Parties..

[surprised]

I only buy stuff if I want to. I often buy the sale stuff and use it for presents. I wouldn't be too stressed about it - go and have a nice time with your friends, but only buy if you want to. Maybe others feel the same way and the craze might peter out a bit?

But yes it is a funny situation! Maybe you could suggest all going out to high tea or something to try to break the cycle?

I refuse to go to any of them. I feel guilty if I don't buy anything.
