Nothing like a good flounce.Hope the invigilating wasnt too arduous.1

I like the sound of your scenario.My daughter has a scenario for when she wins the euromillions rollover £squillions. Obviously she will liaise with you as to when you want to win your jackpot and when she wins hers. In her scenario she takes her kids (straight from a muddy rugby pitch, freshly buzzing after half a pint of Kia ora and enjoying a large ice cream) to the snooty pants estate agents in our village. Mrs snooty pants estate agent has previously treated my daughter like she is some kind of sub-class. Daughter will then ask to view the most expensive house on their books and enjoy the reaction.2

I love that scenario, @Blackcats. I too remember an experience with a snotty estate agent, so your DD's plan really resonates.

Yesterday was:
Usuals
Quarter wussy situps
Invigilating
Beer with camra discount with a friend I hadn't seen for a couple of years
Having a bit of a dip with build, everything is getting on my nerves and stressing me out and I don't even want to move. Ah well, needs must. Upset that I can't justify the cost to go to a family do later this month. Resenting build.
Today was:
Usuals
PB money to usual pots
Shower and hairwash
Used asda voucher to buy a pack of beer online. Was trying to faff with maximising it and getting the £10 voucher reduction on a £40 spend to avoid extra delivery charge but it was just stressing me unnecessarily so I thought I might as well get some beers for the fridge and have done with it
Won £50 bar tab
Build admin
30 minute walk getting bits for Mr PIP's birthday with survey vouchers
Up early for invigilating tomorrow. It's going to be 32 degrees in London. So I expect about 42 degrees in the sports hall!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase
