Next steps; grip-relaxing bimbling, and avoiding the temptations

This week is mostly about preparation for Friday (lunch for 35 in the Village Hall) and Saturday (my second and last Christmas Fayre as a seller) - I will be making honey fudge this morning, after my bread has proved and cleared the counter-top, before going to Sainsbugs for my click and collect (for the lunch). I used the £18 off £60 voucher for online or C&C, and ordered the meat and cheese for the December (and maybe the January) lunches.

I plan to label the rest of my honey and try to get over to my friend's as she has some leftover fudge and candles from the Fayre she did on Saturday. Oh, and I might make a couple of little beeswax decorative candles. On the other hand, I might suggest that friend swaps candles and soaps for me to add variety to my table, while she has some of my candle rolling kits and fudge for hers. I've got some little cups and saucers for her too, so she can make up a few as candles to add variety and decoration to her display.

In MSE news, Mr Sl's occupational pension has popped in to the running costs account, three days ahead of a large credit card bill clearing in three days time, removing more than half of it! Phew! He will also receive his state pension this week, so that helps enormously.

Not sure what happened but when I logged in to NS&I my £25 win from last month was now £175. A further £100 and a £50 win had been added. Maybe 2nd is too early to check. I also spotted a disparity between Mr Sl's account and my spreadsheet, where the selection range on my spreadsheet had moved the whole selection down, (taking the top row out) instead of adding one more row, so our total winnings appeared lower than it should. Our percentage winnings (assuming nothing else pops in after today) are 5.8% for my holding, and 3.18% for his in 2025. A bit like % increases everywhere, the disparity grows each time. I have more; I win more. Right, time to have a mooch about on here, I think!

Sounds fab @Suffolk_lass! Good luck with the exams.  Tell me, do bees too angry to sell have their own module or is the subject dispersed? Love Humdinger xx

I've just taken the bee behaviour exam which covers that group - Let's see if I've passed it!
