    Well I woke up with period pains and Mr PIP woke up with a cold so productive day went out the window!

    20 minute walk getting essentials

    Admin
    Tidying
    Comping

    Receipt survey

    Survey cashout, shares to usual pots with a couple of quid in the Christmas pot to get it started

    Prepped a nutritious pasta bake

    Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning wine and cash please

    30 minute carpet walk

    The Big Rain has just arrived with some thunder so I'm now going to hunker down on the sofa and enjoy a cosy evening doing very little. Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday 🍻

    I love the imaginary scenario. I hope invigilating goes well

    Am also up for being a Dowager, but perhaps slightly later than Victorian. I could model myself on the fabulous Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess.    
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
