Window Shopping

Post by Richard »

Is anyone like me and likes to just stroll around Shops just looking?

It's that kind of pretending you've got loads of dosh with the pretence that one day you may be able to afford the various things you see.

Personally I like the PC Worlds and Garden Centre type places, can't be bothered with Clothes, they're boring !!

PS. I should say I don't have any Credit Cards, so I'm not tempted if I haven't got the cash :-D

I love window shopping, also internet window shopping too Richard )t' :-D

Whenever I see a Mullllberrry bag collection I have to have a little look and a drool +f+

This is one of my favourite websites:

Benny I know how you feel about Mulllberry. One day... one day....

When Izzy and I were shopping at Bicester, we went into the mullberrry shop. I found my favourite bag and it was reduced by quite a lot. My friend looked at it and said "Oh... 5 50, that's a bargain!" (she was serious) to which I laughed and said "I wish!" Bless Izzy who was only 8 - she took the bag up to the till and tried to buy it, she thought we meant £5.50, not £550 {rofwl} {rofwl}

I've just spent £460 on my car tax and mot so there will be no shopping for me {cry} even window shopping feels expensive at the moment.

My niece (bless her) has bought me for the last 4 Xmas's a Radley handbag,something I have window shopped for but did not think I could justify the price,I don't know about you but I rarely change my handbag as I forget to transfer everything.
Ps mY Sister also gets me every Xmas!Why Don't they talk? They don't unfortunately.
Be the way I am a fan of window shopping and purchasing!

I love window shopping outside a jewellers! The rings draw me like a magnet. There is also a beautiful small ladies clothes shop which attracts me, but mainly only to look.
