    I have a bizarre leaning towards metallic blue puffa jackets and have bought around half a dozen of them over the years and never worn any of them :o

    Sorry ali but that is just downright weird. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think you must have some sort of underlying condition that gets to surface every now and then when your hormones weaken your normal defence system. :D

    Most women want to buy normal things like chocolate and alcohol....not metallic blue puffa jackets. :rotfl:

    I'm going to be smiling about that all day now. :D

    The only thing that I end up overbuying in the run up is chocolate, biscuits and cake, as I seem to get supercravings for them.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I always end up nearly buying bright or patterned clothing, and I can carry off neither. I used to actually buy them years ago, and always wondered why I had done that because I would never wear them. Then I read an article in a magazine about crazy purchases linked to you cycle, and realised that was what I was doing, so now I don't shop at that time.

  • Why not, when you can blame it on PMT? Seems fair to me.

    Blimey I've heard PMT blamed for a lot but seriously, puffa jackets?

    On a more serious note though, is it really such a problem? Can't you just return it (and any subsequent) to the store. Conveniently most stores offer a 28 day return......... actually, is that how they decided to make it 28 days?:rotfl::rotfl:
