I did my budget a few weeks ago and was horrified at how much money I was spending.
Luckily, my parents sent me some pairs of socks in the mail.
Before that, socks were the limiting factor in my laundry cycle. I had to do my laundry every week so that I wouldn’t run out of socks. Now, with three new pairs of socks, I have doubled my laundry cycle to two weeks! This has lead to a saving of £44.20 a year (A$110 or two textbooks)!
It’s a fragile balance, this two week laundry cycle. I have just the right number of socks to go to the laundry with a very full load. But now, I’m terrified of losing even a single sock. I’ve lost one already, which made its partner completely redundant. If I lose another, then I will have to revert back to a one week laundry cycle.
It’s amazing how the the seemingly little insignificant things can pose as a household crisis 😉 enjoyed reading your blog, all the best babe
… or you could wear odd socks as a pair. I personally couldn’t bear doing that (it would drive me crazy), but you COULD…
(If you use a washbag for your socks they’re less likely to get lost.)
Think of all the socks that £44.20 could buy!
Haha, you’ve got a point there, Moo!
