don't forget your card, sir...

Today Rebel Sport had a 25% off sale for RACQ members, which included already discounted stock! I had a few things that I wanted to get, so I went to my closest Rebel store after the gym to pick up some bargains. Now, in order to receive the discount you needed to be an RACQ member and flash your membership card. Guess who didn't check that they had their membership card with them? That's right. Me.

So when I got there it was about 7pm. During the drive there I searched through my wallet to make sure the card was in there (it's one of those cards that I usually always keep with me - kinda needed for when/if my car breaks down...), and it wasn't there. I though that was fair enough, I probably temporarily took it out of my wallet to make it thinner for whatever reason, and the card was probably just in my bag. At this stage I was tempted to pull over to check, but I figured I'm just being a worry wart. So I waited until I got there. And couldn't find it.

I drove home to get it. Searched around the house and it showed up after about 10 minutes, hidden away under a pile on a shelf. Quite glad that I didn't have a car problem and need to call RACQ and found my card missing...

Got back to the store at about 8pm, giving me an hour until the shop closed at 9pm. Freaked out because I thought I had left my wallet at home this time, but it was sitting on the passenger seat. Phew. Anyway I ended up spending $172.85 on a bunch of random stuff. Wanted to get myself a Canberra Raiders jersey, but there was only one there (either they're really popular or they're not... I'm picking the latter) and it wasn't my size. I felt obliged to get something Raiders related, so I got a scarf. Other purchases included a gym bag, long Skins compression tights, a t-shirt and a ball that apparently bounces on water (impulse buy whilst standing in the queue). Went through the checkout with about 7 minutes to spare. No sweat.

[For those wondering, Townsville recap will be up soon... just gotta get around to it.]
