Ta @rachmac3 and @KajiKita, and I will update but I know there's a big jar of piquantè peppers that hasn't even been thought about in over a year that's getting on my nerves, and a bag of rice we never choose over pasta, and too many random jars of spices and whatnot that haven't been touched for goodness knows how long. I feel a concoction coming on!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

Usuals
Went round mums to vacuum, definitely counts as free exercise as I don't half ache!
Mr PIP got us a new broadband contract and will hopefully get some cashback
I ordered my belated birthday gift of perfume and will hopefully get some cashback
Walk with Mr PIP to see if nearest TKs had a suitable and budget friendly gift for a young nephew, found a nice Nordi style cardigan for a reasonable price. As we're going to be living next to him we're trying to encourage him to be a quiet child by dressing him like a librarian.
Also got some cheap vitamins from Savers
Beer with camra discount as a reward for our hard work
Dinner is pizza which Mr PIP found at a very reduced price
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday and feeling like you're going into the new month and Autumn with good vibes 🍻https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

Do any of my lovely Team Tuppence know owt about capital gains tax? Mr PIP was sure he'd read on an official website that we'd need to live there for minimum of three years or have a massive 'fine' but I can't find anything mentioning that. It'll be our only property and we'll be living in it..https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase
