    15 minute carpet walk reading magazine
    15 minute carpet walk looking at crossword
    Wine enquiry chased up

    Detector found. Don't quite understand the settings but I worked out which way round you're meant to hold it 😁

    Omazes done
    Ziffits done, one more book accepted for 50p
    15 minute carpet walk reading magazine

    We spent the vast majority of the day trying to fix microphone on mum's laptop. To absolutely no avail.
    And no idea where the iPad charger is, I'm sure it's at Mr PIPs but he can't find it. Ah well, it must be somewhere so hopefully we'll come across it soon

    Had a little lie-down reading a book for ziffit but absolutely knackered (and sore). We're staying in and having inherited beer on the sofa so feeling somewhat ropey is at least mse!

    I can’t remember if you already said if there’s a reason you can’t get a coil fitted? It does have side effects but at least it basically puts paid to periods and associated pain.
  • There's a few reasons it doesn't seem right for me @stymied but I will revisit the idea from time to time. Thank you for the suggestion. The annoying thing about my meds is they're really good for period pains but you have to get the timing right so if period decides to start during the night you spend the next couple of days playing catch up. And let's not forget about meds tummy plus period tummy plus chronic pain condition tummy 😭 So frustrating that society (or at least those with structural power) think women constantly being pain-riddled shells of people is fine, grr.

    Anyway, no bad vibes on a Sunday 😁
    Me and my trusty emergency M&S carrier bag are risking a walk with a group of mates, and it's sunny, and it's the last day of the football season. Very much doubt we'll win but at least we'll be put out of our misery for a few months 😂

    Walked four miles. Had drinks in the sun. Walked 45 minutes home. Lovely day, very tired and getting an early night! Really glad I went despite body anxiety and soreness. Hoping that the good vibes continue into the start of the week- and that I'm not too pink despite constantly reapplying factor 50!

    Tidying
    Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning 1k but I am also hankering after a hamper of chocolate

    40 minute walk to Drs asking about meds and tracking down prescription

    A topless staggering man told me to have an amazing afternoon- biscuits and books featured so I feel like I did him proud

    Free book from street library, will pop one back in hopefully this week

    Comping

    Got an email voucher for a Shepherd Neame pub free mojito til 31 May exc bank hols if anyone wants it

    Half wussy situps

    Randomly won a £10 prize from Omaze! Can be spent on omaze/xbox/virgin experience days/ASOS/pizza express. Not a particular user of any of those so will consult with Mr PIP when I see him

    Survey

    20 minute carpet walk reading one of the three books I found yesterday

    Resisted pub and will have an inherited beer instead. Leftover pasta and splodge for dinner (kidney beans, splodge-spotters), and will try to get through more of the potentially ziffitable book pile or at least free up more of the glossy magazines

    Hope everyone's week has started well!

    Why do I never get excitement like a topless staggering man?

    Exactly the type of person who would have sat next to me on the bus back in the day.
    2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
    2) To read 100 books (36/100) 3) The Shrinking of Foxgloves 6.5kg/30kg
