I’ve got another too-fancy-for-my-kind shindig coming up, and did you know there are Thirteenth Doctor Who themed bow-ties?
Props for Belfast Bow Company doing basically a one-day turn around and managing to make and ship the thing across the country in literally less than 24 hours. “We cater to bow-tie emergencies” indeed.
#basically we forgot about the event in the house moving#and then it was too late to rent suits#and it turns out#if you’re gonna wear the thing twice it’s better to buy anyway so…#but that meant having to buy bow ties and whatever#which we double forgot#we’re sort of rolling this monetarily into#‘putting lighting back on the second floor’ hopefully today inshallah#i’m glad capita has more money than sense#(well i’m not because i’d rather they’d not have ballsed this all up)#(and jeopardised half the disabled students in the country)#(and they’re /literally/ 9 project leads down for mental health breaks)#(but you know in an ‘unexpectedly need to buy two suits’ sense)#got me the 7th/4th doctor trousers of my dreams too#really hoping money remains fictional for another month at least#my ass just living the bougie life of#‘hey you need or want this thing? just buy it.’#making the growing-up-poor side of my brain eat itself alive#the dichotomy of life under big house moving/fixing outgoings#you end up shrugging and rolling 3 even 4 figure costs together#(cus it’s not like anyone tells you how much things actually cost)#(til they finish it anyway)#(so you can’t budget properly)#while also#nearly having a minor panic attack in tescos#when you realise tomatoes cost £2.57#and that’s so much just for a meal for two with no leftovers#and that’s just for tomatoes#survivor’s guilt of not being subsumed by capitalism#you all deserve suits and gym memberships and nice tomatoes
