Retail therapy

Retail therapy

I'm having a great time at a shopping centre! I feel a bit more peaceful today. I love shopping, I cope with life a lot better when I can do shopping. Who else agrees?

Hi @Former-Member

I tend to do online shopping like @Bunniekins here

My main weakness is music CDs...I'm almost literally out of room in my room...!

But I find the searching and purchasing enjoyable...and of course the music is Definitely therapeutic

I also love online shopping @Jo-anne-Joy. I do my online shopping on days I don't have a support worker and I like to buy take-away food to be delivered at home whenever I don't feel up to cooking.

Hi @Eve7 yeah sometimes shopping can be difficult when there's not many car parks available and too many people. For me, sometimes I'm ok with crowds, sometimes I'm not. It just depends on my mood and how well I coping each day.

@LostAngel I love clothes shopping! I have too many clothes at this point though so will give clothes shopping a break for a few months. Today I had a coffee and hot dog. On Wednesday I'll be eating lunch out somewhere, haven't decided yet haha! Lol I drink coffee every day ya know! I need to cut back on the coffee I think. Instead of having a coffee tonight, I had a large mug of hot chocolate instead. I hope you are well today!

Cool @StuF I like music as well! i listen to it on my HomePod from time to time. My biggest weakness with online shopping is books and non-perishable food items. I also like to do a lot of auto-delivery services as well, so now I have to keep track of when to allow for, and skip my deliveries so I don't over-spend or end up with more than I need each week lol!
