Whenever You Wanna Save Money...
11:43pm: It seems like you need to spend it!
My latest annoyance is my phone, which is about two years old now and was out of date when I bought it. Now, far be it for me to need the newest phone out there, but I'm having trouble with my current one. First off it never seems to have enough memory even though I've inserted an SD card in there and set it to function like extra storage. I keep having to clear the cache and shit, plus every so often it grinds to a halt and I have to restart it. The second problem might not actually have anything to do with the phone...that is I often find myself unable to receive photos SMSed from people. And sometimes I don't even get their regular SMSes that don't have any photos! It happened yesterday actually! Mrs S sent me a photo of the kettle she needs me to purchase along with a separate SMS telling me that the Christmas Party start time had been moved to 6:30 rather than 7pm.
Neither of these got to me, despite the fact that nothing showed up on Mrs S's phone to say they hadn't got through (as far as I know my phone will say "Message unsuccessful" if it doesn't go), which meant I was late to the party - although they hadn't ordered yet so I wasn't late late. Now as I said, this could well be some sort of issue with my carrier because I'm quite sure my old mobile had trouble getting SMSes too. Either way very annoying.
I briefly considered getting the Motorola Moto G3 from Aldi when I was out shopping this afternoon, which is the next level up from my phone (still out of date, though, LOL), but it was $250 and that's a fair chunk of change. So, I didn't, apart from anything else I should really investigate if it's Spintel's fault I'm not getting photos and SMSes before doing that. They used to be contactable 7 days a week, but I'm not sure if that's true anymore.
Anywho, moving on, since it's getting late an I need to go to sleep ASAP, I've done some of my Secret Santa shopping, but I've only spent $30 so far and the maximum is $50 and I'm pretty sure other people will probably spend the maximum so it seems wrong not to do so myself. However one of the things my Secret Santa wants is something that I can't really buy until the end of next week - because it's a pot of flowers that are ready to bloom and if I was to buy it too soon it will have bloomed before I give it! Or I could go for the CD option, although I'm not sure I want to return that 70s CD set I got, because the songs on it look really good, plus I'm not sure where I've put the receipt. But what was I saying about saving money? :OP
Anywho, I'll have to ponder on that later because tomorrow I have quite a few things to do aside from going to work - decide what I'm going to wear for the big party on Sunday, have my hair done, wax and all that jazz. And with deciding what to wear I need to put that outfit together before leaving for work tomorrow morning since I won't have time afterwards!
So I bid you all, goodnight!
