  • Bit tired today what with joints and probably pre-menstrual, feeling a bit down about not having a place of our own and how cramped I am but its not gonna happen without perseverance so got to keep on keeping on

    So today's mse things:

    Admin and a few advent comps

    Bits of cleaning and changed the bedding which my joints were not pleased about

    Felt a bit guilty not leaving flat but not enough to go out and get rained on unnecesarily so did 15 mins of walking on the spot indoors

    Ordered a gift for Mr PIP and as I wanted similar, mum was happy for me to add it to the order so I got free delivery and she got a no-effort gift sorted

    Put up another item for the Olio competition

    Felt horribly inactive so did wussy situps, hopefully my shoulder won't scream at me for it tomorrow

    Realised it was the deadline for the first round of the Tesco christmas competition today so hauled my lazy backside up the road and bought a £1 chocolate for Mr PIP's stocking and uploaded the receipt

    I want to also get for his stocking the peanut butter beer @Essex_Hebridean mentioned but need to work out how plausible it is to find and collect one can. Don't want to be tempted into buying more than intended by getting delivery...

    Mum has volunteered to make spag bol this evening which is one of my favourites so I'm looking forward to that, and will be good to use up some of the veg in the fridge before getting anything more in

    I'm going to have a glass of red wine and probably flake out with the crossword and a book, but will try to do at least some of the surveys and receipt surveys that have been piling up over the last couple of days.

    Hope everyone's having a thoroughly lovely Sunday x

    I loathe mince pies.  Hopefully that helps you narrow down your dinner party menu for your MSE friends when Ernie makes you a PB £1m winner.
    No beans with my egg and chips and no mince pies for @beanielou and me.  Oh and I don't like red wine.  I can share rose cava with @Sun_Addict though.
