An in-between phase

I am tempted by the moisturiser but decided against it having just bought 2 new bottles (have been having difficulty in finding it recently so have been looking for a while so grabbed 2 bottles when I saw it - was all there was on the shelf!)

Eep @joedenise what is this wildly exclusive moisturiser you're using?! I want some 😂

February aims
Keep trying with movement and exercise
Carry on getting any money into build pot, current account, Mr PIP's birthday pot, next year's LISA pot.
Continue with sort-outs, the easy-going little by little approach is making this work well
Eating down the cupboards and using up toiletries still very much on the agenda, it has been being done so all good
Be excellent (and vaguely awake with early starts!) at invigilating this forthcoming week
Keep my cool with build admin and people's nonsense
Be present and grateful to be living here and win one million pounds so we can buy a place round here, absolutely solid plan 🥂

Here's hoping agent million knocks on both our doors tomorrow! We are allowed to hope just not holding my breath.

Just the cheap moisturiser from Boots @ about £1.50 a bottle! It works for my skin so I'm sticking with it but it seems likely that they are going to stop stocking it as I had to try 3 different stores to get it this month. I used to use their unfragranced one but they stopped that a couple of years ago! Not so keen on the cucumber one but it's better than a lot of others I've tried.

Great February aims there @PennysIntoPounds!
If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

I've resisted the temptation to go and spend the £1 on the MSE offer as I've got plenty of those sorts of products so it would be a "because it's there" purchase - get ME being all sensible and MSE!
Good February aims there PiP - I too am intending to continue with the using up of things - freezer 1 actually has space in it now which is wholly unusual!
