Home sweet home

I'm back from the US.  Happy to be home... Happy to be back in a country where good coffee is appreciated and readily available.

My return on Saturday morning was marked by the usual - doing our laundry and restocking our fridge AND buying a few bundles of coat hangers from IKEA :)

Needless to say, all of my culling efforts over the past 9 months have been undone and my renewed enthusiasm for shopping has caused my past shopaholism to resurface... in my lunch break today I bought two pairs of shoes, even though I originally set out to buy chicken for tonight's dinner.

Back to the drawing board...

  1. Oops... Hehehe.

    I was the same when I got back from the US, still on the shopping high. Have managed to rein it in again though - you will too!

    (Can't wait to see posts of your purchases...!)

  3. I've been anticipating your posts! Looking forward to seeing your USA purchases too. I know what you mean about the shopaholic in you resurfacing, it's a hard monster to keep a bay lol

  6. Thanks everybody for your comments! Life and work has gotten in the way of my blogging and culling... will be back shortly.

    @anon - Finding acceptable (not even GOOD) coffee should not be like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. I finally did manage find a delicious coffee in Chicago at Intelligentsia :)
