An in-between phase

Usuals
£175 PB win, thank you Ernie 😊

25 minute walk getting milk with coop offer and picking up some olio brand new earrings. They're very pretty, not sure whether to gift or keep yet but feels reassuring to have them in the potential gifts bag for now

Popped over to mums for a cuppa, her friend has given her some clothes for me to sell

Free exercise of half wussy situps

Various bits off the to-do list (mainly writing them on other to-do lists tbh)

Walk and beer time with Mr PIP. We're both very stressed atm and are trying to make the most of any opportunities to do something nice and chill and spend (budgeted) money on not the bloody build!

Mr PIP got a ys pizza which was even more reduced with coop members offer so we will be having that for dinner with salad

Hope everyone is having a good start to August and a good Saturday

Ok. I have to go back to this. Amid all other chaos. A picture frame with a worried looking leopard?? Or did I imagine that sentence?

Well done on another PB win 🥳 Ernie is paying you the jackpot in instalments 😆 What’s your secret strategy for winning?

I thought it would be you who highlighted that @Slowdown 😁

Thank you @Sun_Addict, I wonder if I can get an estate agent to agree to let me pay for a house on that basis 🤔 😁
Honestly no secrets but it does seem to be true that if you buy them in batches you have a better chance of winning something, don't know why

Had a chronic pain condition bowel incident yesterday evening so felt a bit miserable and degraded about that, but there we go, such is life. At least I was at home and not in a public place this time, small blessings. And it is Sunday so no bad vibes allowed!

Usuals

Half an hour walk getting an olio bundle of two loaves of bread, an apple, a bag of eschalion shallots, and a bag of pasta. Met a nice doggo (and owner) in the street.

Started on the big flat clean including clean bed sheets (not due to aforementioned incident I hasten to add) 😊

Remembered just in time that no bad vibes are allowed on a Sunday before I had a complete meltdown about the brokers emailing me on a Sunday asking for their arrangers fee.
They ended the email 'let us know if you have questions' so I replied 'as per our last email (that they still haven't responded to) why has the potential lender based the valuation on putting a completely wrong figure in'.
Should also have put 'are we not paying you enough to include the word 'any' before 'questions''. Once again no reply when it's their problem. Agh! No bad vibes! No bad vibes!

Longish walk with Mr PIP for Sunday afternoon beer, found a book, made good progress on the free crossword, we are treating ourselves to chippie tea after a very trying week. Hope everyone is having an only good vibes Sunday 🍻
