I've waited as long as I could. My eyes have been so dry and itchy and uncomfortable that I can't do without the eye drops.
I checked my supplies and I'm down to my last saline bottle. Ugh I don't even buy storing solution because contact lens products are too expensive.
It's supposed to be a cleaner, to cleanse the lens from eyelashes or grease.
A storing solution to moisturise them overnight in the lens case.
Then in the mornings. I use the cleaner and then the saline to rinse it off.
Plus not forgetting, once a month, I have to do the deep clean, using protein tablets.
I pop them in the case with the lens overnight and in the morning, clean them and it's supposed to be like having fresh comfy lens again.
But I'm happy I found a great deal on both. 4x saline bottles for under £9. I mean just over £2 each, a bargain!!
Then 6x eye drops for £7. Just a poundish each, wow, great value! It's just under £16.
Bulk buying at least where eye care is concerned just works out cheaper.
The saline can be £3/4 each for 1x bottle. The drops maybe £2/3 for 1x bottle too.
If I wanted less bottles, of course I could get them but they are used up so quickly, especially the eye drops.
For the same money but fewer bottles, it's not worth it. I need them to last a long time.
I hope the boiler isn't fritzing again, it was making a lot of noise last night and I blindly thought I put it on but it's cold.
Ok oops my fault, I didn't guess/press the up button high enough, it wasn't on but it is now.
That clicking sound is music to my ears. I just switched on the heated blankie too and got some crackers and butter for brekkie/lunch.
I can't believe I still went out and forgot to get some cheese, whoosh just went out of my mind.
The other things eventually to get are slippers, body butters but this time scented grr!
And I have no idea what else.. I guess clothes in smaller sizes but that doesn't seem like a priority, more vanity..
Yesterday I went ahead and blocked J on discord, as it's nearly a week and from regular chats to zero, seems off to me.
Something that really irritates me is everyone asking/saying.. Oh where you live is so expensive how do you afford it?
Everywhere, everything is pricey nowadays, use your damn brain and sniff out bargains, that's how I manage.
I use discount codes, coupons, deals, offers, whatever is available.
I might buy unknown brands or wait for certain days where a deal is guaranteed.
I only buy what I need. I don't borrow on credit cards. I use my existing funds, so only get what I can afford.
I might price around for the lowest cost. You have to be able to stretch the pennies in order to survive.
You can't just assume people will pay the highest amount, go to the fanciest restaurants, choose the expensive utilities providers etc....
Just because of where they are located. I'm assuming most people are savvy like me.
You can pick an upmarket restaurant and pay 2/3 times the amount, get less food and snooty service...
Or stick with a friendly cafe, get twice the amount of food for a fraction of the price.
These assumptions do my head in!
Oh lastly I've come to realise I have no current interest in fiction writing.
The stories don't compel me. I like the plots, I like the direction and the characters but for some reason, I am not excited about working on any of them.
I don't know why but I couldn't care less and I wish I did. Maybe I'll change my mind?
And every so often Twitter is still blocking my account and limiting my audience and I am getting so fed of it!
