We Are Living In A Precarious Time.....

....... when none of us know what’s around the corner. So is it making you look at things differently or are you carrying on regardless?

I have changed a bit and l am spending money like it’s going out of fashion! Anything l fancy... l buy!!
Hence, l had steak tonight and my cupboards and fridge are
full of luscious foods.

Well?...

... carrying on regardless, chin up & all that

or so I thought. Until I find I've got £ms in the bank. What is there to spend it on? What are we allowed to spend it on?

Re: We Are Living In A Precarious Time.....

I'm a spender, I love to spend but during the last lockdown I barely spent anything and now I've got spare money in the bank so right now I'm looking for a new dining table and chairs and I can't make up my mind which one to buy.

We are also savers, I did the penny challenge all this year and so far we've saved almost £500, I bagged it all up in plastic money bags from the bank the other night, it took ages, sorting out all the different coins but I'll be damned if I'm going to give that coin star anymore of my hard earned cash.

In Tesco the other night, in the clothes department there were snazzy, dazzly and glizty Christmas clothes and I'm thinking, hmmmm who's gonna buy those, we might not even be able to go out anywhere!

Have I gone off topic? Sorry if I have.

LQ, You haven’t gone off topic at all.

I received a £5 voucher from Tesco for their clothing line if you want it! Ha!

I think it is when you strip naked and place a penny between your knees. Then you have to pass it around using just your knees and not be left with it when the music stops. is that correct?

I can't think of a single thing to do that is safe anymore, except, perhaps go fishing.

Clearly, C-19 is here to stay. One hell of a miserable way to spend our last days.
