2 degrees today! Baby hamper contents. Spendy shopping day.

June 12th, 2009 at 05:13 am

Today has been a nice day, a bit busy but overall nice to be able to get some things done and then know that I still have the weekend off Smile

It was 2 degrees celcius this morning. I wanted to get up and have a coffee with DF before he went to work at 6am, but it was so nice in bed that I just lay there until 8.30! I really need to get out of that habit I have been forming. Sleep ins are good, but only once in a while!

I had breakfast with my friend (pancakes with strawberries, which I am also counting as my lunch!) and totally forgot about the 15% public holiday surcharge. So all up coffee and pancakes was $20.85.

Then I went shopping for the baby hamper supplies. I spent just under $30 and got: and 80 pack of baby wipes, baby powder, baby lotion, nappy rash cream, a 6 pack of face washers, two pairs of newborn socks and two singlets. I decided to wrap everything individually and put it in one of those big gift bags. The $30 includes the gift bag and wrapping paper too Smile

I bought myself two black long sleeved skivvys too, $20 for both. I realised the other day I don't have anything except t-shirts that isn't a V-neck!

Also bought another coffee for the drive home ($4.85) and a jewellery magazine for $19.95. It's about 200 pages so hopefully this well help me translate to the jewellery designer what I want.

I could have spent more money today, but I didn't seem to be in a spendy mood, which was good!

Also though, I realised that while I have been nagging at DF about him spending more than his allowance each week, I realised I have too, for the past two weeks! Frown But I know that the next two weeks I won't spend much, and this will keep the average down.

    LOL. When you said two degrees C I didn't believe you... it's bordering 100 degrees F here. And then I remember that you are waaaaay over there. Different seasons.

    Why is there a holiday surcharge? Is it on all items or just food?

    cassandra: it is generally just restaurants, cafes and entertainment places (bowling alleys, cinemas etc) that have a 15% surcharge on a holiday, mainly because employees are paid double time and a half to work on these days. Smile (if i worked, i would get $55 an hour. *sigh*)
