An in-between phase

PennysIntoPounds

Ain't there just @foxgloves! We shall see what can be done.

Steps are very good but I think they're largely seen as so good because they're easily quantifiable, whereas it's more difficult to extrapolate to the population what a 'normal' amount of activity is. You do stuff most of the day every day and do loads of gardening for lots of the year, so I wouldn't worry too much. Still, much easier to go for a stroll for the pleasure of it once the weather improves!

Had a nice evening yesterday, glad I went but knackered! Was lovely seeing one of my best friends and seeing Mr PIP after several days- will be so nice to not have to work out our schedules with work and cat and factor in best use of fares. Though we've said we'll both have to b*gger off and do things separately regularly so we can still enjoy our catch ups!

Possibly the most important mse news is Mr PIP saw 10 creme eggs for £2.50 in the Sainsers reduced section, and nabbed two packs. Nom nom nom.

Could do with a rest day today but far too much to do. Have so far done bit of work, admin, weekly coop receipt survey and Sainsers receipt survey.

Need to do:
Work out what's for dinner
Lunchtime walk getting essentials
At least one of the two remaining bits of work today
Any money making things that are easier when Mr PIP is here
Some of the low hanging fruit on the to-do list

Then preferably:
The other bit of work
The rest of the to-do list
Post work steps and a catch up beer (using Camra discount) with Mr PIP
An earlyish night!

Just catching up with the news of your impending move - isn't that just fantastic! Utterly delighted that it's worked out for you - and that you'll be able to spend more time together.

We've decided to skip an after work beer this evening - I checked the online beer list for the pub earlier and the only dark offering is East London's Quadrant which is annoying as it's lush, but at 5.5% it's not really an "after work on a Thursday" kinda offering...much as I might want it to be. We do have good supplies of Leigh on Sea bottles at home at the moment though having placed the order for easter beers and then only ended up drinking one evening over the weekend!

Thanks @EssexHebridean, I am equal parts excited and trepidatious! 
Yeah a 5.5% is not a chill after-work pint or two, good thing you have some in- though those vouchers aren't going to drink themselves 😁
I'm currently having a Darkstar Hophead which I'm always happy to see in pubs, so delicious for the low ABV

Did the walk, we've gone posh and got stuffed pasta from the Aldi fancy range for dinner

Did one of the bits of work

Some bits off the to-do list

Managed to squeeze in the comping rounds

Researched most likely places to ask about selling that bottle of wine

Pics and description sent to Mr PIP for him to list an item on ebay

Five minute carpet walk

30 minute walk with Mr PIP for post-work beer

Won £125 on the premium bonds! Thank you Ernie. Will think about how to best allocate. Any PB wins would usually go to flat pot but there are a few extra costs on the April Aims list. But don't want to be disloyal to flat pot 😁

Shoulder is really tiring me so high hopes of getting to bed at a decent time this evening...

Well done on the win 👏 Didn’t you have a win last month too or was it the month before? 

PennysIntoPounds

I did indeed @Sun_Addict, very grateful for Ernie's blessings 😁

Whoop well done Mr Ernie ! He smiled on me too but only £100

Well done on the win! Last year I had 4 wins in a row, but now I’m on my fourth barren month 😖

I've not had a win in over a year and then it was only £25!
