Maybe this is just a 'me' thing...
Say you have, I dunno, 100 somethings and you think to yourself 'hmm. I really should have stopped at 70, I don't need all of these, I think I'll have a clear out.'
So you have a clear out and get rid of 10 whatevers. Not as many as you should, but as many as you could bare to part with.
Then you feel so happy with yourself you decide to buy 15 MORE thingy-bobs as a 'well-done to you' kind of a treat.
Anyone help me with the logic?!
