Happy Thursday! I'm glad it's the end of the week. It's been a very busy week. I've been into the office today as well as Monday. I had to go in to collect my new laptop (hurrah!) and decided to stay in rather than come home to try and stop myself eating all day! I've had a hungry week. I need to make a batch of soup or something to try and fill me up now that it's getting colder again from tomorrow. I haven't been sleeping well so that won't have helped either.
I haven't done much in the way of surveys this week so want to get back to that again. It's nice seeing the car balance moving.
Not much planned for the weekend. Little miss's club starts so she'll be off to that.

Went to Mr L this morning and they had loads of the F&V boxes, so I got two. They were amazing again, I have loads of F&V for the week now. Some of it's in perfect condition so I don't understand why it's in there! I have another aubergine though 🤦♀️😆. I'll need to do some prepping and cooking this weekend.
I've muttered to DH about looking for a new fridge freezer. Our fridge just isn't big enough and we don't have enough room. I need to measure ours up, and I'm sure it says inside somewhere what the capacity is. We can't go any wider but we can go taller. Ours is over 20 years old, so I'm hoping we can get more capacity for the same space now! The freezer drawers are all broken too, so hopefully a new one would be more efficient. We're not in a hurry, so I want to research what we want and then keep an eye out for any offers.
I've done a few surveys this morning and not a lot else. I crawled around the floor a bit as I read it was a good form of exercise, and good for the abs too. I was aching afterwards, so it must be true! It has also highlighted that I need to hoover 😂 The dog hair is much more visible down there!

Make sure to get some tasty cashback when you get ff 😁 Cracked drawers are such a nuisance aren't they, just annoying enough to make your day a fraction worse but not a big enough thing to do anything about in the face of all the other things!
