Simple living in the country - back to basics

So glad that you feel more like yourself today

Thanks beanie, me too! 😊

Financial messing about continues - I checked the bank account I want to add to Mr Cheery's new PayPal, which is also the one we use for his matched betting - and that led to me digging out the notebook from when we set up his accounts, which led to me checking all those accounts, which led to me finding £42 lounging in an account and winning an extra £18! 

So between us we're up £32 on the Happy Wheel today, and £288 this month. Very pleased with that! Would love to get (and stay!) over £300 for the month... Fingers crossed...

Right, starting to get a headache, probably from all this screen staring... 🙄 Time to roll out the bed I think - going to have the mattress on the floor again as it was much more comfortable than the boingy sofa bed last night.

Tomorrow... well, we'll see how I feel, but judging by today I might be up for a bit more activity, although without overdoing it, or interfering with Mr Cheery of course. Might make another cushion or two - I'm enjoying feeling like I can just sit here and sew and watch videos - I know theoretically I can do that whenever, but there's usually a nagging sense that I should be finishing the ceiling or scything the hay field, neither of which are options right now... 🙄

Right - bed!

Poor Mr Cheery and his gammy knee 😂😂

Good grief 😱😱😂😂

I'm sure everyone (not least Mr Cheery) will be pleased to hear that I won't even be going in the same room as Mr Cheery for at least another few days so he will be free from any kind of interference, thank goodness! 😮🤭

Honestly, you lot 🙄🤭😂

Slept pretty well again last night, didn't wake up til half 8 which is unlike me. Checked on the chickens, and it's quite warm out there, so I might do my experimental towel washing today, gosh, the excitement.

Might also try to deliberately split the day into sections, so it doesn't all just end up as an amorphous blob of videos and sewing (not that there's anything wrong with that!) Will ponder over breakfast...

Afternoon all. 

Well, so much for feeling better and splitting the day into sections! I've actually been quite dizzy and feeling a bit sick today. Landed up lazing around in bed til about 11, and since then been messing about reading and on the internet. 

Decided to experiment with doing EVERY one of the low risk offers on the team casino site this morning - normally I just do three or four. Today I just started at the top and went down, joining casinos I wasn't already a member of etc. Certainly brought the risks into play - I ended up DOWN £127, and my lovely July total has now reduced to £151. Sob. I know this is how it goes! But still, feels quite galling to have lost so much in one day... 

Anyway, no point crying - I'm still £151 up this month, and I've used it as a kick up the bum to do some more welcome offers for Mr Cheery, which means a few more free bets are on the way tomorrow, which should start to raise us up again. I'd carry on now, but I'm getting dizzy again, and fed up of sitting at the desk feeling like I'm at work, so I'm going to get on the sofa with a blanket and a hot water bottle and maybe my knitting, and watch a film. 

Just goes to demonstrate the mischief I can get up to when not at work!!

Going to see how I feel tomorrow as to whether I do the same thing again or not!

Sorry to hear about your losses Cheery. Think you were brave to be doing it at all - know my brain has been pretty fuzzy the past few days. Hope the sofa, blanket and knitting help. Take care!

Cheery_Daff

Thanks - I was conscious not to do anything new or unusual! But I did do one offer without opting in, so had to do it again, and unusually for me chose the higher risk out of a list of slots for one game so yes, should have been paying more attention! 🙄

Lying down is helping 🙄😂
