An in-between phase

Blackcats

Hope you have a good day today.
just a thought but Nationwide paid members a £100 bonus last year but you needed a certain amount in your savings account to qualify.  I can't remember how much but it wasn't thousands.  They might not do it again but could be worth keeping some money with them even though you've finished the starting to save account 😀

It was £100 for NW.

Thanks @Blackcats, I have my 'holding account' current account with them that gets no interest but is where clients pay into then I transfer it to other banking accounts. Will make a note to keep £100 in there @beanielou, ta

Blimmin woke up at a respectable time again, must I be so contrary that as soon as I allow myself designated laziness I start behaving like a normal person 😂

I did have a nice read before getting up (waiting for painkillers to kick in) and then did admin, tidying, and the comping rounds to show willing.

Next to do is laundry and the washing up, then a small walk and a client job that I want to finish today as have other work to do tomorrow

Then if there's time and energy, do as much as possible on the to-do list.
Weighed myself for the first time since I did it when virusy, and still haven't put that quarter of a stone back on much to my surprise, so will be indulging guilt-free in all the food and drink and treats available this weekend with no intention of situps at all!

Think I'm going to have to accept that I will not be making up the steps I missed when ill. There's about twelve hours worth to do and I'm not taking them into April's to-do lists on top of everything else

Hope everyone is having a most delightful long weekend. If not, we can be having-to-do-work/mild-resentment buddies and reconvene for a well earned glass of wine later ☺

Mild resentment is my middle name pip, I’ll see you later for the wine 😁 🥂

I am full of mild resentment as I want a creame egg. 

WinterWarrior

I vote you just have one @beanielou. Not a lot of calories out of a whole days worth and it will get it out of your head. You deserve one, you really do.

crème eggs are definitely smaller than they were and the chocolate is less thick at each end so they are practically net calorie neutral.  These are my findings after I've researched this Easter's model on behalf of all MSE friends so tuck in @Beanielou.

Wine time mild resentment crew! Paging @WinterWarrior 🥂

@beanielou creme eggs have a comp on where you could win cash, the promotion period ends tomorrow and you have until 31st May to claim, so actually it's definitely very mse to buy some creme eggs this weekend

Thank you for your brave scientific investigations @Blackcats


The rest of the day:

Survey on cheese (not a survey inscribed on cheese where the question is can you eat this cheese, sadly)

Household bits done, mum volunteered to hang up laundry and cook cauliflower cheese tonight so I went for the walk and got more cheese, turned it into a 30 minute walk

Saw that the next Omaze competition is for a house in Cheshire... starting to feel like the universe wants me to eat lots of cheese. Consider it done, universe

Also got some stamps before the price rise on the 2nd April, and got biscuits for a comp, at Tesco who are also doing a comp so double win (probably won't win)

Client work

Leftover Indian takeaway for lunch while working

Finished client work

Checked March Budget List and everything complete other than ongoing/future things. Still got the rest of the M&S voucher for a treat dinner in at some point in April

Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning a £250 tesco voucher but I will also take a case of wine and a years supply of chocolate off of the promoters hands

A few bits gone from the to-do list, very much happy to stop being productive now 🍷

I do like the idea of a survey inscribed in cheese.
