As much as I love my mum right now I'm so angry and frustrated with her. Over teabags. Yeah sounds really mature of me. We're skimping for money, barely having enough to pay off the bills, the mortgage and all the rest of it. We have 5 teabags left. She knows I'm going to town anyway tomorrow for my counselling session. I said to her she can have the last of the teabags and I'll get some in town tomorrow as I can get a huge box really cheap and save us money which we desperately need and instead she's all, "I drink this many cups one after another so I'll get a box from up the road when I go and get the lottery. I don't want to be messing around" What!? WHAT!? So you're happy to spent £1.35 for just 40 Yorkshire Tea teabags...when I could get a box of 240 from town for £3.99!? Sure that might save time but it sure doesn't save money. Let's see, 40 teabags for £1.35 X 6, that's £8.10. We could save £4.11 just by waiting a little longer and me going to town tomorrow when she's out anyway! She's happy to start drinking coffee when we've had no teabags before but just because she wants her cup of tea now...nope gonna spend all the money we don't actually have because well y'know, we're broke and all that. I feel so damn petty by getting irritated by this but it's a matter of logic. Maybe I'm stupid but it's more logical to let me go to town tomorrow which I have to do anyway and buy teabags using that £1.35 to help buy 6 times as many for just a little extra.
