Bought myself a new jacket on vinted. I fancied a new one and had seen some I like but they're too expensive, can I get a second hand one? It's a real gamble. Either I'll like it and be happy and have saved a load of money, OR, I'll be disappointed in it and end up going to buy the same one new, having paid more overall. I suppose there is a third scenario where I just bought the new one and was disappointed in it, and a fourth, which I have now forgotten. I'm confusing myself. Got to wait four to five business days for it to arrive.
It won't be here before we got to London, on our trip which was mostly about getting a new coat. Wife says the saved money should go on her coat. I think I will try and spend it in the pub.
Another busy day of work today and what do you know I was on call yesterday and I got called at 10pm. It's something I could have sorted out in the day time, so my fault really. Sorted it for the future. Tried to use AI to do some of my job today, and it got 90% of the way there while still somehow leaving me 90% to do. It's a lot like Donald Trump having completed 90% of this war.
Partly cloudy and light winds, 7 - 13℃.
