Travelling On

Glad you were able to enjoy some social time today :cool:

As Beanie says, while the banks give intro interest rates and regular savers mature and insurance renewals are rip-offs, there'll always be financial admin

But the hill fort sounds good, as does the cafe after!

Absolutely - the turnover of accounts is always going to happen, when you look after your own money - it's most of the new stuff that's finished: the turnover of accounts was kind of abandoned when I was ill, plus there was a lot of new money to look after when we sold my mum's house at the end of last year.

So today, I'm going to take care not to do too much after yesterday, so I don't get lurgified. Already done most of SB, dw has finished, so the plan for today is:
- phone sister after lunch.
- card to Norfolk rellie, poor thing has broken her ankle
- bloggity - about ants, since I lost my blackcurrant crop *again* this year.
- stomach and back exercises. Decided this during the night, sleepless with back pain after 4.30 - hip pain is arthritic, but the back pain is muscular, I think.
- shower, after that, I'll need it

Options: cleaning, gardening, clearing the paperwork in the porch :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Beanie, SL, Happy Home Friday to you guys too

MCI, hiya :wave: I'm nearly there on the wellness front, I think and I hope you're good too. I'll have a look for your news.

I did *not* do a great deal today half an hour in the garden, a gentle walk a bit later, fair amount of cleaning, bit of tidying, chat with sister, a classic retired day. Not nearly enough of the lower back/ stomach exercises, though a little bit.

In an extreme rebellion against the concept of sleeping at nighttime, I'm taking my kettle and teacup-and-teabag with me tonight, I shall luxuriate in a cup of tea in bed if I can't sleep again

Morning fortunately my sleep was a fair bit better than I feared so I'm going to walk into my town centre: its actually nearer than the train station, so I know I can do it, it's just the errands are extremely boring I'll find a bit of window shopping to do, in amongst dropping stuff at the charity shop and going to the bank - cashing a cheque, and picking up walking around money. Thats mostly used for the bus to my sister's :rotfl: but also the odd cafe meal.

Just scored a survey worth £2.50 on SB, which is the online equivalent of hens' teeth :rotfl:however, I have a food wastage confession I stashed a kilo of frozen cauliflower too low down in the freezer, and it melted, and everything in that drawer is soaking wet now I knew I couldn't trust my freezer ... grrrr. There was another half used packet of veg that felt half thawed too, so I chucked that as well. Moral of the story is not to go overboard with the frozen veg! Thats my two deliveries too close to one another thing.

Onwards and upwards.


ETA - and along with the defrosted cauli were 400g of walnuts that were 4 years old. Can't eat them, even in the fridge they'd be rancid by now bad bad bad! Will do better
