In the Meantime

Start with their legs, stops them escaping to mate!

Good luck with the submitted application and the new one.

Don't blame you for keeping a paper trail.

Thanks @savingholmes and @MovingForwards.

I slept poorly last night worrying about the stupid pension. I will still write, but I telephoned (FROG) and explained the situation. I had a good reception and the person I spoke to hinted that this sort of thing was far from unusual. I  feel a bit more confident that it will be sorted out. 

I started on a HMRC issue. I ate half this frog (the legs @MovingForwards ) I  will finish this off tonight. I've learnt I  have an energy spurt after a rest of an evening...

Today was a NSD but only because there was nothing left in my account.

(Edited to say my CC statement arrived. I am a few pounds in credit and determined to keep it that way. Feels so good not to owe on it!)

I will be visiting the area I want to live in to view 2 houses at the weekend.

I arranged a weekend away with a friend at the end of the month. We will eat a Michelin restaurant very near to where I want to live and spend the weekend pretending I live there!

There should be something in my account tomorrow...

I am ending the day in a much more relaxed state of mind.

I hope everyone is ok.

All sounds good DIA 😼
Nice idea about the break , and possible viewings . Keep fingers crossed for everything 🤞and carry on with the frogs 🐸

That's a great start and you'll soon be stopping the frogs. Small appetite have the legs, bigger appetite have the body. 

Weekend away sounds good. I'm looking forward to hearing about the posh food and your adventures.

Unless DIA is careful eating frogs could become an actual thing at her Michelin restaurant

ETA - there is a Dudley Moore/Peter Cook sketch about Frogs a la peche, and peche a la frog - I wouldn't listen to it !!

Enjoy your break

Good news on the pension and have a lovely time on your break. 

🤣 to @another_casualty's post!

re your pension - double check they are using the correct Normal Retirement Date.  Mine kept telling me silly things and saying my NRD was at 65 despite me repeatedly saying i was sure it was 60.  And i was right.  took them yonks to agree as they didn't see that I was in a slightly earlier version of the scheme - my OH is in the later version and his NRD is 65.

Thanks everyone 

The posh restaurant is very MSE as at lunch there is a 2 course meal for £15. It all be a real treat!

@another_casualty Haha good one!
@mark55man you are on form!
@savingholmes and @Seasidegal58 It won't be until the end of the month but that gives me something nice to look forward to!
@Brie It may well be that. I will keep an eye on the NRD issue.

Today I had a beauty treatment. Just eyebrows for a few pounds. They look fab. I am concentrating on self care and wellbeing and it is definitely making me feel better!

Picked up some YS bits and pieces to celebrate having funds again! The NSD yesterday was tough. It shouldn't have been. Obviously out of the habit!

No frogs eaten today
