Out with the old, in with the new

As a am a list Nazi, this entry is only about lists. Okay, okay ... it's only two lists. Pretty simple lists at that. The first is all the stuff that's bound for charity and the second is all an entire and honest list of all my purchases (except essential items) over the past month.

STUFF FOR PERMANENT DISPOSAL:

• Jeans (x2) (which I can get on and off over my hips without undoing the button or zip!)
• Black pants (which once fit but are now soooo big I look like I have no arse when I wear them and the crotch is located mid-thigh. Noice1)
• Black pleated skirt (below knee) (I never wore this but it's not even sexy!)
• White skirt (ankle length) (how on earth did I think a white skirt on a size 20 arse looked good?!)
• Cargo pants (x2) (too big & too old - 4 years+)
• Several blouses & tops (size 18-20 & XL)
• Crusty housewear (which honestly, is so hideous it shouldn't even be worn when no one's looking!)
• Underwear (too big &/or too holey!)
• Black & dusky pink 3/4” heels (I no longer need to wear low heels as the balls of my feet don't hurt anymore when wearing proper heels ... & besides they've accumulated a little mould along the way!)
• Black boots
• Black flip flops (very beaten up)
• x2 handbags
• Old makeup

AND THE NEW?:

• Jeans
• 3/4 denim pants
• Yoga clothes (tights & singlet for Bikram)
• An array of tops (including two mediums!)
• Strapless summer dress (in grey, pink & black)
• Corset & knickers
• Bras (underwire & strapless)
• Brown cardigan
• Black jacket
• Shoes: boots - in brown & black (different styles) & a pair of black kitten platforms
• Suede gloves (after leaving my black mittens on the tube accidentally!)
• Hand crocheted beanie
• Pashmina scarves (x3)
• Patterned tights
• Accessories (earrings and a bling-bling fake ring)
• Makeup & brushes
• Body Shop body products
• Dermalogica face wash & cream
• Tresemme hair curler
• Oral B electric toothbrush and accessories
• Books: Nigel Slater Cookbook; Debritt’s Etiquette for Girls handbook & Wedding Blessings
• 2007 diary (in silver)
• DVDs: CSI – seasons 4 & 5; Just Like Heaven; Shooting Dogs & Take the Lead
• CDs: Acoustic Love, Beyonce & The Killers
• Box of Jasmine Blossom tea imported from China
• Tulips (for the house)
• Small Christmas presents including: chocolates (from Thornton’s) and gorgeous bamboo and green tea shower gel (from Sen)

Um, is it just me or is the 'something new' list disproportionally longer?! LOL! It's funny ... I use hate shopping but now I'm kinda starting to enjoy it (as you can well see!). Although I'm not convinced my bank will be happy about this new found interest!
