An in-between phase

Period has started and I feel dreadful.
At least I have free sanitary towels

Tidying
Comping

20 minute walk dropping off a parcel for a survey, and getting a tin of tomatoes and a tin of lentils from Olio

Spec work

Fiver to flat pot from council tax remainder, it all adds up! And a bit to my current account to help get it back to a healthier level so I'm not background stressing about it (until it goes down again)

A third wussy situps

Supervised Mr PIP and family friend carrying over a wardrobe

Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning a regency hamper. That is all the information I have, and all the information I need

20 minute carpet walk

Couple of receipt surveys

Margherita pizza and mozzarella sticks for dinner with leaves and hummus

That reminds me, @KajiKita did you try those Linda McCartney mozzarella burgers?

KajiKita

Hugs for the period misery - I really don’t miss that at all! 

Mozzarella burgers? No - neither of the supermarkets that deliver to me stock them! 😢😢😢😠🤷‍♀️ Maybe I will look around locally.

You could enlist all your debt free and mortgage free wannabe friends into running the country's finances and HMRC.  (I'd prefer not to be in your HNRC team though as 18 week turnaround time is a bit tight to fit in with my work/life balance).  You'll notice that I'm online at 4.35 on a Wednesday so I'm not a shirker but 18 weeks is too much of a rush for me. 🥴

Snorts with laughter.

Random q why do you do sit-ups pip?

PennysIntoPounds

Is that that an existential question @WelshmansDaughter 😁
Mainly because my joints can get so bad that I need some (shoddy, admittedly!) core strength for manoeuvrability of self, also it's one of the very few types of exercise my body can take, and also because I'm not someone who's terribly enthused about a healthy lifestyle so at least I'm doing something. But mainly the joints issue; when I can barely put my hands down because fingers/wrist/elbow/shoulders are bad, I can feel how much my abdomen is doing in terms of movements like getting up from a chair. You'd think I'd be very svelte but I drink enough beer to counterbalance that 😂

I absolutely love the idea of a regency hamper. Regency Bath and Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen and ...

WinterWarrior

Regency hamper piqued my interest too….maybe there’s a Mr Darcy in there, or at the very least a high waisted gown, some satin slippers and a parasol for the PIP around town 😁

I do so hope I win and it lives up to expectations @redofromstart!

'The PIP around town' @WinterWarrior 😂
I am now going to start declaring that I absolutely must have all the beautiful things, what with needing to maintain my reputation in society 😁

I’m already fluttering my fan in preparation 😁

I get bothered fluttering a fan after 5 mins (been known to take them to clubs when dancing ) or on the tube. 
I would not have survived the Regency period well - far too outspoken 

Very impressed with your sit-ups! 

I just won a £50 gift voucher for a v expensive Indian near my parents so it won’t go far but may just cover 2 Mains !
