Returning to MFW, my elusive unicorn!

Grogged

Belated happy anniversary!
Are you going to name the coop - maybe clucklins as it sounds like it's going to be a holiday camp for the hens.

Hahaha Clucklins - I like it! Cluckingham Palace is another option lol.

I don't know what the final name will be, but my friend is going to make a sign for us. She paints signs and flowerpots so is already having IDEAS haha

Finally did a couple of studies on Prolific and managed to cash out £5.18 (it was sitting at £4.74 for 3 months) so I have OPed that this morning.

2021 OP running total: £324.70

Base row of blocks are in place, mesh is down, second row of blocks is in, we've started to backfill the hole. Asked our neighbour to source us some more breezeblocks via his grandson (works at a trade supply place). It's looking real.

In preparation for the extra bits we have planned I dug out some plants from a border bed that we are raising. Moved a mini weeping willow tree somewhere else in the garden and it doesn't seem to have noticed?? Put some plants I want to keep in pots so they can be transplanted back in when it's ready. It's slow progress, but it is progress.

Having not done any studies for 3 months on Prolific, I've now done about 15 in 24 hours, one of which was a rather lovely £4.68 for counting dots for half an hour! OPed £6.78.

2021 OP running total: £331.48

Bought a firepit today - just a £30 jobbie from Ald1. We do like being able to have a fire, but we've put the new chicken coop base over the old firepit we had in the ground lol. This one is metal and have removable legs so we can just take them off and hang it up when we're not using it, but can have it out either on the patio or on the grass depending on how we feel.

Cashed out another £6.69 and OPed it. Really very doubtful that I will meet my bigger target of £650 this year. Wonder if I should drop it back down to the same £500 as last year.

OPed another £5.38 from prolific surveys.

2021 OP running total: £349.86

Was hoping I had managed to pass £350 with that last one but sadly no. End of bills OP is looking to be about a fiver? 

Absolutely gutted - scratched my car this morning on the gas meter box.

Not too bad a scratch I hope? 😟

It's dented the wheel arch a teeny bit and taken some of the bodywork off right on the corner. It's gonna be able £180 to fix. I'm so angry with myself. I'd moved the car over so that we could get the wheelie bin out.
