i was having lessons today when the store called me to say my shoes had arrived. i asked them to put it on hold for me and ill go see it tmr. then i was just thinking about the lay-by system in Australia. in a way its good cos if you really really want it but don't have the cash you can reserve it (although thats usually not the case), and putting a deposit means they won't release your item to other interest buyers. the lay-by period is usually 6 or 8 weeks depending on the store. and if you actually change your mind, most stores will allow a refund for the deposit although your lay-by fee won't be. but anyway its only around $2 for most stores. the bad part of that, in my case, is that if i really like it, but can't bear to pay so much, yet i can't bear to part with it, ill just put a lay-by so i can take my time to think about it. in the end i always can't bear to let it go cos since i already put it on lay-by, its almost "mine" hahaha.... shopping is a monster thats always out to get me. then again, when im happy i shop, when im bored i shop, when im angry i shop, when im sad i shop, even when im hungry i eat and shop. i can't find a reason not to shop. its so hard to refrain. the good thing about customer service and benefits here is that you can have a full refund for any item, even sale items, if theres a defect, or even if you change your mind. sometimes they would give you a credit note for change of mind items instead of a full refund, so that way you have to spend in that store. but who cares, as long as i get my money back in some form right?

its bad...for people like me, lay-by is bad. and damn it...today daph purposely made a date with me to go for the fashion show on the 5th knowing that my body is obviously stuck here. but nvm my mind will be there. hahaha. ahhhh i can't wait to go back and get all my stuff that i have been buying back there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
