It was so yum @redofromstart and with a shared baked potato and baked tomatoes. Dinner bliss
I will mention this in the next begging email @Blackcats, only a foolish council would incur the wrath of you upgrading to 'very cross'
I know right @SouthCoast🤞🤞
Ha good point @WelshmansDaughter
I feel like I could bravely cope with eating two pizzas a week to myself @WinterWarrior 😂

Well my hip and hamstring are really sore today which is incredibly unhelpful, and adding to my general tiredness and overwhelmedness. Could so do with a rest day but there are a million things that HAVE to be done today so on we soldier...
Have done admin, tidying and a small bit of spec work and am now trying to muster the energy and confidence to shower and wash my hair.
Then need to buy some essential food items and loo roll, and take them to new flat.
Then need to figure out what to pack for a separate necessities bag for tomorrow night when everything is chaos and we're shattered.
I so far have on the list: wine, bedding, wine, five minute dinner of stuffed pasta and jar sauce, wine, basic toiletries, wine.
Then I need to update and print the LPA forms while still at mums so they're ready for Saturday
Then I need to work on a big spec work project that needs to be sent this evening
I also have
Lots of steps
Situps
A sh*t-ton of other admin that would be such a relief to have done
on the list but we'll see...

Awesome, thanks for double checking my list @South_coast
Wow, I have really managed to mangle your username in my above reply post! I blame barely any coffee this week
Speaking of which! Just having a five minute sit down after a 25 minute walk getting bits from Aldi and they had no cafetierè coffee! And I forgot about loo roll. Will ask mum if I can buy some off her if she has enough
Also found a penny.
Waiting half an hour to drop the stuff round the flat to give family friends enough time to clear off. Will dig out bedding and see if I can enter some comps and have another look at this spec work

Ummmm … can I suggest … completely and utterly forgetting sit-ups and steps whilst all this is going on …? 🤔 Trust me when I say you will be getting 10s of 1000s of steps in over the next few days … It’s one less thing to feel like you aren’t getting to …
