Returning to MFW, my elusive unicorn!

Grogged

Probably a "Bez" day. 😁
Can't say I'm looking forward to another 6 months of elastic rules lockdown and home working.
But other than that good.
(Note to self) Add Happy Mondays to my playlist.

• meal plan for the next week and write shopping lists for today and Friday 
• swing by BILs on the way to Aldi for his washing (he doesn't have a machine yet)
• grocery shopping
• withdraw cash to pay neighbour for breeze blocks and ballast. Not sure on the exact cost but we agreed I'd take out £120
• post an Et$y item
• collect Big Small from college

Meals planned. Shopping done. Cash withdrawn, but not handed off to neighbour yet. Washing collected. Parcel posted. Rang the chiropractors to make an appt for next week. Manwife™ put the new blind up in the hallway.

Also, today I found out that there is a snake called the Chihuahuan Hook-Nosed Snake that farts as a defense mechanism. Which is just great 😆 but also no more internet for me today I think 🤣🤣

I don't even want to know what you were Googling to wind up discovering that 😮!

And Grogged, you're twisting my melon man....

Absolutely nothing! It was a Meme Drop Monday thread and it was a ss of a tumblr post.

There was also this:

Only 1 bill left to go out on Thursday now. Gave the cash to my neighbour, and have reduced the amount I will put into our house saving account accordingly.

I went for a massage this morning and it was loooovely 🥰

Then I came back and did the first one of 4 days of a food/sleep/mood diary for a Prolific study. I had to recall all of the things I ate or drank yesterday. Except I didn't know it was going to be today, so I didn't make a note of anything and had to ask The Manwife™ what I ate for lunch because I couldn't remember 😆 also, I don't think it liked how many cups of tea I drink 😂 after the third cup I added it was like "are ya done now?!" 🤣🤣 #teaislife ☕ it'll be worth it because each day is worth £3.20, plus a bonus for all 4, plus whatever I earned in the initial study I did a week or so ago.

Pilates this evening. Be interesting to see if my laptop can find the camera today!

Tomorrow I need to post 4 parcels: 3 fb sales and 1 raok. The funds will be put in the clothing account, I think around £75 after fees and postage.

Why do I never get the interesting Prolific studies??? *stamps foot petulantly*

coldcazzie

LOL and here, when I signed up for this one my exact thought was "now I get to do an interesting one like SC does all the time!"

South_coast

Ha! No, I always get the boring "read this CV/watch this interview, and decide whether you would recruit this person for this job" ones! Reporting on my moods would be much more interesting!

Day 1 was approved, plus another study, meaning my prolific acc is currently at about £9.something. Today is Day 2, reporting on yesterday's food, which, despite me knowing it was coming, will still not be any easier. The only thing I can remember is some chocolate at 8pm lol (and I mostly remember that because right afterwards Small Small came to snuggle on the sofa feeling ill, and about 45 minutes later threw up 😔).

Have posted 4 parcels this aft, and transferred the remains of the sales into the clothing acc. Manwife™ put some money in the jt account after driving up to see FIL and FIL paid for petrol, so I've moved that into the car acc. Last bill tomorrow, should end the day on a nice round £300.

Had to buy a bunch of equipment on short notice for work, so tomorrow I've got giant parcels coming from FedEx, DPD and Amazon. £320 spent in 2 days 😖😆 that's come out of my business bank account though, not personal.

Chicken tikka for tea tonight - put it in the slow cooker earlier and I'm very glad I did because this aft I did a round trip that started at 2.50pm.... to a friend's to pick up a mattress which took 35 minutes instead of 25, then to college to pick Big Small up but that took 45 minutes instead of 30, and had to stop on the way because I stood in dog 💩 so was trying clean the bottom of my shoe, and the clutch pedal, using tissues and hand sanitiser whilst not actually getting out of the car (because busy road), and thus being a grand total of 28 minutes late to collect her, then rushed to make last post at the post office on the way home, then filled the car up with petrol and got home just before 5pm. So. Slow cooker ftw. Also, where's the chocolate 😂
