An altrec moment

Altrec has started sending me daily "Deal of the Day" emails highlighting discounted items.

Let me rephrase that incase it came off as though altrec is spamming me. I actively signed up to receive altrec's daily "Deal of the day" email.

Yes. My appetite for punishment can only be described as gluttony.

So each morning, I log into my email and go through the agonising decision of:
- Ooh. Today it's knee-length striped yellow-and-red wool socks! Do I need those?
- Erm. No. Says the grinch in my head.
- But they're 40% off!!!
- They're ridiculous.

And each morning, I delete the email, sulking periodically at myself for not being able to buy the socks, until the following morning when I am distracted again by "a fur ski mask at 29% off". For some unfathomable reason, I feel the urge to go through this adventure every single day.

Yes. I'm loathe to admit it, but altrec holds sway over the emotional rollercoaster which is my life.

Do you mind if I show you how to "follow" a blog. Well not saying you've to follow mine just "follow" the one that is most interesting. Or maybe you can leave a comment or two on my blog it doesn't have to be a real comment. It can be nonsense that you can delete it I can just click your name then boom I'm here.
