Since I 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 have a lot of spare cash now, and I spend it all on clothes. I spend about 500$ a week on clothes,
handbags, and shoes. Walking out of a shop with a bag of new clothes is the best feeling in the world. I
need to shop every day. If I cant go out to shop, I shop online. Entering my credit card details and
waiting for a parcel 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. He says that Ive already got a lot more than I need, but I love
shopping and Im not going to stop yet.
Tracey The colaholic
I drink around 18 cans of cola every day. If I dont 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 a few
weeks, I couldnt live without it. I have a bottle 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 a can of cola. I
always carry a can or two in my handbag. I spend about 300$ a month on cola. I dont know if its the
taste of the caffeine or the sugar, but I know Im addicted. Friends and people I work with tell me that
drinking cola isnt good for you. They say its bad for your stomach, but I like it too much to stop.
