Popped over to mums to do some present and card shuffling for people

Family friends now coming later in month so will have to do an extra clean then as well, poor flat won't know what's going on!

Quarter wussy situps
Couple of receipt surveys

Mr PIP is away overnight on a work trip so I shall try to use my time productively and get some tedious listings done *pours motivational baileys*

Have cleaned, photographed, and listed on various places A Big Item as well as wrapping a Christmas gift so am calling that a successful evening unless I get a wave of energy 

There is a Terry's chocolate freebie to be had if you can get the site to submit, I think their website has crashed! No harm seeing if it works for you though

Darn - sadly it looks like they've reached capacity on that one PiP! I did finally find a C@dbury's secret santa poster the other week though - send a bar to my Mum which she was delighted with!

Oh well done @EssexHebridean, those are like gold dust!

Thursday's things:

Ah, nothing says Christmas like attempting to poo in a tub
(Dr's orders, not a very unusual tradition)

Today's advent jewellery is a magnificent gold metal ornate panelled necklace

Tiny bit of spec work

Finished Christmas wrapping, hooray

Went through the old rejected ziffit pile and they accepted some so that's another few quid in the basket

Shortly having a quick post work group drink with the partner of my friend who died so it'll be good to see her, though not good for the budget as this gastropub is eye-wateringly expensive!

Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning wine and jimjams

Waited in for heating engineer again, hopefully fixed this time. Must read the manual and set the timer. Probably not this year though.

Going to try to do some more tedious listings this evening...

I don’t know why but I read that as you were looking forward to winning wigwams 🤣🤣 Time to go to bed maybe 😆

So I read that as poo in a pub. Couldn’t work out why your GP would want you to do that!! Took me reading it twice before I realised it said tub🤣🤣. It’s been a long week !!

Hmm, maybe *I* misheard @southern_chick. Will make sure to go to the pub tomorrow just in case the doctor advised it 👍


Oops, didn't say yesterday my advent jewellery was a pair of earrings from a friend- if anyone wants to join us for A Very MSE Advent you'd be most welcome
