An in-between phase

Slowdown

Woohoo on the win 💷💷💷
Im hoping it’s going to be a huge jar of sun dried tomatoes! 🍅 Yum 😋

Great news on the win! Ernie remembered us last month but not this time, but it is always fun planning what to do with it if we did win, of course.
I've been progressing Christmas presents too. I love getting it done early. It both spreads the cost & frees up more time for other festive activities nearer the time.

Thanks @Slowdown, it's not any size at the moment (see below post!)

Thanks @foxgloves, no win for me last month so very pleased with this. I'm trying to find a red wine that will suit my friend's palate but isn't what she always has, and for it to be bargainous. Sadly this means trying the reds included in aldis wine of the week every week. The things we do for our friends

Used a tinted moisturiser for a review site. Not really feeling it, which is a relief as I didn't want it to be amazing and tempt me to spend money on it

Ziffit box collected
Comping

One hour walk getting bits from the annoying bits list- except pretty much everything I was trying to get wasn't available 😂
Found 2p though

Small bit of spec work
20 minute walk getting more bits from the annoying list- which also weren't available 😂

Won a £10 omaze prize!
Only good for spending on omaze but a win's a win-
Clicked through and can't claim it as it's not on my account 😂

Did my free hair products review

Entered some competitions, I don't know where I'm going to put all these hampers but I expect I'll manage

Going to mum's for dinner this evening, we are having veggie spag bol, hurrah

Well done on yet another PB win 🥳👏 You’re very lucky with them I’ve won absolutely zilch so far ☹️

I used to be a tester for The Beauty Bible but can honestly say there were very few things that I thought were that good, some of them were really expensive too.

I am sorry you are having to test the red wines for your friend. It must be very hard.

Slowdown

Ah! I take it the sun dried toms weren’t available. ☹️ But you found 2p which will buy you perhaps an extra snippet of tomato when you do find them. 😋

Last week I tried four different shops to buy taramasalata and they were all out. I love a poppy seed cracker slathered in it so I was very disappointed too. 

Looking forward to hearing all about the hampers you will be winning soon. 😁

Chased hospital trust who have chosen to ignore me for another week

25 minute walk picking up fixed handbag and dropping off a vinted sale. Did spend £1.25 on ritz crackers but it has a competition attached and we're going to keep them for a mse date night in. Resisted thorntons bites which were only a quid and I love. Might still crumble like caramel covered shortbread and get them I must admit

Kitchen clean

20 minute walk with Mr PIP to WFP

Dinner is aldi pizza with red pepper added

Feeling a bit guilty about inclining towards not going to do an in-person product research group on Thurs evening. Could do with a £100 voucher but could also do with not going out and coming back late in the cold and dark, in an area I don't know, when there's a tube strike. Am I being really lazy and not having eyes on the flat pot prize? (Btw I'm not feeling guilty about letting them down as I would tell them in advance and they have sent me a different time AND day to what I opted in for)

No need for guilt! That reads to me like a risk assessment and I would score that as unnecessarily high a risk / inconvenience especially as you can rebook it 😊

It’s the Thorntons Brazil nut toffee that I can’t leave alone! 🤩❤️😂

Both good choices but for me it has to be the Viennese truffles.  I like those bite things, quite a contained portion and I only feel slightly sick if I eat in the whole packet.

and now I want to walk down to the co op in the dark to get a pack. Risk assessment says No. same for your Thursday thing if no tubes.

(made worse by the fact that I am very slowly eating veg stir fry).
