Day Four: Have a takeaway!

A cheeky one yesterday, but since it was the first Friday after the new term began, we chose 'have a takeaway' for our "challenge."

A few days ago I felt like a treat, and thought about buying myself a new coat. Now, I don't need a new coat; I have an obsession with coats so I already own far more than I need. But I convinced myself that I needed this new coat I saw, which cost £50, and that I deserved it, and that it would become a valuable and irreplaceable member of my coat wardrobe. But then, I decided later NO. You DO NOT need a new coat. You have TONS of coats already. Stop being SILLY.

And then....I had a happy thought. I'm £50 up! I have saved £50! Hoorah. I deserve a treat....ooh maybe we could have a takeaway when Tom goes back to work. (Now I know most normal people would just say, 'Let's have a takeaway tonight,' but, well, I'm strange.) I am quite liking this new money saving technique (because that's what it is) and think I will certainly employ it more regularly in the future. Anyway. Hence why we had a takeaway last night. Long (boring) story. Sorry.

The actual takeaway was itself very enjoyable and a lovely treat after getting back into the routine of early starts. It was a bit of a cheat in terms of this Fifty Things thing, as we spent the entire evening on the sofa eating and watching telly, but hey ho. An evening well spent!
