Yeah, what she says.

Yeah, what she says.

So, I've known that there's something with the boy sperm, so that is that they are faster, but also die faster. Sorry about that, boys, So what you're better off? Like if you want a boy, you're you are better off trying as soon as you're ovulating, or even slightly before, because they'll get there first and then fertilize the egg before they die, whereas the girls will be like, go shopping. So I came on on my way, just going to fertilizing egg. Oh look a cup of teen. And now they get there and they're like, oh, might as well.

And that is at the end, just before the beginning of a term, I have one day set aside where I just cook up a storm of like frozen meals for like for those busy weeks where you just like don't know what's for dinner, and also lunch box lunch box prep it Like, yes, it's a pain in the ass at the time, but it saves you. So like I'm making like banana bread, donuts, like puff pastry, pizza scrolls, muffin, anything freezable and then I just have a little like a tub in the freezer and I just chuck them all in there. So on the days where I'm like, oh, I haven't made any lunchboxes or the kids are like, I don't want another sandwich tomorrow. I just go in that frazer and I get whatever, and then it defrosts overnight and it's perfectly like fresh the next day. Lunchbox prep is huge. You're laughing because you don't do it.

In that time, well, I also do it. It's another little tradition of mine that I do. And every year people say, oh, you've inspired me.

Okay, it's a really bad fail on like I laugh, but it's like I'm heartbroken that I've done this, and that is that like your credit cards, you know, when you like earn points, and like all of our points have been going to like quantus points. So I've been earning a shitload of Quantus points and like we're saving it up, so hopefully, like we'll go away and you know, you can book your little trips here they upgrade, you know whatever. And I had had like a decent amount of points.

Well, the other week I needed to go and do some grocery shopping, but I had no money because it was like two days before payday. Yeah, so I was like, oh, okay, So I went and I went to our credit card points and I ordered an Aldi one hundred dollars bout your Okay. I thought, okay, that'll get me by this week. And that's fine, that's fine. And when it came, I had three vouchers that arrived and I was like, well, I'm not good at maths, but I don't think that's one hundred dollars. I think they've like they've short changed me. Yeah, and so I was like, no, how do you divide one hundred dollars into three different gift cards? And so it had no amount written on it. So I had no idea how much each one was. So I was like, Okay, this is going to be a painy bum, I'm going to have to ring these cards now to find out what's going on. And then I'm smart, I looked up what my purchase was. I ordered three one hundred dollar Aldi cards with our quantus, which means there's going to be no upgrade, there's going to be no hole, there's not going to be no holiday, nothing. And then I had to like break the news to Jerry.

Like it was like that's fine. I'm like yeah, but like you know, now we don't have that many points to deal with, and he was like, we buy enough that we will get those points back very quickly, like on Jerry. So, yeah, that was a fail my part.

So she's doing that, Like at five am. Before she'd be like, it's morning, it's morning. And now it's starting to work in my favor because she thinks it's still nighttime.
