Cheery's path to fulfilment - finishing the DIY, looking after myself, appreciating the garden 🌻

How irritating! No chance you can contact them and beg a refund?

Perhaps - I have a vague memory that the reason I didn't cancel it last time was because I couldn't figure out how to! Will check through the bank. 

Just done another couple of Prolific studies, now standing at 

£36.86 cleared
£6.37 pending

Pretty good!

I put some washing on this morning, but the weather is all over the place. I can't decide whether to peg it out to take advantage of the sun and wind, or keep it in to avoid the showers! Might risk pegging it out - the sky is pretty blue at the minute...

I’ve pegged mine out and I’m watching the sky closely

@Cheery_Daff - perhaps you can cancel the direct debit via your bank account - I recently found that option on mine, when I was trying to set up a new monthly s/o!

Cheery_Daff

Yep, just cancelled it through the banking app - which makes me wonder why on earth I didn't do it before! 🙄

Washing out, and I think most of it will be nicely dry soon 😊

It was nice while I was out (albeit windy!) so I retrieved the recycling bin from the top of the drive, and picked a big jug full of damsons. Not sure what I'll do yet - there are still plenty on the tree. 

Made some pear pancakes (just a thick batter with grated pears from a friend's tree), and topped with some of my homemade gooseberry jam from last year 😊 Made me all excited about preserving again 😊

Meeting a friend for an online chat in half an hour, so I might go and retrieve the washing before then, and pick some sage to dry. 😊

Evening chums 😊

Hope you are all being nicey frugal today 😊

We had a lazy morning, then took the treats budget out for a cuppa. Will add up the totals in a bit. 

Nice wander round a more-touristy-than-our-local town, and another cuppa on a bench by the river watching the ducks 😊

A nice calm day, although I'm still ridden with flashes of annoyance and anxiety which seem to be plaguing me at the minute 😬

Home now. Mr C is having a nap. I've hoovered downstairs (before his nap!), cleaned the bathroom, washed the kitchen floor, and am now making a spot of wholesome food.

An evening of crochet in front of a film or two beckons - i feel too grumpy for much else. I hope that will restore me to cheerfulness as tomorrow I have to go and visit family to sign my mother's POA form, and it will be a LONG day if I'm not more cheerful by then! 😬

Flashes of annoyance and anxiety doesn’t sound like Cheery … You okay or is something weighing on you? 

Hope a calm quite evening helps restore you somewhat and tomorrow goes well 🤞

Yes, ditto to @KajiKita.  Not wanting to pry, but from the tone on your diary,  we're all here for you @Cheery_Daff in any way possible. Love Humdinger xx

Sometimes a bit of me time is just what is needed!  Endless lists can be overweighted with a bit of downtime will help reset!

Have you been sleeping and eating well? I get grumpy and anxious when I've been bad at either. Also at certain times of the month!
