I always should be buying Two sets of everything. Be it a deodorant or shampoo I should buy not one but two. That is because I am a weekend daughter you see I have two different places that shelter me. Since I work in Makati, our country's business capital; During weekdays I stay at a place under rental. That is the story why I buy things in pair... Thanks for reading what I just shared.

It is great to buy things in pairs even if you have just one place. I buy two of shampoo etc just to make sure I do not run out.

Thanks. Yup, so that it would not be hard bringing my things from our home to my rented place and vice versa.

I thought you were going to say that your parents had split and you had 2 homes for that reason

@nottoooldtowrite In the UK divorce is common and many children have 2 homes.

This is one reason we have a housing shortage

@nottoooldtowrite the problem may arise when you go back to one place but at least you will be well stocked up ----ha!

I often feel that I should buy two of a clothing items I find that I like. It seems like I never see one again.

I guess that in your situation you don't have much choice.

sounds like you have two cupboards to stock - When I was young I was a weekend-daughter, I love the phrase

I love the sound of the phrase but quite frankly I sometimes feel like just going home. If only I can find a decent paing jobe home-based or online.

Yes, but sometimes I feel like wanting to just work at home. Only if there is a decent paying stable online job.
