and in this house that means it's Pizza night. It used to also be Bourbon night, but it just feels wrong/weird to drink by myself (whether the kids are here or at their dads).
The good thing about getting pizza when I'm by myself is that it lasts three meals :) - don't have to worry about what's for lunch over the weekend. AND it costs only $6.00 - three meals for $6.00 woohoo, oh, plus about $4.00 if I buy a large Coke.
Restraint
I showed much restraint this afternoon. After leaving work I headed to Officeworks. This is on the list of Most Dangerous Shops for Noala to Visit ... particularly alone! Officeworks is particularly dangerous for me cos of the combination of stationary and technology.
I've had a 'thing' for stationary since I was little, used to spend all my pocket money on pencils, erasers, writing pads, sharpeners etc.
But I was very good today. I bought the one thing for which I specifically ventured into this Hall of Temptation (stationary item to do with the preparation of my book - something I ran out of last night), and only one extra thing, which cost less than $10.00. Came out with my credit card intact too. I did carry something else around the aisles with me for a while, but realised it was a spontaneous purchase and put it back *proud look*.
Hmm maybe after this display of ability to resist temptation it might be safe for me to visit Bunnings (for the non Aussies, it's a hardware/homeware/garden store) or a nursery this weekend ... what do you think, dare I?
What's on your 'Most Dangerous Shop' to visit list? (Please add the type of store as well as the name, since others might not be familiar with the store name).
