An in-between phase

Octopods arrived bright and early to fit electric smart meter, hopefully that will run smoothly

Survey
Small hissy fit at phone insisting it do an upgrade, so had to undo its 'improvements'

A third wussy situps

Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning a bundle of posh things, but 2k would be really handy too please

Was waiting in for WBB to collect box so chased various bits and bobs

Resisted pub

10 minute carpet walk

Trying to make myself do a tedious listing. May have to bribe myself with a sofa beer

Dinner is M&S meal deal Mr PIP got in after discovering a forgotten few quid on a voucher, so that's a nice treat for a very February-y Monday!

Blackcats

Enjoy the meal deal.
were you specific when you were liaising about access to the garden.  Did you ask for a key or a key that opened the lock?  In a no blame culture you will probably find it was your fault.

I will write to them immediately with a grovelling apology for any hurty feelings caused by my outrageous expectation of being able to access things we own and space we pay for, thank you for making me a better person @Blackcats

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

Humph … 🙄

Does anyone you know have a working copy you could borrow to get some correct keys cut?

Glad the smart meter installation went smoothly. Never had a problem with ours. You’ll be able to get the free coffee now ☕️ 

M&S meal deal on a Monday sounds wonderfully decadent. 

What the heck is going off with the keys 🧐

Of course not @kajikita 😂 We've all been given the same defunct key.

There'd better be free coffee @Sun_Addict, it's literally the only reason I signed up to these shenanigans!

Joints so sore today but Ernie cheered me up by giving me £200, thank you Ernie. Will send shares to flat pot, current account, and reach mothers day pot target. Such a relief!

Braved a shower and hairwash

Got possibly the grumpiest response I've ever seen from an institution, but bank will be sending £25 for me to leave them alone and stop banging on about my 6p and their awful livechat 😂
Would thank them but it's from a no reply email.

30 minute walk getting a soap, face mask, and mini Jo Malone hand cream from olio. Found an embroidered cushion

Spec work

Walk and wfp with Mr PIP (with camra discount), dinner is potato croquettes nom

I don’t know why but your grumpy response plus £25 to make you go away has made me smile. Thank you for that 😊 And big Yaay! for the PBs win 😊🤩
