    It has had two small short sprays to give an accurate review @Blackcats so I have done my reviewing duty but it could also be sold to someone else for use or gifting without it being a noticeably used thing (obviously I would say there have been two small short sprays, just thinking if someone was buying cheaper to gift they could without it being a 'used' item). It really is a beautiful bottle and I'm so tempted to keep it for display but that is a dreadful waste

    Thanks @Sun_Addict @doingitanyway @beanielou

    What would people think is an acceptable price to list it for (feel free to DM with offer 😂)? Sells at retail for £126 but has been opened and teeny bit sprayed...

    Usuals

    Someone came round to buy the cricket set

    Survey

    Shower and hairwash, still using the massive freebie bottle of conditioner

    Mr PIP used a birthday freebie voucher I was sent to get lunch near his work so that's a few quid saved

    Spec work

    Got a final offer of £50 from Octopus and an assurance that they have actually deleted my details from connection with this matter. Though that's what they said before. Absolute disgrace of a company, they will never be allowed in my home

    Friend is taking me out for early evening birthday supper, it's about half an hour away so will walk there and back. Better go and get ready! 🥂

    Sorry been AWOL so wishing you a belated happy birthday and birthday week. I usually take a birthday month in August so feel free to extend yours!

    Absolutely agree with selling the perfume and would have done so myself. Price wise? Perhaps half RRP? Never sure about this.

    Thank you @doingitanyway @Blackcats I am absolutely stuffed! Had aubergine parmigiana, one of my all time favourites 

    Thank you @Sallyforth, it's looking like turning into a birthday month at the moment! I was also thinking maybe half rrp, but don't want it to seem like a knock-off when it is definitely kosher 🤔 I'm also never sure about these things, will ponder for a while though until I get round to listing it as I hate doing listings and have plenty of bulkier things to get out the way before a pretty wee bottle!

    I would reccomend you check postage regulations if you are selling on line. I once lost a bottle of perfume to Royal Mail. I am not trying to put you off as I have successfully sent perfume but be aware. If you want to know more pm me.

    30 minute walk getting some olio bread

    Usuals

    20 minute walk dropping off a couple of sales

    Found a big pile of books all of which look rather good which is annoying as I need selling things money 😂
    Have put one aside for Mr PIP's Christmas stocking, another couple might be given to friends for birthdays if I think they'll like them after I've read them.
    One of them put me in mind of @foxgloves, The Green Witch by Arin Murphy-Hisc*ck

    Little survey cashout, shares to usual pots

    Only quarter very wussy situps as sore with ovulation cramps 🙄

    Small survey

    My poor fern has some sort of infestation so had a session cleaning its leaves

    Now having a bit of sitting in the garden time with Mr PIP, like fancy people with a key that actually works 😁

    Happy fern vibes coming your way as all my squirty shenanigans seem to have cured my poorly plants.

    We’re trying desperately to be like you guys enjoying our little private garden like posh folk. However, just spotted the despicable neighbour on CCTV coming the long way round just so he can leave our gate open. I’ve simply gone downstairs and quietly closed it - no big deal. He’s such a plonker!

    Enjoy your garden time in your own space.

    Thanks @Sallyforth, fern isn't looking at all happy. Will repot it and see if that helps.

    It's a communal garden for the block that several other blocks traipse through so not quite our own space but nice to at least be able to access it since it's included in the money we pay for service charge, obviously not that they ever service it!

    Ugh to your neighbour. Who even has time and energy to go out of their way to be that petty, and I say that as a petty person 😁
    I can't remember if you said you had some sort of sign to put up with the CCTV? Maybe a handwritten one on the gate reminding people 'this is a private garden so please treat it respectfully, CCTV is in operation at all times' might help some people's minds re-prioritise?
