Achey, tired and grumpy today. Shoulders feel like they're on back to front. Not a huge amount has been done, but:
Tidying

Comping
Couple of olio collections of my free listings
15 minute carpet walk
Shower and hairwash
Got a couple of cardboard boxes from mums for Mr PIP to make his Christmas hampers
Mr PIP saved the day and my mood by doing two trips to the post office to send an ebay sale, apparently the postage the buyer bought that ebay recommended wasn't enough, and you're not allowed to make up the difference! Madness.
So off he went again with my book of stamps and the buyer's handwritten address, and got it sent off 🤞
Going to mums choir Christmas concert this evening, and my advent jewellery is a very bling cocktail ring. Hope everyone has a pleasant Saturday night x

PIP, it was worth you posting that Terry's link just for the amusement of seeing that they have written "Santa's sack is now full of balls" 🤣🤣🤣 I can't decide whether it was intentional, or they've not clocked what they've written 🤣!
Well done to Mr PIP, what a legend 😀

@South_coast 🤣🤣 Either that’s intentional or they’ve not thought it through 🤣🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

A third wussy situps. My back has not thanked me
Small flat clean
£18.50 received from vinted to flat pot
Did a tedious listing
Stroll with Mr PIP for a Sunday beer, saw our pub pals who gave us their weekend paper supplements
Dinner is cheesy potatoes with baked vine tomatoes- and because it's Christmas, added Stilton
Advent jewellery is a pair of vintage silver art deco earrings
Hope everyone is having a good day, remember no bad vibes allowed on a Sunday!

I'm really enjoying reading about people's advent jewellery. I got rid of most of mine a couple of years ago & only have a couple of bracelets left plus some rings which I can no longer wear but keep for sentimental reasons. One of the joys of swollen arthritic joints. So ladies if you have rings wear them while you can!

It was so yum @redofromstart
Could you wear one or several rings on a necklace chain @badmemory? And you can still join in with mse advent with any accessories like scarves etc, or items of clothing you 'keep for best' and therefore end up never wearing!1 -
What a good idea. So tomorrow dancing girl cameo ring, my favorite, my grandmothers.1

Miserable about lack of build progress, and that it would have been my dad's birthday today. Stressing that we're not going to be able to afford to live anywhere in a year. Joints sore. Slept badly with worrying.
The usuals and a survey
Had a £2 off shop from coop advent so got a loaf of bread and a chocolate bar for 28p
Collected a free lip conditioner from olio
Advent jewellery is some grey tones glass and bead elastic bracelets
Hope everyone's week has got off to a cheerier start than mine 🙂
