Re: Life and trauma
@avant-garde not the dreaded washing day, wonder if there's any laundromat drama today 😂.
I'm just about to have a look in a second hand shop to see if I can find anything interesting.

@Former-Member Oww... i love a good browse through an op shop. I used to love doing it when i was a kid. Second hand book shops as well.
@avant-garde I'm sorry you had such a difficult flashback. Sometimes the smaalest things can trigger the biggest reactions. It's good that you have things to keep you busy today, and hopefully it keeps your mind on other things.
I'm sure the people in the op shop love chatting to you as well. Many, many years ago I used to work in Myer. It was a smaller surburban one and was pretty quiet apart from Thursday nights, which was the only late night shopping night back then.
We had regular customers that came in for a chat and we were always happy to see them, to break the monotonomy if nothing else.

@MJG017 i found a few things for myself. I found a puzzle and a little brain game thing.

I forgot that I was up to my free coffee
The op shop had 50% off EVERYTHING
I wished I had my $10 off card that I used last week
Still kept in budget
Just means I got some nicer things than usual
Also went to discount grocery after as I had time
I got free donuts
And potato salad to go with rice paper rolls for dinner
Also got a pretty kitty clock and a few necklaces

Re: Life and trauma
@avant-garde woohoo for free coffee.
Bonus about the op shop sale and that you still kept within your budget.
Yummy donuts and being free makes them taste even better. Potato salad with rice paper rolls sounds delicious.
Sounds like you got some nice things and I'm glad you treated yourself 😊

It sounds like you had quite the day! People throwing discounts as you! 😁
I'm curious about the kitty clock of course.

Re: Life and trauma
Kitten clock
$5
I love clocks
This one was new in its plastic
I already know where it's going
