I'm not particularly bothered as it was quite obviously nonsense, but it did specify the actual password which was a little concerning.beanielou said:The email is spam & has been doing the rounds.

Today I had to listen into a couple of webinars, so I took advantage of the sun and sat in it whilst listening in. It was lovely!
I've also done a few minutes of weeding in the garden and went and did a bit of exercise out there as well. Not much, but it's a start and a lot more than I've done recently.
I've also achieved a couple of other work tasks too, so I feel like I've had a positive day.
I've had a Tesco delivery today, and have got one booked for 2 weeks time, but not seen any slots for next week. I might actually have to leave the house! Saying that. I've had an email from Iceland with a potential delivery slot and discount voucher for next week so I might use that."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Great news on getting slots. Love the idea of books talking to one another. I group by height - when I am being tidy which isn't often.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if everything turns up if I place an order! Last time, over 1/3rd of it didn't come.in_need_of_direction said:Things must be returning to normal if discounts are becoming available
Thank you. I'm being shameful with the fitness, but I figure every time I do something it's better than nothing which is happening most days.savingholmes said:Great news on getting slots.

Another busy day at work, and I did drag the chair outside to grab some sunshine in my lunch break too.
I did a little bit of gardening while I was out there as well.
Tesco must have released a load more slots today as there were loads for next week again, so now I've got one for Tesco and still the option of the Iceland one if I want it. I might get some bulk stuff with the Iceland one, it would be a shame to waste a free £5.
I've got 3 days off now, so hoping the good weather lasts!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee6 -
Great you have 3 days off. Even if the weather does turn it'll be nice to have time to yourself.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
