9. SinceI was a little girl I have always loved shopping. I walked around shops with my
mum, begging her to buy me everything I saw.
Last year I finished university and started earning money for the first time. I havea lot of
sparecashnow, and I spend it all on clothes. I spend about 500$ aweek on
clothes, handbags, and shoes.Walkingout of a shop with abag of new clothes is the
best feeling in theworld.
I need to shop every day. If I can’t go out to shop, I shop online. Entering my credit card
details and waiting for aparcel to arrive is very exciting.
Sometimes I only wear what I buy once, but I never feel guilty. My dad tells me to stop
spending. Hesaysthat I’ve already got a lot more than I need, but I love shopping and
I’m not going tostop yet.
I drink around 18 cans of cola every day. If I don’t drink it for more than an hour, I feel
terrible and I start shaking. It all started 6 years ago when I was on a diet and I drank
cola instead of eating.After afew weeks, I couldn’t live without it.
I have abottle of cola beside my bed and I sometimes wake up at night to drink it. The
first thing I do when I open my eyes in the morning is go to the fridge for acan of cola. I
always carry a can or two in my handbag. I spend about 300$ amonth on cola.
I don’t know if it’s the taste of the caffeine or the sugar,but I know I’m addicted. Friends
and people I work with tell me that drinking cola isn’t good for you. They sayit’s bad for
your stomach, but I like it too much to stop.
