Just taken delivery of a bag that I used to lust after but was way out of my price range back when I was selling them in the Apple Store.
Truth is, it’d still likely be out of my price range now if I hadn’t idly visited the company’s website yesterday and spotted that it was 60% off. Although, even at the reduced price I’d not have considered it a few years back.
I’m still not quite used to being in a position where I can afford to buy myself nice things, but it does feel good not to be constantly worrying about money. This purchase in particular has really pulled into focus just how much my life has changed over the past five years or so.
The huge veg boxes Lidl have started selling. A massive tray of veg that's almost on the turn for £1.50. Random stuff, fun to experiment with (I'll be honest, I've never used dill before), almost as cheap as chips nd healthy AF. Good stuff.
I've just installed a motion activated water sprinkler in garden to get the neighbors cat that keeps shitting in it. If this doesn't work I'm getting a shotgun.
On the other end of the scale, this mob are in my work every week:
And just.... What? What does it mean?? I can imagine the head honcho is some guy nobody likes, in the office one day cracks that punchline, poor wee receptionist lassie cracks a nervous chuckle and he thinks "y'know what, I'll make that our punchline, that's class that". It fucking enrages me.
Unions. Looks like I’m getting a 7% pay rise, an extra two days on my holiday allowance this year, an additional two days next year, plus a £500 bonus. Woo!
