How rubbish of Sainsburys. (That’s choosing a nicer word than I could of used). Hope you’ve enjoyed the bank holidays. 

Sains: yeah, it was bad.  As well as going full time to Asda, I made one bulk order from a local wholesaler - when the supply chain was really, really dodgy.  The bulk order of flour I got at that time  lived in the bottom drawer of the freezer, circling around it, for quite a while.  I'm still using it up    but that's the sort of thing I felt it necessary to do, directly because of Sains.  The Asda is 10 miles away, I never walked there in any case.

Anyway!  Afternoon was good!  Outlander, Icelandic history and geography, frugal brownies, a bit of a walk, all good.  Today, clearing up a little (setting up for sorting the photos with my sister tomorrow), then I'm off to admire the local Village Day - still not going to launch myself into the middle of the crowd, but I'll pootle a little closer than last year.



ETA - won £25 on the premium bonds.  Winnings now equivalent to 6.89% interest.

Right, I need to focus again!  Money shuffle comes first, then putting the wm on, then possibly seeing to the ants nest right outside my front door **shrieky blue smiley** 😧😠💀

I inserted a skull next to my comment about the ants, that's pretty representative of the kind of party I held 😮😔☹  RIP ants.  

Sort of a springcleaning day today: did the money shuffle, checked Net Worth (okay), shower, shampoo, beautifying my feet, vacuuming upstairs, stripped bed (uh oh, need to make it!), watered seedlings, got the dw ready, won 4p on the Happy Wheel and I have £2 in casino gubbins to take, though I'm not quite sure how to do it, but it's registered to my account, so I'll give it a go tomorrow.

I wanted to carry on being superwoman, but it didn't quite work.  Ah well 😉 Sorted out some of the photos we've distributed amongst ourselves, and cooked, my word, I cooked - the coconut loaf cake, and an experiment with flapjacks, a really simple Mary Berry recipe, which worked - instead of taking sachets of porridge for the hotel in Liverpool before the holiday, I'll just take flapjacks, really nice.

The photos took me back to Superlambanana time  Superlambanana - Wikipedia such fun!  A few of them live in various train stations across Merseyside, always a pleasure to see them  

Got to using these casino bonuses that came to me via the Happy Wheel - I'm not sure I'm using them correctly, but if I don't, I've got no chance of profiting.  Just making sure I don't use my own money, and I'm satisfied I've got the hang of that, anything else is gravy.

Raining all day here, and just clearing up - I need to *do* something!

We love the superlambananas too! 😁

I sometimes struggle with the bonuses, but they do tell you when you are playing with unlimited funds in the rooms, at which point it’s time to stop. It’s always worked for me so far!

I'm glad you're a fan too

That's okay then - I do feel a bit thick sometimes, in spite of my financial background numbers really aren't my strong point.  But I *can* see when I'm playing with the bonus and when I'm not.  No profit so far, but there's a chance of it, it being free money and all  

Just spent £26 on various first aid-type things, partly for the holiday and partly for ordinary stuff (the 80p paracetemol etc) at Boots.  Order for sea sickness pills approved   

I've been trying to get out all day, even if it's just to finally do more work in the garden, but the rain is constantly on and off, and it becomes torrential.  So I did a bit more photo organising, on the computer as well, and checked out the day trips on the cruise, they've been published today.  And Gutenberg has some 19th century explorer types writing diaries about Iceland and Greenland, so I downloaded a few of those.

My lack of understanding of the casino games is what has put me off having a go at proper 'casino MB' - it's soooo confusing! After a while though you get used to the games on offer on the HW, so you'll get more confident (she says, but she really sticks to what she knows works!).

The explorer diaries sound like fun! I hope you manage to get out today - the weather was very unpredictable yesterday!

Rubbish weather here too. I just want to get out and put the recycling out but don’t want to get soaked doing it

In contrast, it has been warm, sunny, swarm-a-geddon here in Suffolk 🐝🐝🐝
