Dinner of champions @beanielou
They're really making me smile @Sun_Addict. Isn't it often the way that things that cost less mean more. He'd said he wanted to get me a nice bunch since my friend died but they never had any when he was able to go by- and he knows that being an MSEer I wouldn't be as pleased with him having spent an unnecessary amount when there's more budget friendly and charitable flowers to be had!

Poor Mr PIP's crown has fallen out so he needs to rustle up money for dental work now. His brother owes him a bit for various 'build' bills so hopefully he can afford to contribute quickly.
One week on and no acknowledgement from chief exec's office about 'build'. Will try to muster the energy to call the switchboard and check if there are other contact options tomorrow
45 minute walk getting discounted pizza from lidl, found three McMo tokens and 2p, which was in a puddle by a bus stop so I walked on by then thought I couldn't let @WelshmansDaughter down so went back and got it 😁
Hip had a little dislocate on way back so extra tired now
Popped paper I got for mum while out over, returned with some veggie splodge (cannellini beans this time)
Was procrastinating so went to the pub (that does camra discount) to do some spec work. I do like sitting by myself with a pint and the rain coming down
Dinner is clearing space in the freezer by using various pasta leftovers

Yaaay, the splodge has reappeared 😊🎉🥳
Well done on getting the spec work done 👏😊 and commiserations to Mr PiP about the crown - hopefully it just needs sticking back on and there is nothing sinister happening underneath where it was … 🤞

28 minute walk dropping off a vinted sale.
Found nine McMo tokens, and a bag of clothing which I'll assess for vinted or take to charity shop
Half hour on hold but got an alternative email address for Chief Exec office. Apparently no phone numbers exist
Spec work
Dinner is the pasta we didn't eat yesterday as the pizza was calling to us
