What are you thinking about right now? Shopping perhaps?
A survey conducted by Cosmopolitan.co.uk has revealed that women think about shopping every 60 seconds. This equates to around 960 time a day! Cosmopolitan analysed the thoughts of 770 women between 19 and 45 for the study and the results seem to suggest that ladies are as obsessed with shopping as men are with sex.
90% of women would sulk, get stressed and angry if the couldn't find what they were looking for on a shopping trip. Some would even cancel evening plans as a result. It does seem that the thrill can be short lived though, with 13% of women getting bored of a new purchase after just two weeks.
2 in 5 women say they are obsessed by shoes and bags and 49% would prefer to go shopping than spend time with their partner. Even the credit crunch cannot 'stop the shop'. The average woman spends around 30% of her income on clothes.
Anyway I must dash... TopShop calls...

Does the thinking about shopping include - "must remember to get some milk/toothpaste/bog rolls on the way home" kind of thinking about shopping? I'm sure women do more of that kind of thinking about shopping than anyone else.
Wow, really? That seems like a lot! I do see tons of things throughout the course of a day where I think to myself, "I wonder where I could get something like that." But thinking about shopping once a minute seems really frequent.
I definitely agree with the short-lived thrill of shopping; the excitement of most of my new purchases wears off as soon as I wear them once or twice.
Do you happen to have a link to the article? I would love to read more!
