another small triumph

I have just cracked something I have never managed before - not buying anything in a Duty Free shop! Well, to be more correct, I did buy a couple of bottles of alcohol for the people we were staying with on the way in to NZ, but on the way back - nada.

No alcohol, no perfume, no lipstick, no nothing. I had an epiphany that went 'I don't need to buy this now because this stuff will always be here.' (And I did have a bit of a flashback to the five or so full bottles of perfume I gave away a couple of months ago because I didn't wear it ...)

If I decide I really want something I can get it. But I don't need it now. And odds are I may never need or want it ...
