Good morning, Tattlers!
I had a difficult night, woke up late and feeling not very well, and the Pup is in a bad mood today so I'm going to get beaten up the second I walk out of my room
But my inbox synced up a few minutes ago and I've got news that I'm not sharing elsewhere yet, not even with the parents
Got my first appraisal letter and my salary has been incremented! It's not like I can have avocado toast (
) every day now, but it's an amount that I can afford to save or invest while keeping our expenses at current levels (difficult, but doable). Finally going to start building some savings/passive income
Unlike Penny, I'm not going online to buy shoes!
I'm going to treat myself though, will just have to think about what to buy. Shoppingggg!
On topic, the Gruesomes didn't appreciate having everything paid for them and people offering them freebies (that they weren't supposed to accept), just because they wanted something more and bigger - they would always have been dissatisfied. Even though Smegs knew what it was like to receive a paycheck (or allegedly, cash) after putting in hard work, but seems to have forgotten. She remembers the humiliation of those days when she had to work and punishes those who work for a paycheck, now that "she has risen to her rightful position as a Duchess". The Netflix, Spotify etc deals have done nothing to show them how the world really works either. I don't understand why they have to be coddled and allowed to remain so irresponsible forever - it's not even childlike innocence that's being preserved here
Oh wow. 'Childlike innocence' and the Gruesomes in the same thought
