A full day at work takes so much out of me that I can't even wind down and relax by planning the holiday that I'm looking so much forward to. I pretty much go almost straight to bed, or I'm forced to work a bit more before that.
I always thought that procrastination tendencies would put relax / pleasure ahead of work that could be delayed until the last minute. It's not working... (pun intended)

A very appropriate place to buy vegimite, indeed.

Bought a new Philips Sonicare ultra sonic toothbrush last Christmas as a gift to me.
Fitted a new brush head a couple of weeks ago and last week the toothbrush started making horrible rattling and grinding noises
So went out and bought another new and expensive Philips Sonicare ultra sonic toothbrush yesterday. Being thrifty I fitted the brush head from the faulty toothbrush and the new one made exactly the same horrible noises. 
Fitted another new head and everything was nice and quiet again 
Positive side of being thrifty is I discovered the old toothbrush was not faulty
