airports actually, same with CDs, aftershave etc. (the rest online of course :) )

    I bought a new computer, but only because my old one broke.

    OK I splurged on a video card as well...but only because I got a scholarship to uni and won't be paying - HA!

    This thread is making me depressed….:(

    Today I walked “exercise” into town and saw a bunch of things that I would really like to buy:

    Mountain bike: 890 euros
    Rip Curl Sun glasses: 90 euros
    Hawaiian Style T-shirts: 50 euros each
    Nice Sandals: 90 euros

    This is me crying :(

    Get me in a wal mart, grocery store, or any store.
    And leave me alone, I will fill out a cart full of stuff.
    So wife has learned, do not let hubby on his own!
    One time, must of bought like $100 worth of candy!
    Justified to wife, saying this is for the grandkids...LOL
    Except for the chocolate covered cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and nuts...those were mine! All mine!
