Many
of us are living for the buzz of the doorbell – spending billions we
can’t afford on stuff we don’t need. Here is how to recognise the
problem and regain control
In
the past fortnight, I have bought the following items online: a hideous
cat tree that takes up most of my living room, a lavender pillow spray,
two scarves, a pair of gloves, two candles, a sheet mask, a pair of
fleece-lined jogging bottoms (so comfy!), a card-holder and an under-eye
brightening cream. None of these purchases were essential. Many I
haven’t even taken out of the packaging, leaving them in a pile by the
front door.
