Confessions of a Shopaholic - Sophie Kinsella

We've all done it - decided we're going to give up smoking / eating junk food / spending money, and then convinced ourselves that social smoking doesn't count / one takeaway is fine because it's a treat / I have to buy this book about tips on saving money in order to start saving money. Well, this is what Confessions of a Shopaholic (previously published as 'The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic) is all about.
