An in-between phase

PennysIntoPounds

Today's advent jewellery is a bronze metal and diamanté horse and cart necklace, very OTT and I love it

We had a nice olio freebie earlier, a dark green fancy twirly Christmas tree stand. Interpreting it as a sign of encouragement from the universe that we will one day have a place of our own and be able to afford and fit in a lovely Christmas tree

Finally stopped mooching and managed:
Survey
Tidying
Admin
Comping

One hour carpet walk
Bits and bobs of small cleaning tasks that could have been easily ignored but were annoying me

Stroll with Mr PIP for beer (with camra discount)
Dinner is leftover cottage pie

Hope everyone is having a productively chill Sunday

The twirly Christmas tree stand is definitely a good sign of progress happening in 2025.

Shoulder very sore today so haven't quite smashed it but have dun:

Today's advent jewellery is a medley of three chunky necklaces, one plastic turquoise big beads, one gold metal leaves, and one white freshwater pearls on silver

Usuals

Trying to eat down freezer- peas for breakfast anyone?

Essentials from aldi, daft queue

Waited in for a meat delivery for Mr PIP and mum that was paid for with a butchers voucher that was part of a prize I won ages ago

Debobbled a jumper

Going to see a friend for a couple of drinks this evening as she's over from France, have convinced her to come to camra discount pub 😁🍻

Advent jewellery is a black goth glam bead necklace and black moon and star earrings

Missing my friend who I saw every Christmas eve and day today, missing me da as well. Big hugs and 🥂 to everyone feeling sadness amongst the jollities

Felt very much like I would prefer a lazy rest day but I also feel like Christmas is the end of the year rather than new years eve, so I made myself do all those annoying little lingering jobs that have been on the to-do list day after day

Usuals
Client Christmas emails
Small kettle clean (will have to be done more thoroughly again but main mank is gone!)

Chased up life admin emails
Seven receipt surveys (the pile is still big but at least goodly reduced!)
Dropped mum's stocking to her

40 minute walk recycling the old kettle
Beer with Mr PIP and saying happy Christmas to locals mates

Happy Christmas eve all, hope everything is in place for tomorrow to be enjoyable, or at least not get right on your nerves x

Happy Christmas to you and Mr Pip

Always miss my mom and MIL on Christmas Eve particularly. We used to do the exchange of presents run every Christmas Eve and have drinks and nibbles with them. Carried on the tradition by now hosting DS and the GKs. 

Hope you have a lovely relaxing Christmas 🎄
