You pay more using the apps (at least where I live).... but my organisation means I never get stung by things like not having enough change and having to pay more
I travel up and down the country and have never come across this before.
How does that even work?
You must live in the only area in the country that paying by actual money with its extra expense of having to get someone to empty the machines is not only a different price but “cheaper”
Around here it is £2.20 per hour and you have to pay by phone.
Having said that, today it is free parking in any bays and on single yellow lines.
As for the Boxing Day sales
From what I have seen people show me they have bought in the Next sale it all looks like jumble sale items.
Do you actually need anything or is it just buying for buying sake because that is what you have scheduled
How can you live for the now if you don’t know what you’re doing next
Ultimately no one can know what they are doing next as fate has a hand of kicking the chair away just as you sit down.
Given the global problems we have there is no way I would book a holiday months in advance.
I do know someone who is almost exactly like you.
She had list upon list of schedules. One was from when she was 15
Get a degree
Qualify In another profession
Get married
Have a child
Live abroad
All of these things she achieved
She is quite proud of what she has ticked off her list despite her family looking on in horror and at the time trying to tell her that it would all end in tears if she didn’t stop planning.
Her marriage didn’t last because once she had ticked off Get Married from her list She just moved on to the next thing on her list.
Her child was just another box ticking exercise.
She couldn’t get her mind round that her child wanted to spend time with their mum playing or just doing stuff that had no purpose.
Spending time with her child had to be whilst doing something else.
Time has passed and she is a very lonely woman.
Her child is grown up and has a life of her own and sees more of her aunts, uncles, father and grandparents than she does her mother.
Friend is only just realising that her child, and her family are one unit and she isn’t part of it as they plan to do something in the here and now and she needs a years notice.
Friend has I think tunnel vision. She doesn’t see what is going on around her. She only sees what she wants and if someone comes along with her then she can tick off spend time with X/Y/Z etc
Most people don’t do 7 months planning for Christmas.
I think most people though got to eat a Christmas Dinner, open presents and have a good day.
Just because I haven’t booked my 2020 holiday doesn’t mean I won’t be going on holiday.
It is perfectly possible to go through life without planning every detail.
I think how dull life would be if everything is scheduled down to the last minute.
Dd went to the local supermarket a few weeks ago and sat in the car laughing and making up different scenarios about a funny incident we saw just as we were parking.
We sat in the car laughing for about 45 minutes.
Guess what? We didn’t schedule that bit of fun
