It's definitely a girl thing but there's nothing like some retail therapy to hit the spot when you're having a dose of the blues.
Call me shallow but a sure fire way to cheer me up is to head me in the general direction of the stores. I'm lucky enough to live near Bath which is not only one of the most beautiful cities in the world but also has some cracking shops.
It's also important to have the right companion for a truly successful shopping extravaganza. Mine is my best friend. She and I are shopping soulmates. We have it down to a fine art now.
The next thing to remember is that when you're feeling a bit sad, DON'T shop for clothes because you'll only come home empty handed and depressed. There's nothing worse than standing in a changing room thinking 'oh great, not only do I feel like shit but I look fat too' to pitch a girl headlong into a deep gloom.
The answer? Shoes! You can't go wrong with shoes. So, four pairs of shoes later, I'm feeling so much better........
