Is it just me who doesn’t like shopping?
1 July 2007
I sometimes wonder if one of the basic and fundamental genes is missing from my make-up. I’m (allegedly) female, but I really don’t enjoy shopping. I’m maybe being a little sexist here, but generally women are perceived as enjoying shopping, spending their husband’s money, meeting friends to ‘go shopping’ etc. I can think of nothing worse.
Like everyone else I need occasionally to buy things. I have little interest in fashion and as long as clothes fit and are ‘fit for purpose’ I wear them. I don’t feel a need to shop weekly for new outfits or the latest trend. However, my two children get through clothes at a rapid rate, so I do need to buy for them more often. Christmas, of course, requires me to buy presents and the breakdown of electrical equipment, such as the washing machine and iron recently.
Even when it is necessary to purchase anything, my first port of call is the world wide web. If I can’t buy on line I’m a bit miffed. Why anyone wants to trudge around busy shopping centres and high streets is beyond me when with a few clicks you can get your goods delivered to your door often free of charge.
I was thinking about recent purchases, my Hoover Aquarius washing machine, Russell Hobbs steam generator iron, PSP, Oral B electric toothbrush, sun cream and even hay fever tablets to name a few and all but the toothbrush and washing machine were bought on line. Even the pet, car and house insurance are bought on line. My next purchases that are lined up include a holiday, travel insurance and barbeque will all be bought from the comfort of my own home. Whilst I can sit and wait for my barbeque to be delivered to my door, I will, sadly, have to leave my home to take full advantage of the holiday!
