Building The Burrow!

Pearla*Merle

Mr Merle's interview has been put back a week, so we're all at sixes and sevens rescheduling things. I've not heard from my people yet so will drop them a line this afternoon to find out arrangements for tomorrow.

Had bad news about our neighbour being in hospital this morning, looks like they'll be out today or tomorrow (whew!) but quite upsetting really. Feeling rather jittery now, it's hard not to be knocked sideways by the slightest thing at the moment but I keep reminding myself to take things slow and calmly as that's the easiest way of returning to a balanced state where I can be as productive as possible. Things will happen when they happen, not much else you can do. :cool:

Found more boxes (seam of them lurking under desk) to sort out yesterday, so have filled another bag with charity bits Will try and go out this afternoon to drop them off... though it's looking rather rainy.

More bits for today.... another load of laundry and all the driers will be full again, could do with making some bread and some other snack things for the freezer, it's almost empty completely empty of munchies now. :eek:

Easter egg all gone Can't remember what I used to have for lunch now. :rotfl:

It's a real problem, greent. I seriously would have had a nutella sandwich if I'd had any in the cupboard. :rotfl:

Meeting sorted for tomorrow, have no idea about the set up so am just going to aim for Be Cheery And Relaxed and go from there.

Two bags hauled to the charity shops, definitely worth carrying them as the lightness you feel afterwards brings it all into rather sharp focus. Came back and half filled another bag, I'm on a roll!

Laundry done, bread made, Mr M came back with seriously discounted cookies so batch making some munchies is currently on hold.

:heartsmil Burrow Building: had a lovely time chatting to a friend on the phone today, I've been so out of the way of keeping up with people, it's lovely to get back in the habit

Pm need to pick your brain, when is the best time to get food bargains in waitrode or marks. I have some vouchers for 10 off 30 purchase and I want them to get as much as possible.
Thanks

Oooh! I do love a bargain hunt!

Marks - close to closing time, bakery products go on about 15-30 mins before closing usually (Sundays are super good for this I've found as there aren't as many people about to snaffle the bargains). They seem to be getting canny though and it can be at any time during the afternoon these days for general food reductions. They'll sometimes have clearance sections or trollies, but in ours they also spread them right along the aisles as they would normally be places, so it's a case of walking down them and keeping a sharp eye open for the yellow stickers! They even do this in the fridges(!)

Waitrose often reduce just before 5pm to get the the influx of people after work. A few other bits (non food) can be mornings, and then sometimes there will be another round at 7pm-ish, but 5pm has always been the key time for us. Usually everything's put in the same fridge, so nice and easy (unless you have to elbow someone out the way :rotfl:)

Hope that helps Make sure you report back!

Oh yeah, almost forgot to update on other things.

Mr M's interview has been moved back to the original date, rollercoaster! My quick meeting today went quite well I thought, will hear more next week.

Have been doing lots of prep work just in case they take me on, and spent today doing super fun worky things so am feeling quite buoyant about everything now.


:www: MFW Wonderment: still got 5 pesky pennies to go on 1Poll, narrrgh! A few adpoints collected, 11p into kittybank! :j

:coffee: Simple Pleasures: jane austen films, they're my comfort blanket.

:heartsmil Burrow Building: had a quick nip around the shops this evening (Mr M had to pick up a tie), so nice to do something unexpected after work and not just the usual kerflumppph in front of the tv. :rotfl:
