An in-between phase

Thanks @KajiKita, don't feel like we're achieving much at the moment, it's like being in a build zombie game where every time you think you've defeated the million build admin zombies you turn a corner and there's another million build admin zombies coming at you with their arms stretched out for your time and money and energy.

Anyway, I'm sure we'll be perkier tomorrow. Period and chronic pain condition not helping with energy but a good night's sleep should see us at least right-er.

I did get out of a massive slump earlier with tea and biscuits and seeing a big fox having a nice snooze 😊

Mr PIP's going to the site tomorrow then seeing his mates in the evening, I'm hopefully getting all the things that weren't done today and also tomorrow's to-do list done, but with a good attitude.

Mothers Day on Sunday so I will be taking me mam out for a roast with plentiful wine and nattering. Glad I put some money aside in a pot, gastropub prices are 😭 Not that she would get huffy if I said I couldn't afford it, just a whinge about prices in general! Looking forward to some quality time and * whisper * possibly relaxing for a few hours 😲

The Mothers Day lunch out sounds fabulous. I’m sure your mum will appreciate it.

Prices are indeed very scary. Glad you’ve saved up for your mum.

Well personally I am sulking because Mother's day is on Sunday. I usually get 2 days in March when I can convince DS to eat with me but this year I only get the one AND it should be a big one AND I have no idea what we are going to eat. But as it is a big one my sister paid for the birthday lunch and gave me a small birthday gift too, so not really all bad!

Re-read your Julius Caesar & as the witch says beware the Ides of March. I mean what idiot gets born on the anniversary of his assassination. Et tu Brute.

😂 @badmemory

Lots of Idiots of March around for sure *gestures at both build and state of the world *

Your Sunday sounds lovely but you must absolutely have another celebration all to yourself where you do nothing but what you please with all lovely things day and night, can't be being mugged by the calendar 🥂

Got a call from mum saying the newsagents had given her the wrong paper this morning and her back hurts so could I pop down, mission accomplished 💪

Got vinted money through so build pot:

Aim £1112.45

Yes that £1 off £12 is annoying 😂
