I know! The things we celebrate 🤣!

I am cream crackered 😓 Been out for a walk/run/step climb (that's both days done this weekend), showered, batch-cooked more lunches (I know I said I didn't need to, but aubergines are on offer in Lidl again, so thought I'd take advantage), done a load of washing and hung it up, put away last night's clean dishes and washed up a load more - and it's not even 10.00am 😮!
I need to go into town in a bit, and I'm seriously lacking the enthusiasm/energy (except I've been putting it off for weeks and now I really need to go into town). I'm using the excuse that the shops aren't open yet to have a little sit down, and ignoring the fact that by the time I'm dressed and in town they will be!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Right, town done ✔ I've also taken my stepladder back downstairs (been annoying me for weeks), wrestled with a keyring and set a lateral flow test going. I am definitely now having a sit down!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Why were you wrestling with a keyring?2

Because it refused to yield enough to allow another key onto it 😡! And I was hot and sweaty and sticky from walking back from town and it made me hotter and sweatier and stickier - and angry!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I have been known to track my finger in them, very annoying. Hopefully a cup of tea has now put me to rightsSouth_coast said:Because it refused to yield enough to allow another key onto it 😡!

No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

Do you have a bottle opener? A narrow one can be used to open up the key ring.
I can hear your increasing rage now that you've read my helpful hint. Mwahahahahahha #givingadvicetoolatetobeuseful4
