l don’t post a lot but l browse a lot and a few years ago l read about people having different bank accounts for pots of money. This year l had Holiday spending money, birthday money for both kids and car insurance money all saved. My car has just this morning had its MOT and failed on a tyre, when the mechanic came and told me l thought oh no and took it out of my Christmas savings and wondered who l am going to cut off my present list. Then l noticed l still had enough in my car account , l was so relieved but l think l am still going to Christmas list down. As l was going to my car a man passed me and said to his child “mind the lady” and l thought my god!!!! I am officially an adult.

fyi - l am 46, 2 kids and married with a full time job 🤣🤣🤣

I had one of those today too. I needed a stamp and I realised I had some ready to go in my purse. I usually beg one off my Mam Grin.

In my mind adults always have stamps about their person.

I emptied all the bins in the house and put it out for the bin men this morning. This makes me feel the most grown up ever.

well done on savings OP!

(and I have stamps)

The day before we went on holiday I put 4 pints of milk in the freezer. The night we got back I actually REMEMBERED I'd done it and got it out to defrost ready for cereal / coffee the next morning.

Hands down the most adult I've felt ever.

Sadly I promptly un-adulted by washing my skirt with a bright red napkin in the pocket and covered everything else in the wash with bright red tissue.🙄

@BellaGoth 🤣🤣🤣

My un-adult moment will come at some point today and all will be right with the world.

My “adult” moment came when an elderly neighbour came to me (!😲😂) for help and I had to organise an ambulance.

obviously I fucked up and gave the wrong house number…

My big “I’m an adult” moment was carefully strapping my iMac into the passenger seat of my sensible family car, taking it to get repaired and then collecting it two days later, strapping it in again for the ride home. And feeling smug because I thought to seat belt it in so it wouldn’t slide off the seat. Literally did the buckle up - click! - and thought, wow I’m a grown up
