£129 DS’s main birthday present

Was going to stock up on my skincare (been substituting with cheap stuff for a few months) this evening but feel like I might need to hold that off now.

2 drinks from Greggs with a gift voucher

£1.60 pick a mix for cinema and used my cineworld membership for the film.

YourWinter · 31/01/2026 18:57

None.

I drove four miles to drop a Vinted parcel at the nearest post office that does Evri. I sold the item for £1. I intended to drive a further two miles to the supermarket but decided I couldn’t face the Saturday morning car park and went home instead, gave the dogs a short walk then fell asleep on the sofa for two hours.

The round trip to the post office cost more in diesel than I made on the sale, which is why I’d intended to incorporate it into a shopping trip, it was stupid.
