Boots, book, toys

I have finally come to the realisation that I am a shopaholic. I am not sure when it started but it did. Why else did I buy a pair of boots which I don't need but was the last available pair in my size? Or why would I be buying a signed book on Artemis Fowl even as I have never heard of the book? And how bout the little toy dog which bears no significance of UK nor the county I was visiting? Someone, stop me!!!!
