Had a lovely lunch and a couple of drinks with my friend. The city was very busy, I always forget how busy when I haven’t been in for a while 😱
Back at work today but I have a break which is ideal for lunch, back out soon after a cuddle with the cat. Payout received from 0nep0ll - half towards savings and other half covered my train fare yesterday that I had taken from the wrong account so saves transferring.

Managed to get to the gym yesterday and had a swim followed by a sauna and jacuzzi, I enjoyed it but really enjoyed my coffee in the bar afterwards - felt very indulgent and relaxing 😂.I was out early this morning but then had a gap as someone cancelled so I hit the gym, was back, showered and on the sofa with a cup of tea by 9:30😂 back out again soon but not for long as I have another cancellation but means I can come back for lunch.
I had another payout from pr0lif!c yesterday so not doing too badly this month, also have an extra seven hours this week so still clocking up the overtime.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Really busy week at work but on the upside I stuck to my diet and managed some exercise and didn’t spend much at all.
Went into town this morning and got a few more presents. Then went to visit DM and gave DF a lift home and set up his new phone for him🙄
I had a lovely curry with cauliflower rice, I made the curry a couple of weeks ago when I was younger and more energetic 😂
Out with DS and GF tomorrow, hopefully I’ll get to the gym beforehand.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Pondering on how to generate the quantum timeslip where a younger self does useful things like prepare one’s dinner …. Perhaps I could bring my previous self back to sort out my current garden …? 🤔<wanders off to consult *deep* physics books>
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
