Cheery's country living adventure

Certainly is :rotfl: That's 30p I can put to good use! :rotfl:

Gosh I'm tired. Stopped working at 6.30 (I hadn't *finished* what I was doing and have had an extremely unproductive day altogether but I just couldn't face any more ). We had sausages cooked outside on our little metal grill thing that we forgot we had Most civilised

Since then I've been pottering about raking, shoving the last of yesterday's dandelion massacre into a giant waterbutt to be turned into fertiliser tea stuff :j Got the mower out and did the lawn (well, half of it the other half has got a bit long, so will need the scythe again first, oh dear! :rotfl: ) then spent the last hour walling, until Mr Cheery came out and retrieved me - by that point I was just sitting on a stone staring at the bloody thing completely unable to find any other stone that fit :rotfl:

Bloody thing.

Still, the farmer came round earlier and said I was doing a good job :rotfl: I don't believe him for a second To be honest I think he's just impressed I'm having a go :rotfl: :rotfl: There's a bloke up the road who's just stuck a pallet behind one of his fallen down walls - farmer is NOT impressed with him AT ALL :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I won't be if I carry on eating the way I have today! :eek: :rotfl:

Been in town today, got right spendy :eek: Tea and a sandwich from the treats budget with mr Cheery (£8), and then I went mad in H0me B@rgains and spent £18 :eek: some useful stuff (razors, pens, milk), some 'will come in handy but wasn't really necessary' stuff (candles, sunglasses), and some plain unnecessary (flower seeds etc). Did get quite a lot for my £18 in my defence, but even so...

Tired now Just waiting for Mr Cheery to finish band practice so we can go home. Wednesdays do drag on rather...

Hi SLM :hello: Have you moved now too? Hooray if so! :j (I have a feeling I should already know the answer did you move before me?! )

I know the feeling with there being so much to do outside :eek: I limit surveys now to the secret survey site (P1necone) that I was lucky enough to get into once - never get screened out and pay is good and surveys quite infrequent so I keep that on :j The only other one I do these days is Prolific Academic - interesting surveys and only get offered ones you're actually suitable for - actual academic research not market research (I get quite bored answering questions about which is the best shampoo...)

Did another £1 prolific survey today so when the £2 has been approved I'll be up to £19.71 - definitely get to payout this month :money:

Which is a good job, as I've just been doing YNAB/bank shuffling :eek: So much for having a 'spare' £200 for the savings pot this month - I've discovered that it was only due to my own shoddy accounting :eek: Too complicated to explain what I'd done, but suffice to say £180 of it was imaginary :eek: :eek:

Hey ho. I am grateful I wasn't relying on it to feed my family

Idiot.

Oh well. Had a nice day today anyway A video chat with a friend this morning, and it's been absolutely p*ssing down and really quite foggy, so I've stayed inside and had a good clean, which I'd not done for weeks (or probably since moving in, in fact :rotfl: ) Obviously there are still boxes all over the place (although they're slowly being unpacked :j ) and things won't be in the right place until the stupid builder has been to sort out the upstairs rooms, but it feels like a *home* again now, rather than some kind of storage facility/shed :rotfl: :rotfl:
