An in-between phase

Oh PIP ☹️ Only natural to feel this way. Hope the sun shines on your life soon. The council fiasco must be incredibly frustrating. 

Blackcats

The uncertainty from the council is so unfair.  You aren't large scale developers seeking to cram 80 matchbox sized houses onto a pocket handkerchief sized plot - you are local people seeking to use land that already belongs to the family.  There should be a section of the planning department that is dedicated to supporting folk like you and MrPIP to stay locally and enrich the community.  The "let's support our local folk to live locally department".  

Hope that spending some time south of the river with MrPIP cheers you up.

Sending hugs and the other half of a pack of biscuits (assuming you havent read the miserable no sugar book).

@PiP, it's not fair, it's not fun & if the universe can't arrange for you to hear something positive, win something or find at least a fifty quid note sitting abandoned on a wall over the coming week, I am going to have something to say about it!
Take care & Soot is sending a purr.....well, I suspect the purr may well be him working up to trying to score his dinner 5 hours early, but I will send it (the purr!) by proxy.

Thanks @foxgloves (and Soot!)

Somewhat tired. Mrs Clomp not helping. I counted seven different clomping incidents last night. Like the opposite of counting sheep. A very good reminder of the good aspects to moving into family friends flat!

Emotionally am a little better, had a catch up with a best friend yesterday and she was like 'yeah all of those things are sh*t and stressful and upsetting' so at least I feel like I'm not being stupid or melodramatic, and just have to allow myself a bit of time being low and slow if needed

Mr PIP has been very productive and done a run, hoovered the whole flat, and tackled the massive pile of washing up.
I have eaten a sossidge sandwich.

Other small bits:

Tidying
Admin
Opiniumiumium survey
Lidl receipt survey
Sains receipt survey
Comping

Half wussy situps
Shower and hairwash...
Hairdryer kaput

Entered a competition for a hairdryer.

Walk up high street, Lidl bits and then Sainsers for loose carrots. Have committed to making a nutritious and comforting meal tomorrow. We'll see.

Couple of beers. Appreciated the man talking to the giant iris in the pub garden. Mr PIP and I went through the cruises catalogue I keep being sent. We enjoy pointing out all the ways in which it looks terrible. (It's effing freezing in London, and you want how much to go to the actual Antarctic? No thank you)

Saturday night dinner is tasty freezer leftover pasta for me and yellow sticker pasta dish for Mr PIP, with our indulgence of a garlic flatbread to go with it

Glad you’re in a slightly better place. 

Boo to Mrs Clomp - what the heck is she on with and why doesn’t she sleep like normal people do!!

Ooh garlic flatbread not had that for ages 😋

Garlic flatbread yum.... See it is the little things

The garlic flatbread was very tasty @Sun_Addict and @Watty1 as was the ton of sugar I consumed for dessert!
