Link sent…I lied, they were £10.98, but my memory obviously isn’t what it was, and have now gone up a touch, but worth it imo. You could get a similar single one for less….but then you couldn’t share 😭

No it isn't a chronic pain thing. Too much of the people thing & I could easily scream, except of course we are all way too polite (well most days).

Nephew got a balance board and thought it would be perfect for core for someone with joint problems0

I definitely think having to spend so much of one's life being so aware of being in one's own body makes us natural introverts @beanielou. And the general exhaustion!
Though as @badmemory says lots of people find other people exhausting, because they are!
Ah, 'balance' might be a word that is somewhat absent from my body's vocabulary @WelshmansDaughter 😁2 -
Rest of the day:
Did a survey
Won a packet of biscuits! McVities comp ends 19th so if you have their biscuits in the house go and check if they're qualifying packs, it's one entry per day and max two a week so enter asap!
Bit of spec work
Lots of chocolate
Sleep- good thing I set the alarm
Mum's choir event was lovely and I helped clear up so I earnt my keep- got a block of brie and lots of grapes to take home out of it!
Too much tummy turmoil to stay on for a further drink and socialising but hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and we can have a pleasingly productive Saturday 🤞

I entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning a 1k asda voucher as it'll save us much money but I would love a hamper with food and drink from Wales in it
This evening is a bit more flat pottering and a best friend might pop in for a beer while she's in the area. Dinner is spag bol from mum 😊

Happy Fathers Day to those who celebrate, and kind thoughts and gentle hugs to those who find it a difficult day
Mr PIP has gone over to see his parents and I'm having a quiet day of contemplation and self-care. Will raise a glass to my dad later
So far I have done tidying and admin, and next on the list is watching an episode of a series and if I like it maybe having a bit of a binge watch, under a blanket with some chocolate raisins my mum gifted me
Hope everyone is having an enjoyable Sunday whatever you're doing or not doing x
