These people do not want to sell clothes at all. They are selling a dream. The dream of being slim enough to wear their clothes and being as sexy as the clothes themselves once we are able to wear them.

Why spending on clothes is fine
1. Good clothes are an investment in one`s career.
2. Good clothes are an investment in one`s relationship.
3. Wearing good clothes raise self esteem. Ideally, noone should own any clothes who do not do this for their owner.
4. Good clothes last much longer. They keep their shape and colour and do not shrink after the first wash. They are investment and, in the end, less expensive and much less wasteful.
5. If clothes make us feel good we will wear them more often. If clothes make us feel frumpy, we will wear them less frequently. Better cost per wear and much more fun!

on Facials and Cosmetic Surgery
Today, I had a Beau Visage facial analysis. This is offered free of charge at http://www.medicalternatives.co.uk/ and investigates damage done by lifestyle factors. Obviously, they`ll aim to sell, but this is up to you.
My skin is not as sun damaged as I thought. I used to visit sunbeds twice a week and did not always use a high enough sun screen.
The red spots on my cheek are burst vessels - that`s also good to know, as I can stop searching for creams which make them disappear.
It could be corrected by laster treatment, but this is very expensive. I would need several treatments at £120 a go. The beautician suggested that the NHS may fund this if it bothers me a lot.
This suggestion actually distressed me. A few spots on my chin. There are people who suffer from life threatening cancer and need to wait for chemotherapy and have life saving medication denied because of the cost. Other women go abroad for plastic surgery because it is cheaper, and then they come back and need the damage mended on the NHS. I don`t think it`s right. Women who have cosmetic surgery (or their surgeons) should be prepared to pay for any damage to be fixed.

Reading
Enjoy reading? Browse in your local libarary instead of the book shop! If you are looking for a particular title they may be able to order it for you. You can usually keep a book for three weeks, which will make you actually read it.
If you are anything like me, you`ll probably have collected loads of books over the years which you never actually read. Your library will also be happy to accept donations of your unwanted books, regardless of their state. Do you really need to own and keep every book you`ve read?
I sell some of my better and more valuable books on ebay or amazon, but for the cheaper ones, it`s often more hassle than it is worth. So I used to donate them to charity shops, but since I started using librarys I like the thought of giving something back to them. Libraries are usually underfunded, and it would be a shame for them to disappear! They need your support!

Bathroom shelves
Apart from having one thing less to clean, I noticed another thing since we have ditched those two shelves: we are more able to resist special offers of certain toiletteries because there is no longer as much space to stock them. "Hoarding", as I call it, and buying things which were not really needed used to be an issue in this house, and I`m really pleased about this lovely side effect! :-)
