Froze my credit card in a block of ice to stop impulse buying. My browser had the number saved the whole time

Very proud of this one for about a week. Card in a yogurt tub full of water, tub in the freezer, big speech to my partner about removing temptation at the source. Then I bought a sweater at 11pm on a Tuesday without once thinking about the freezer, because the checkout page filled the card in for me. The card is still in the ice. It's fine. It's doing great. It hasn't bought anything.

"it hasn't bought anything" is the proudest anyone has ever sounded about a yogurt tub
