An in-between phase

No update from me yesterday as I was doing even more gallivanting, it's still my birthday month 😁

Had more in my tax pot for last tax year than needed so sent that to current account and flat pot along with some sale money

Shower and hairwash
Half wussy situps
20 minute walk getting essentials from aldi, treating myself to a pint at the posh pub. It's still my birthday month 😂

Finished a book, The Bee Sting by Paul Murphy. Very much recommend

I'm loving the continual extension of the birthday celebrations! I've often had birthday months, it's nice to spread it all out. I hope you're enjoying every bit of it x

There's always the post-birthday month to celebrate too.  And don't sell yourself short because you need to factor in that there are only 30 days in June even though one of them is the longest day.

One of my friends and her daughter spun out their 60th and 40th birthday celebrations for a whole year!

Given the crammed state of the calendar it'll be going on into July @rachmac3, but I think a full birthday month comprising of the weeks on both sides is perfectly acceptable 😂🍻

Thank you for your wise words @Blackcats, I wouldn't want to accidentally mug myself of birthday niceness

Good for them @Sun_Addict, darn right!
I think I only let myself relax and give myself permission to enjoy life being nice when it's birthday or Christmas, and while one has to reign it in a bit the rest of the time for balance, health, and productivity, it does remind me that life is there to be enjoyed. Today I spent a lot of time reading and felt slightly guilty that I wasn't doing other things then remembered 'you are literally only doing the other things to try to achieve the sort of life where you can enjoy what you can actually do now today you daft mare!'

Woke up horribly early for a weekend so have been cracking on with The Things all day;

Usuals

Weekly flat clean including all the hoovering

Laundry

Changed bedding

Half the rooms have had their big monthly clean

Initiated some survey cashouts

25 minute walk dropping off plastics recycling.
Aldi has a 4.99 reduced from 8.99 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc if anyone's interested

Receipt survey

Watered all the plants and windowboxes

Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning lots of money please but I will also take 12 bottles of wine off their hands

Now I am going to sit on the sofa with my bargain wine!

Happy Sunny Saturday all 🥂

Marlborough Sauvignon is my favourite - just saying fyi 😉

Thanks for letting me know @Blackcats 😂🥂
It's actually a really interesting wine, I was uncertain at first as it doesn't have that punchy mouthfeel you would usually get with a decent Sauv B but then the usual juicy fruit tones come through but with a nice dryness that's much more like picpoul.
Will definitely be looking at the budget to see what supplies can be got in while it's on offer

Sauvignon Blanc - meal in a glass - lovely 😋 I find the ones from Chile are the best.

Gallivanting is always an excellent idea. I need to do more gallivanting. In fact I will add it to my 2026 NY resolutions...
Enjoy your bargain wine
