It’s the unexpected nature of the costs too – no, I don’t mean unexpected because they’re not (!) – I mean random and irregular – maybe we should justy put aside something in the ADD kitty each month to accommodate these costs.
Like yesterday, I locked my keys in my car – all my keys, along with my phone. So I had to walk to someone’s house to use their phone to call the breakdown service, to ring the vets to cancel an appointment and use their loo (never again will I think I’ll wait because I’ll be home in 10 minutes)!
So, I had to give the breakdown chap a tip, buy a present for the kindly houseowner, reorganise the vets appointment which is now going to eat into my work time on Monday, and apologise to my niece who won’t get her birthday present on time because I missed the last postal service of the day. But what really annoys me is it would have been on time – for once! All trivial, but still lost time and unnecessary expense and frustration.
