So yesterday while Colin worked I made a concerted effort to spend, spend and spend! The only unfun thing is the price of fuel. While regular fuel here varies from 1.25 to 1.28 per litre, my car takes premium fuel at 1.42/litre. Good thing it doesn’t get driven too much. But like I said Colin [...]
