Shopaholic? Me?

With the Credit Crunch hitting everywhere shops are really doing their best to sell. The government also contributed to helping sales by reducing VAT to 15%. And this has resulted in amazing prices all over the place. What has really impressed me was the low prices on TV’s. And I am not talking just about regular TV’s, I am also talking about Flat Screens and Plasma TV’s. Mind you, not that I know the difference between them but my hubby can talk the back legs off pixels per square inch and HD and Blu Ray and who knows what else.

Anyway, if you manage to grab hold of a bargain TV, then you really ought to consider upgrading your TV Stand to match your swanky new TV. You can actually go to online shops that sell Just TV stands, which means you can get exactly the stand you want. Bearing in mind that TV stands can actually be heavy (after all they do need to be sturdy to be able take the weight of a tv), which means that delivery can be expensive. Some places actually offer free delivery which makes it ideal.

My only issue… is that I have yet to buy a new TV. Perhaps in the January Sales!

Merry Christmas to everyone at Shopaholic.

Obviously Woolworths is on everyone’s mind. I mean how can a shop that survived 2 world wars, been around 99 years and is a well known house hold name go into administration? They literally sold everything… well almost… I don’t think they sold Taylormade Drivers but you could get everything else, so it does leave me perplexed.

Personally I think that modern times require shops to tie their customers by enticing them with loyalty schemes… Woolworths did not have one.

Today they started their sales, and people went made. I heard people queued for over an hour to pay! I spoke to the manager of Woolworths and he told me that in his 10 years of working at Woolworths, he has never seen anything like this. The queues were twisted around the store. The sales weren’t even that spectacular!

What interests me is that Woolworths is up for sale for £1… but my hubby refused to let me buy it because of all the debt is comes with. Shame!!

Has anyone used any Grow Lights? They are meant to be really good to encourage plant growth but I have never used them before or known anyone to use them. Honestly speaking I don’t have green fingers at all but I try. Interestingly my plants tend to commit suicide… I know one plant jumped 3 floors to get away from me!!
