So I did…. the story is this:
Meg fell down the stairs on Tuesday. I emotionally decided that I needed a stairgate NOW. I could have got one on eBay, but I decided it didn’t to be sorted NOW. So I went into Ashford. Slightly in my favour, I bought it from an independent baby shop, but I did buy it. And I felt a lot better. Sorry, true.
Never underestimate emotions and consumption. In fact I have been buying food as ‘treats’ rather than stuff – not great for diets. Ho hum. And I still go on eBay to get shopping ya-yas. So the question is: Have I slipped back into consumption patterns from before the project? I will write another post about plans for after Mid-Winter some other time. The point is, this is just the beginning, not a 6 month break from spending. I feel I have so far to go, that cannot be addressed in the time of this project.
