Slept for a ludicrously long time, could have done more but thought I'd better get up while it was still morning!
Usuals
Shower and hairwash
Got paid for last months invigilating, how exciting. Can't touch it until I've worked out what is going on with this employment role and being self-assessment freelance with other jobs though, don't want to make myself cry by realising I owe more tax than I thought!
£50 survey cashout to usual pots
50 minute walk with Mr PIP getting free lidl muffin and a couple of discounted soaps (that we need anyway) for a competition! Beer on way back and dinner is a delicious smelling pasta bake with loadsa garlic and some roquefort that needed using up in the sauce
Hope everyone is having a good weekend 🥂3 -
Happy Father's Day to those who celebrate, and big hugs to those who find it a more difficult day
Usuals
Half wussy situps
Olio sale for £5
£10 asda giftcard not dodgy. Will have to think how to best utilise it as there's not an asda near me
Receipt surveys and product reviews
25 minute walk getting essentials
Flat clean
Up early for invigilating tomorrow, hope everyone's week gets off to a good start5 -

I don't do crosswords but trying to understand them. I can see that contenders compete but what is the significance of 'take in offers'
Invigilating and a walk to your mums. You have done well today
