January aims
Keep getting any monies into build pot, mothers day pot, mums birthday pot, and current account
Make effort keeping up with steps and situps. An even keel of bothering with basic movement is grand.
Some sort-outs of corners and cupboards and whatnot. Don't want to stress myself in hibernation time and don't want to be nagging at Mr PIP when it's a task I've created, but would also be nice to feel like when we do move, we are largely only moving with items we have actually looked at and thought about. We shall see, no big stress, but good to do if we can.
Use up bits and bobs of toiletries samples and half used things. Face definitely isn't going to object to extra moisturiser at this time of year!
Keep eating down the cupboards. I feel like eating things is something that is very much achievable 😁https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

Does it count if you declutter Tesco of their Christmas cake? At 93p it would have been rude not to buy 31

Whilst still swollen and a bit achey @KajiKita it has gone down more quickly than before so here's hoping it'll be sorted in next couple of days.
I didn't see anyone (ha!) about it as I don't expect anyone would say anything other than 'antihistamine and painkiller, come back in a week if it hasn't gone away'. No point wasting their time and mine as I'm baffled and I know what I've been near!
Walloping myself in my sleep is still a contender, no reason why it shouldn't happen again if it's happened once...
Spag bol was delicious 😊https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1
