Unavoidable spending on christmas day

in #hive-1538502 days ago

Merry Christmas to Everyone!

This was the first time that I would spend so much on Christmas day, the reason is that my 2 nephews and 2 brothers decided to make my home their abode from Christmas Day till the end of the year and since I am the host, all the food and drinks would be on me.

Normally on Christmas day, I just stay in my apartment and eat my normal food but immediately my visitors arrived yesterday, the first thing I did was to go shopping in a mall and that cost me a whooping 106000 Naira!.

We bought 1 bag of rice, golden morn, drinks, bread, and some other things, I must make the 8 days they are spending with me worthwhile...

I do not like snapping stuff like that, especially in a mall that is crowded, I can't show you the picture of the goods we bought but the cart we took was full to the brim. Yesterday was different in the mall, the queue was the longest I have ever witnessed in the mall since the day I have been going there and this is because of Christmas, people are there to get things and I guess we have people like me also there to get things to entertain their visitors.

Yesterday was fun, it was an apartment full of men and boys and we were having fun with play station until the units on the prepaid meter got exhausted, and loading another one became a problem!.

I have been trying to load the token since yesterday evening but to no avail, All I get is failed and it was not always like this, though the problem used to happen it only lasted for 1 hour or 2, once I try to load the token again, it will be successful but I have been at war with the meter since yesterday with the unsuccessful trial.

Thank goodness I have a generator and I have fuel inside which is what served us, we used that for some house and I off it around 2 a.m... My electric fan also served its purpose as it was able to keep the house cool till the next morning and am surprised that it still has some bar not yet used, it was a good thing I changed the battery.

There is enough food and drinks for them till Jan 2 when they are leaving, the only issue is the electricity, it is painful to see the light in the same compound without you having it and there is nothing you can do about it! is anyone also facing this ish and how did you solve it? I guess the power-holding company workers are also on holiday and things will fix itself tomorrow but this just cost me extra expenses beca

Hey there, the Bilpcoin team just wanted to give you a virtual high-five we manually curated this post.

Their attempts to intimidate and silence their critics are equally concerning. The use of downvotes as a means of censorship is a clear indication of their desperation to maintain their grip on the narrative. But it's not working

That's a lot of money and I understand that you had to spend so much because you want to make your nephews and brothers feel comfortable as possible.

The long queue at public places during festive season can't be avoided, it happens every year and can be very frustrating. Not having electricity in your own apartment will truly cost you more on fuel. I wonder why the power holding company will not have considered such issue like this happening before having a holiday.

it was my apartment that lacks the network needed to load the token, a neighbour was later able to load it and now the electricity problem has been solved.

The meter wanted to spoiled the fun, but you used the generator and win over it.

l pray it load the token so that you do not have to buy much fuel, as the fuel ls costly.

My regard to your brothers and nephews, merry christmas to them, and merry christmas to you too.

it is solved now, the gen is just a temporary solution cos the cost of fuel is high.. Thanks!

You are welcome bro.

You really went out of your way to host your visitors well. 106000 Naira is huge. At least you guys are having lots of fun this holiday period. Though you should watch how you spend this period, so you can have to spend on yourself next year. Thanks for writing and happy holidays.

things we do for family! I will be fine, they are leaving soon so I would go back to my frugal way lol

It means this time extra spending was unavoidable for you in this month and I think such kind of uncertain thing happen with us and it totally depends on fate.

it is painful to see the light in the same compound without you having it and there is nothing you can do about it!

I can feel the pain as I also experienced it several times in my life.

it is solved now, yea could not avoid the spending this time cos it is not just about me, family is involve
