I can understand why the build is making you feel fed up.  It's omni present and seems to require so much attention and money.  It will be worth it in the end!

EH is such a bad influence 🤣

Had a lovely catch up with friend who brought a bottle of nice red wine as a belated birthday gift, and I found two 5p's on the street

Have drafted an uppity email to broker about lender as their valuation report is well overdue, and sent a pleasant but slightly uppity message to builder asking them to deal with the admin issue they were meant to weeks ago.
Have been trying to maintain friendly terms with all the various factors of this build but think I've got to, or rediscovered, the point where actually we do entirely need them but we're the ones paying so maybe people could not treat us like mugs/like they're the ones in charge here. Hopefully this will not come back and bite us but I am too fed up with everyone's sh*t from every angle

Dinner is crackers and cheeses and salad sticks, dinner of summer champions 🥂

Ugh to those involved with the build 😖

Glad you had a lovely catch up and acquired both cash and a bottle of red 🍷

Great work being firm with those on build project.

You are playing it well with the build. A difficult line to walk...
Glad you had a catch up with a friend bearing gifts

Pip money to Pip account and a little taken off for flat and Christmas pots which I feel slightly guilty about, don't know why when it's my own money

Additional couple of quid to flat and Christmas pots from world of books finding the items I 'hadn't included' once I'd objected 🙄

25 minute walk getting essentials and Mr PIP's birthday chocolates. Good lord, £6.75 for a medium box of Milk Tray. Thank you past me for doing surveys so I had a voucher towards it!

Flat clean with minimal products

Steps meeting Mr PIP for beer and catch up as he did a site visit today. Apparently builder looked suitably embarrassed at not having done this key part of admin and for invoicing us for a construction stage before it was complete. They are still in my bad books but I am open to slightly thawing.

Hope everyone is having a grand Saturday 🥂

I didn’t realise you could still get Milk Tray. Bit of a blast from the past. Did you deliver them through a window while sporting black clothing 🤣
