An in-between phase

Haha @foxgloves it's a full pack of garlic slices and a full pack of mozzarella sticks so definitely no tummy room for chips, although it should leave just enough space for some dessert of Terry's chocolate orange 😁
I'm vaguely trying to cut down on junk food but when my body goes overly painful I feel entirely justified of all the lovely unhealthy things on the grounds of needing comfort, needing extra calories for moving and healing, and also the grounds of however 'good' I am I'll still be in constant pain for the rest of my life so sod that for a lark!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

Where did I pluck Wendells from? Wenzels. Wenzels the bakery. This is what happens when I don't get pastry wrapped protein 😂
Anyway, happy Friday all!
Entered Omaze flash draw before post was collected
Quarter wussy situps. This may have been a mistake, shoulder-wise
Usuals
Deferred shower and hairwash until tomorrow to give shoulder a chance to recover a bit. Frustrating but sensible. Wanted to clean the flat too. Oh well.
Lots of bits and bobs off the to-do list though, including some that were threatening to lurk for weeks
Entered some competitions by post
Finished a book (Gregg Hurwitz, Dark Horse from the Orphan X series) while eating leftovers for lunch
20 minute carpet walk
Three surveys
Four receipt surveys
£20 survey cashout and £12.49 from ziffit, shares to tax/current/flat/mothers day
£100 from HMRC, blimey. They didn't c*ck it up or take forever. I'm nervous. This isn't usual. Will decide how to allocate when I get over the shock.
Mr PIP wants to treat us to an end of month takeaway which I am more than happy with. Might get Greek, I fancy a veggie moussaka
Have a lovely Friday evening everyone 🥂

Hope your shoulder settles down quickly.
end of month takeaway is a great idea of MrPIP. Our menfolk are doing well today as MrBC has just made onion bhajis and poured me a glass of wine.1 -
Excellent work from MrBC @Blackcats. Ooh I fancy an onion bhaji now 😂
Btw, does anyone know why my profile says I have 26 threads when in fact I have 6?

PennysIntoPounds There is always room for dessert. Everyone has a second stomach just for the sweet stuff so there is always room. That my theory anyway.

Absolutely @ladyholly, cows have four stomachs so we must do too, basic science innit
@Blackcats you and MrBC are a bad influence!
We got our Greek takeaway but also had to get onion bhajis from the Indian, and they gave us free poppadoms and dipping sauceshttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1
