@PennysIntoPounds. I have the good reads app. I note all the books I have read . Also handy as I buy most of my books from charity shops, so I can check and see what I have read,so I do not read the same book twice.I am a Senior Ambassador on the Competitions Time Board and the Old Style MoneySaving Board.

That does sound handy if you're getting lots of books from charity shops @I_Love_comps, I have a big pile of street finds so alright for unread books for now- and I love re-reading enjoyed books, the only time I'm grateful for being able to vaguely forget details!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

Usuals
15 minute carpet walk
10 minute walk retrieving our planter from our garden that we're STILL locked out of. Rarely open gate from across the block was open so we pounced from the back. Found 2p
Laundry
Allocated HMRC compo to current account and flat pot
20 minute walk dropping off a vinted sale and getting ys sarnies for Mr PIP's work trip tomorrow (and one for me so I'm not jealous 😂)
We also wanted to get ys chocolate but as it was past its best before (not use by!) computer said no. I asked if we could buy them anyway, or just have them for free but human said no
20 minute walk for Sunday beers, hope everyone has had a spot of sun and is allowing good vibes only 🍻
Dinner is freezer pizza with salad. Wholesome cooking will have to wait till I have energy and a functioning shoulder. Not particularly gutted about this 😁

We were eventually given a key last week @KajiKita. It doesn't work. Neither does our neighbours key.
Quelle surprise.
