Top secret surveys where you have to eat the evidence would be an excellent addition to the surveying world @redofromstart.
It does amuse me when a survey makes you swear that you won't divulge any info from it, I always think 'sure, you've gone through the entire concept, research and development phases, and now you're asking randoms on the internet about it, but definitely none of your competitors in your very specific industry have got any idea what you're doing, absolutely'1 -
Happy Easter everyone! As always I find myself disproportionately baffled by the clocks changing 😁
Of course now because I set my mind on being productive today I only want to mooch and do nothing much. If I can do one bit of work and one walk I will consider that a success. I'm sure the energy to do that will occur any minute. Any minute now... 👀1 -
The clock bafflement is real. I’m always converting it in my head…ah yes 12pm, but really it’s only 11am….and on and on until I eventually get used to it 😅
mooching can also be productive!Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Some hoovering but back aching so that can be resumed tomorrow or this week
Client pay share to tax pot

I too had a hot cross bun for breakfast - very delicious but wouldn't want to do it every day largely due to the amount of butter on it!!!
You have achieved a lot more than me today!

No post yesterday as went out to meet a friend for a beer and it inadvertently turned into an all evening session. Much fun.
Big news is Mr PIP is handing in his flat notice today and we'll be moving into family friends flat end May/early June (well, we hope so or we'll be in a somewhat awkward position!)
Today have done admin, tidying, a bit of work, a 30 minute walk picking up some Olio bits including a fancy cleanser which I hope isnt too nice or I might be tempted to buy it in future 😁
Local pub has bank holiday beers reduced to £3 a pint today so rude not to help them clear it. This evening will be getting some bits on the to-do list to-done and aim for an earlyish night and a productive day tomorrow getting work bits done before meeting friends for an evening exhibition

Great news about the friend's flat. Will be much to be together and not have all the travel to each other.0

Thanks @joedenise, yes as well as the mates rates rent we'll save a fair bit on travel. Will be so interesting to see what our 'normal' life looks like- will have to make sure to keep up all the mse-ing, as The Build is still looming although with no blimmin progress!3

Oooh! Exciting times 🤩❤️

Good news that the flat move is imminent 🙂
I hope you manage to clear up the pub’s excess stock 🍺I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
