I often wish Pricescope had a 'status' field - you know, where you quickly say a few words describing how you are feeling / where you at, so to speak.
This really came up for me a couple of days ago. my husband has been asking me what I want for Christmas / anni /bday (they all fall in early January). Normally I 'play nice', and don't ask for anything outright. (although I do offer to help him shop!!)
This year, I can't stand the anxiety. Two days ago, I plucked up the stomach to say it: 'Actually what I really want is a tennis bracelet.'
His response? 'Tennis bracelet? Maybe next year?' Now, next year we have a bunch of stuff on business wise.
So two days ago, my Pricescope status update would probably have been " Jam always tomorrow."
Today, My new fortified self pressed on: I gave specific details and a rock bottom price.
(which I will supplement, if necessary)
His response:'Oh is that all? Maybe we can arrange that!"
So my updated Pricescope status update is ' Bling could be on the cards!'
But then I found myself suggesting that maybe we should look at a family pontoon boat for our family Christmas holiday this year.
Hubby LOVES BOATS.
So praps the latest status is :'DOH!'
What's your Pricescope status?
