Why is it that whenever I am met with a warm smile by a passerby it kicks starts my day and I think, see there we go haven't I always said that the most touching things in the world still come without a price tag...even though (ahem ahem) I'm the first to confess that I would gladly spend £80 on boots from River Island even though I can't afford them!

It goes something like this, I'll browse in the shops see what I like then say to penniliess myself that I'll come back and if these shoes are still here then I'll buy them...wait for it...that it's meant to be if they are still here when I return...yea right who am I kidding, they have more of my size in stock round the back...well you can't say that I didn't resist from buying them or even finding a way not to...but looking back now the best method would have been to simply remember that...I am not going to have any money in my account after my rationale. But did it work?

As I managed to cajole myself into saying that my feet would be hungry for that particular leather, instead mayby I should have remembered that my body might not be able to function without food.

Obviously I didn't go for the brand...no no no come on daaaaaaaaa, and for days there after I'd love to say I lived happily ever after...but then reality struck and there came a kick up my butt very diplomatically, via my bank invoice!!!
