15 minute walk to food co-op. Costs £3, reckon we got about £10 worth. Found 2p
Laundry
Receipt survey
Comping
Prep for dinner
30 minutes walk collecting some lounge trousers from Olio. Only realised when I got back they're brand new with tags still on, and usually cost £65.
Part of me thinks I should try to sell them for the flat pot but I think I'll just guiltily enjoy having something cosy I wouldn't be able to spend on for myself
Survey
50 minute walk with Mr PIP to have a pint and a catch up, found six McMo tokens
Dinner is cheese and onion mashed potato with baked beans

You have earned the trousers with a 30minute walk. If you like them and they fit dont even think about selling them.

Keep the trousers, you deserve them. Great pick up 🙂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

You won’t get £65 for them second hand. Enjoy them 😊 It’s the Universe deciding you need a pick me up 😉❤️

If they fit perfectly then they re clearly intended for you, and as they have now found their rightful owner it would be quite frankly cruel to send them away again now.
