Oh yes, at first glance I'm like "want! want! want!" and could talk myself into buying it... then I think about what that cash could go towards if I was abroad... is it better to pay £100 for a table? or £100 on a week or more of accommodation, or a few excursions or a few slap up meals?
Exactly. Switch off the computer and stop buying crap you don't need.
Look around your house, I'll bet you already have everything you need for a comfortable home. Keep buying groceries of course, you still have to EAT after all.
Look at your wardrobe. When was the last time you wore that thing you keep meaning to throw out? When was the last time you bought something new?
Exactly. Why don't you bloody well WEAR that old thing and not buy that new dress you saw the other day and just have to have?
You'll easily save a couple of hundred quid over a month or so (if you're anything like me anyway) which will go towards a flight to a sunny destination - that's better than a new dress isn't it?
P.S. I'm more than happy if anyone wants to buy me that table as a gift, by the way.
