My purchases for the past three weeks

Normally I'm pretty good at not spending money. Sometimes, however (like when I'm sad) I don't think about things before I buy. I was just thinking before about what I'd bought over the last few weeks and realised how unnecessary most of it is. I mean, sure, it made me feel good to buy it and have it and all the rest, but do I really need it?

So I've decided to start a new section on this blog: my weekly purchases. Of course, since this is the first post, it'll be my purchases for the last few weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to look at things properly this way and note how much I'm spending and why I'm spending it. Kind of like the Great No Shopping For Lucy Or She Buys Us Booze challenge Lucy went through last year, except I'm not promising a bar tab at the end. Sorry, guys.
