Had a 3am freak out about everything so not feeling great, but powered by crossness have done:
Admin
Tidying
Comping
Vinted money, shares to usual pots
Aim £10500
Got £384.00
Went to mums to print a label
Steps dropping off a vinted sale
Steps dropping off soft plastics recycling
Half wussy situps
Bit of flat clean
Laundry
Carpet walk
Steps meeting Mr PIP for a beer (with camra discount) to hear about his visit to the site (summary: we have to spend more money)
Dinner is spaghetti with cupboard sauce as I cannot be ars*d with anything more complex. Mr PIP found some more Christmas YS chocolate so I will be scoffing cadburys dairy milk with 'snowball bits', with the snooker on in the background 😊https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

Well thanks for the pic PiP. That was a real eye opener for me. Never knew such a thing existed!
But then my make up and skin routine drawer consists of ….er……oh nothing! It’s where I keep my HRT gubbins. I had a miserable menopause. Still on it as it’s a game changer. Be there forever if I have my way!1 -
Btw, crossness is the ultimate in getting things done. I bet they were three-quarter wussy sit-ups under that power but you were so cross you didn’t realise.2

The build hassle is the gift that keeps on giving 😖
I’m always powered by crossness 💪 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
So pleased that PIP's PIP is continuing unchanged.1

I didn't go through the menopause until I came off HRT finally in my 60s. They made me otherwise I woould still be on it. Very mild though but then came the arthritis in my hands If they are going to keep us working longer they are going to have to make it possible to do.4

My non-existent abs thank you @Slowdown 😁
Good to hear HRT is working for you, sorry you had a miserable menopause. I'll probably have a sh*t one like much else to do with my body, but a change is as good as a rest 🙄 Fingers crossed I'll finally be due a bit of time in my body without constant nonsense 🤞🤞🤞
We are literally cross-fit @Sun_Addict 🥂
Thanks @Blackcats and everyone, I did not realise how much I was anxious about it until I got the letter. Though it seems to have freed up a massive anxiety slot 😂
Hope your Da is enjoying the snooker @Blackcats!
That is a very good (and depressing) point @badmemory.
Maybe go back to your GP having done research and ask what updated guidelines apply if you feel it would be worth having back in your life?https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

I came off at 66 but I'm 79 now so a bit late for me, but I'm happy to serve as a warning! My sister was still on it into her 70s. If I had known then what I know now I would have fought a lot harder.2

Could I just ask what you use to de bobble? I need an expert opinion 😀.2

Apparently some women do get it again later in life @badmemory so have an online search and see if you feel its worth presenting your case
Hi @cbsexec, it'll be a worrying day for everyone when I'm considered an expert on anything domestic 😁
But I use Philips fabric shaver and really rate it.
Make sure to search for best price and go through a cashback site if possible!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1
