Retail Therepy

I am told that the ultimate way to cheer oneself up after a stressful week is to go shopping. Unfortunately I have never really enjoyed shopping unless it is for nuts, bolts, screws and other useful things.
Taking these two things into consideration I thought I should embrace retail therapy in style and buy something useful. I currently walk down the mooring to the car, which I park at the bus stop, I take the bus, and then I walk from the bus stop to work. This takes quite some time, and with the rise in fuel prices and the ozone-unfriendly-one-person-in-a-car syndrome I decided I was using too many forms of transport, and using too much valuable time (about an hour) travelling to and from work, which door to door by car takes about 20minutes.
It was pay day yesterday so I pootled along to one of my favourite shops to have a look around, and this morning I parted with my pay cheque and bought a new toy. I pick it up tomorrow.

I am not sure what affect retail therapy is MEANT to have, but I am feeling rather shocked, anxious, and a little unsure about my bank balance.

The last time I embarked upon such an expensive shopping trip was when my university fee's went into my bank account. I went out the following day, spent them, and then had to explain to the College that my fees were actually sitting outside in the form of a deliciously wonderfully shiny fabulous Bandit 600cc Motorcycle. They were surprisingly supportive.
I haven't gone QUITE so over board, and have purchased a 125Cc instead.

I think it will take me most of the year to recover from my shopping spree, but at least I don't have to worry about having a horrid week anymore, I am in shock!
