Cheery's country living adventure

Cheery_Daff

Thanks all, I'm pleased with it - going a nice way to offsetting some of the cost of the kitchen! 

Realised I'd got the premium bonds draw day wrong, and it's TODAY that Agent Million will be ringing round - my phone is on and I am here to answer your call Agent Million! 😂😂😂

First day of beaky freedom today 😍 Except ours will have to wait a few hours more, as we've just driven into the city for Mr Cheery's epic hour-long dentist appointment 🙄 Also the weather is really quite grim today, which is SUCH a shame.

I'm just going to nip into the shop to replace my nephew's Christmas chocolate with Easter chocolate (I'm seeing them tomorrow!) and then I'll be sitting in the car spinning the Happy Wheel to (hopefully!!) get off to a nice start for April!

🤞that Agent Million gives you a call, if not at least one of your contributors is called, good luck everyone.

Sorry ladies, it looks like they'd have called by yesterday! https://www.lovemoney.com/news/85950/when-are-premium-bonds-winning-numbers-drawn-prize-checker (the Love Money newsletter sends out the anonymous list of the big winners every month - although it looks like the timings have changed now, but it's quite useful - would be more so if I identified a big win through it, mind you!)
Ladies in Bristol and Kent won the big prizes this month.

Sadly, unless you live in Cumbria or Lothian, you can stop holding your breath/crossing your fingers.  Next time maybe.....

Well that's weird - they've changed the details - it was showing April's winners as Kent and Bristol, but I've refreshed the page and it's back to showing March, with Lothian and Cumbria! Peculiar!

Ooh, shenanigans!  I love it

I saw the love money dates first and it said 1st April (so Agent Million would call on 31st) but premium bonds website says tomorrow, meaning they would call today.

I did briefly get excited about a phone call earlier, but it was from the dentist 😂😂

Home now, and the chickens are finally out after almost 16 weeks shut in their run 😍😍 I do wish the nice weather had continued. They literally took one step outside of the gate and set about eating the grass - didn't even bother to go any further 😂😂

Urgh, can't get myself going today, this drongy weather doesn't make me want to do anything at all! 

Done everything I can with the Happy Wheel and currently at -£4 for April so far 😂😂 Having a video chat with a friend in an hour, and a walk with another friend at 6, but not really inspired to do anything between those... I could switch the freezer on I suppose, and do some batch cooking?? Ooh, or I might put an audio book on and do some decluttering of my clothes - that'll be a nice sense of achievement!

Oh and I'm visiting my sister tomorrow so I need to find and wrap Christmas presents! Although fortunately I made a load of reusable present bags so wrapping will be super easy! Will try to do that before I have the video chat 😁

OK, presents found and wrapped, after a brief panic when I couldn't find my mother's - I'd forgotten I'd ended up sending something else for her birthday, so what I originally bought for birthday is now her Christmas present 😂

Sat outside with the chickens for a bit, and switched the freezer back on - the new seal hasn't fallen off yet so fingers crossed!

Sounding good enjoy your visit tomorrow
