I’m mostly an under-buyer. This means that in most cases, I avoid buying something until the existing thing is completely beyond repair.
(We had our old lounge suite for over 20 years!)
My mouse fell to the ground and became temperamental, as in all the right-click functions no longer worked so I had to use the mousepad to do those things.
That’s what made me cave and buy a mouse. A wireless mouse!
I said on Instagram that the whole world should be wireless 🙂
And so I thought, what else annoys me daily?
My iphone charger!
Ah friends, if you have any i-devices, you’ll know how easily and quickly the charger cable frays.
Is it a conspiracy? Feels to me like that’s what’s going on.
I took this picture for the blog and immediately tossed the old, ugly cord
But I dutifully went onto Takealot, and bought not one, but TWO new chargers – one for home and one for work.
OH MY STARS, I love my chargers.
I also love that I only paid R11 for the two because of ebucks (loyalty rewards from my bank). They were only R96 each!
I love the bright colours (my other one is hot pink) and the clip to keep it all neat when not in use.
I also remember hearing DesignMom say something on a podcast – that she went out and bought about 5 hairbrushes to make their morning routine easier. Not a huge investment in terms of money, but a huge difference to the mood in the mornings when 3 girls need to get ready for school 🙂
So over to you.
Can you buy something inexpensive to make your life easier?
Not that I can think of now, but it is something to keep in mind.
And as I hit enter, I remembered…a pencil bag. Currently all the stationery I need for class is lose in a compartment in my bag, not the best thing.
Yes, and there are so many cute pencil bags around at the moment. Have a look at CNA 🙂
Love that green – but wrong i device plug? Or am I missing something? A has 3 hairbrushes – one in her room, one in her swimming bagt and one downstairs in her little accessories holder with the school clips and hairbands etc. I am actually contemplating buying another one for our bathroom where she wash hair and brush out.
Nope, I still have an iphone 4S. That is the correct cable for my one 🙂 The long end is facing the table.
Yes with the brushes!
A car! I bought a new car! I hemmed and hawed for the last three years – when my AC broke – about buying a new car but I can fit so many little people in my Venture and couldn’t afford a big car to replace it. Someone said, why not buy your own car and designate the Venture as a dorm car? So I did! I went from manual, no power steering, no anti-lock brakes, no AC and no four wheel drive to a small Nissan which is automatic, power EVERYthing (steering, locks, windows!), anti-lock brakes, AC and four wheel drive. For dirt cheap since our USD exchange rate is so good right now. It was part of a similar quest for me – there are so many things that are difficult that I can’t control, what are some things that I can?
Yes! A decent phone cover!
