Economic Living Is The Exercise

I came back to bed with my coffee this morning. Because I can......

DS2 came in to tell me there's a crisis. We've run out of Kellogg's Nutrigrain bars (AKA making your own breakfast :rotfl:) I told him we can't have because some came in the Tesco Delivery we had last weekend.
Well get childline on speed dial :eek:I'm such a bad parent I mistakenly put cereal bars in the biscuit drawer instead of the breakfast drawer :eek: I've literally been ordered out of bed to correct my mistake. He stood over me whilst I took them out of one drawer and put them in the right place

I resisted the urge to chuck a packet of Jaffa cakes in the breakfa
st drawer :rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl

You have a breakfast and a biscuit drawer? Are they deep ones like pan drawers?

MY OH also thinks a muesli bar is breakfast. I said to him why don't he can't take actual muesli or granola to work. He said he has work for a living. I said what us wrong with filling a Tupperware box the night before and putting that and a banana into your work handbag. It fell on deaf ears.

Usually his shirts go onto a hanger and then they are hung onto a metal rail at the top of the stairs, the long corridor is ideal for drying. At the mo we still have the builder in so instead his shirts went out on the line on hangers (I am trying to do the minimum of washing as I've nowhere to put anything)
4 days later having been dried and wet several times I suggested to OH that he might like to take his shirts off the line so he did.
I've just found them this morning. OH had managed to get them, 4 shirts being very heavy and weighty and unmanageable, he had hung them on an over the door hook in the dining room.
So I suggested he might actually like to take them upstairs this time - perhaps I wasn't specific enough when I said take them off the line - and put them in his wardrobe.
I have no idea what he has against putting things into his own wardrobe

No you don't :rotfl::rotfl:
It's a minefield :eek: We have 7 drawers, mainly to suit DS2 need to categorise everything.
Snack drawer (for items that don't fit in any other drawer) This is the cause of many disagreements
Sweet drawer
Crisp drawer
Biscuit Drawer
Breakfast drawer
Cake and bun drawer (Where Jaffa cakes lived in the days of 'are they a cake or a biscuit' they now live in the biscuit drawer)

Cracker drawer. This contains at all times, one solitary box of crackers that he cannot bring himself to put anywhere else. They're not sweet enough to be biscuits and have (in his mind) only one function.....to have cheese put on them , so not random enough for the snack drawer.

This sounds like a nightmare to organise and keep at a suitable level of fullness

I was in the same boat but it is so easy to get a freebie sim, then find an old unlocked mobile in the man drawer to use it in to receive the text code for the app. Gutted if I missed the deals though through not getting around to it!

This used to work fine for me but now it keeps logging me out and asking for a new code

Every time I read stuff like this I get annoyed at myself for not sorting out O2 Priority:mad:
Morning Delta.....sorry I can't help:o

Me neither - we have a house full of elderly phones but OH says none of them are suitable for the O2 sim. He keeps saying all we need to do is pay £20 to get a phone unlocked - no we don't, that negates the freebies and no one else on the planet has paid £20 to unlock a phone to use the 02 sim to get freebies - I don't think he quite gets it

Wow, that's a lot of different drawers. What would go in the snack drawer then? I can't think of anything that wouldn't already be categorised into one of the other drawers!

Yes normal people do take their breakfast with them to work

I think my OH sometimes works on the least ammount of effort principle even if the alternative requires just a bit of forethought ...

They are two sets of 4 very ugly plastic drawers. They live in the welly room. The eighth drawer is empty because there's no more categories to fill it. He likes to have all his categories seperate and who am I to argue? He also has exclusive use of the top shelf in the fridge.
You can't eat as much as a chocolate button from one of those drawers without him knowing about it :eek:

Your shirts :rotfl::rotfl: I can so identify with this. Laundry in this house goes on the equivalent of a world tour before it reaches its final destination :rotfl:

Good morning all. Does anyone know if O2 priority still do whsmith meal deals for £1 on a Monday? Its not on the app and Google has not helped me. I'm sure a colleague of mine gets this every week though - does it appear on the app on Mondays? I need to know whether to make sandwiches for tomorrow because I'm not paying nearly £4 for lunch! (Realise there's a boots version, but don't have one close enough to work)

Usually, but not always. Plus the codes do run out, so you then have to wait to see if they issue more or go without!

according to this (comments), they might have last week
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/o2priority-enjoy-your-1-lunch-boots-every-monday-2281709
they should show up at about 10am, disappear at 3pm
