Mood: Not too well
Listening to: Quietness
Yesterday I was looking for shower gel, and found:
- Shower Gel, 300 ml bottle, £1.79
- Bubble Bath, 500 ml bottle, £1.69
Both bottles appeared to contain exactly the same stuff. Maybe it wasn't 100% identical (just so they could insist that it wasn't), but how significant could the differences be? I pointed it out to Mum, and she said one of her friends was saying that there's no difference between shampoo and shower gel. And now I'm suspicious that there's no difference between shower gel and bubble bath.
Continuing to browse, I found two 500 ml bottles of bubble bath by a different manufacturer - two for the price of one (£1.49). Guess which I bought.
Reminds me of another time when I was looking for something I'm keeping under wraps. Looking along the shelf at the full range, I noticed (by the same manufacturer of the very same product):
- two boxes of 16: £1.50
- two boxes of 32: £1.50
- two boxes of 50: £1.50
Again, guess which I bought? Hopefully I wasn't missing two boxes of 100...
Sometimes I don't understand the world. Only today I was going through one of those spells of "why do people buy so much for themselves?" That includes us - it makes me sick at heart. I suppose by two of us moving into one house, we're sharing heat, light, broadband, car journeys, cooking power etc, and that has to be a good thing. The bad thing is that we'll also be sharing bin space instead of having our own bins to ourselves.
Feeling a bit fuzzy - slight bug I think. Good night to all bloggers. Also goodnight from Mum's cat Cheeky, who has just joined us at the desk.
