  • Sunday's mse things:

    Found my MP3 (yes, I'm old and technologically inept) charger I'd been looking for everywhere so no need to buy another

    Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning a luxury London stay but I'd also like some good quality boots

    Did a couple of listings

    Free exercise of 45 minute walk with Mr PIP

    MP3 players now that takes me back. I had one of those minuscule iPods back in the day.

  • Too modern and high-tech for me @Sun_Addict 😂
    Check if you still have it, would probably get a few quid online for retro value!
    I can't believe I'm listing things on vinted as vintage 90s or even vintage 2000s when I clearly only bought them a few years ago (*cough* three decades)

    Found my creative zen in a drawer in my mother’s house. I do still play cds in her car too.

    ETA That sounds like the first line of my memoir but is in fact an mp3 player.
  • Strong opening line though, I would definitely read on @WelshmansDaughter

  • Monday's doings:

    Yougov survey with one of their bonus ratings rounds too

    Did a listing on Nextdoor
    Their website is so awful to use I had to have biscuits for breakfast to recover

    Vinted listing

    Couple of receipt surveys

    25 minute walk getting bits from Aldi.
    Iceland has stopped stocking their Good Housekeeping recommended loo rolls so I'm on a mission to find the cheapest that's not rubbish, recommendations most welcome

    Had a free blood pressure check at a local pharmacy. It was fine, which considering everything is frankly surprising 😁

    Contacted electoral services as I never got confirmation of my change of address and want to make sure my records match up as much as possible for future credit checks etc

    40 minute walk, found some books that were accepted by ziffit for £3.30 so can now cash out but will await a code

    Survey for 70p

    Dinner is leftover pasta bake

    Hope everyone has had a good start to the week x

  • It is highly unlikely one would find anything resembling zen in my mothers drawers 😂😂😂

    Yes I went there. Blame the petrol station Staropramen
  • Side note- breakfast cookies are a thing

    Perhaps the sulking was good for your blood pressure?
