Yes, true point re pensions and it sounds like you're making a good call that fits with your values/lifestyle that you want to aim for. Great selection of hits - nothing like a good sing!! Ha ha, yep everyone talking about Traitors here too (I am the odd one out not really watching popular stuff!!).

Say whaaaat! It's such a great show. BBC. Would recommend starting with season 1, but the UK seasons are all brilliant and all very different from one another. 😄South_coast said:(*whispers*)

We finished cutting down the brambles today, and it turns out we can fit an even bigger polytunnel in that space than I though! 10x20ft rather than 8x20ft. Very exciting, gives us more flexibility and the option to have three rows of beds in there as well. It'll cost more too, but not all that much in the grand scheme of things (given that they are already ludicrously expensive anyway
Good day on Prolific too today, after taking 2 weeks off. My matched betting has gotten very slow and I accidentally did an offer twice as well, clearly not really with it at the moment, but that's ok.2 -
In a very strange twist, I may have started writing a book. Not quite sure what's come over me, but I've been walking around with an idea for a little while (telling people 'I don't know why no one writes a book where xyz happens), and today I thought I might as well give it a go. It's never been a dream of mine to write a book so we'll see what actually comes out of this, but there's no harm in trying right?5
