  • Thanks @KajiKita! Carpet walks feeling an especially good idea with this ongoing miserable weather

    Cheers @peb!

    Here's hoping @Blackcats... Will be some small consolation for your lot humiliating us later 😁

    Nice to have something nice to share on here! I'll be very good and put it all straight in the flat pot. Only gotta get a hundred pounds a thousand times til we can afford a wee flat somewhere and that's one of the hundredses sorted 😁

    Hey, another win! Great news!

  • Not a very productive day, wiped out with period

    Admin
    Comping

    Sent coop mission money to flat pot
    Sent PiP money to dental/emergency pot

    Bank account has randomly received £25 from what, on investigation, seems to be AirBnB. Any thoughts anyone?!

    Opinium survey
    Tidying

    Felt so rough had to go back to bed at 1130am! Read for a couple of hours (A Net for Small Fishes by Lucy Jago, enjoying it)

    15 minute carpet walk reading
    Quarter wussy situps. Thought I'd try to show this period who's boss.
    It's the period.

    The company I won the cava from have also sent me a cute cooler and bottle stopper. I won't need the stopper but it's very nice of them 😁

    Omaze entered by postcard, five minute walk posting it

    Pizza, garlic bread and salad for dinner (from fridge/freezer, not take-away) and doing nothing but reading. Hopefully I'll be at least a little more energetic tomorrow!

    Lots of reading sounds a great cure!

  • I was trying to be productive in my lack of activity @WinterWarrior and chose a book to start that had been part of an Olio bundle with a view to ziffiting it if I didn't take to it but un/fortunately I'm well into it and will be keeping it!
  • Woke up after six hours sleep with period pains, gave up and got up

    Horribly slow comping, hope they sort their sites out soon

    Signed up to a couple of beauty panels in the hope of freebie skincare

    Small survey

    25 minute walk with Mr PIP, got a key cut for friends flat, dropped off a little eBay sale, and found a bag of books someone was getting rid of

    Weekly coop receipt survey

    Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning 3k but as ever would also appreciate a radio

    We indulged in my freebie packets of crisps for a snack

    Mums main birthday gift is now £78 rather than £125 so a welcome £27 left in her birthday pot towards a meal and other little gifts

    20 min walk with Mr PIP for beer using Camra discount

    Found 5p

    Dinner is leftover splodge with cupboard pasta and cheese, we're going to try to watch something on Prime while Mr PIP has a free trial for the next few weeks, but we're in too much of a book mood now, my tired brain and body can't take moving images and sounds tonight!
