Guess that credit card I just paid off is longer paid off 🤷‍♀️

Just delightful. This jumper lies at the very intersection of my core interests. The only downside is that it won't arrive in time for my office Christmas party, the dress code of which is – appropriately – 'GLAMOUR PUSS' (🫥). I may wear a printout of it instead. Plus other clothes.

Now I feel bad for my behaviour at yesterday’s team meeting after I indignantly said: “I don’t own a sodding* Christmas jumper” when someone suggested we wear them for our work Christmas lunch. However, I’m looking forward to its arrival as “casually elegant with a repulsive message” is exactly the look I want to portray when wearing a Christmas jumper.

*I said something stronger than sodding.

I’ve clearly had to purchase this (and a mystery box because I have a serious addiction to WAS merch!) There’s even a chance it’ll arrive in time for an outing in the last week of term! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

An addiction to merch from bands you like is a good one to have. My office at work has become an overflow for my band merch.

100% agree! I’m using addiction in the very best sense of the word. Excellent strategy to have an overflow space too!

Sadly I can't keep my band shirts in my office. I can't stop buying them.

Ha! We should have a count up. It’s currently the only form of clothing I buy.

At a guess I'm in the low 30s for shirts and jumpers. A couple of the bands I like keep reprinting their old shirts from the 90s and clearly I have to buy them.

I might be up at around 50? I have 20 WAS and Black Honey alone 🙈 I just think it’s a great way to support a band when you see them on tour.

One could say that was a cynical move but I’d be all over it tbf 😂

Turns out my mum is really mad at me for buying this as she was eyeing it up to get me for Christmas 😭

To quote Mr. Smithers when Malibu Stacy was re-released but 'now with hat', I want it I want it I want it I want it

Being born and living in Pakistan à la the LONG con is finally paying off with me ordering the mystery box via the UK store and getting cheaper shipping than US fans -- in girl math terms I have turned a profit by simply purchasing this

This is reasoned argument at its finest!
