Woo-Hoo! Last week Mrs M had an email from NS&I saying she'd won a premium bond prize! We've had quite a few £25 wins before now, so didn't get too excited about it. But I've just checked our balance on the app ..... and it's a £500 bonus!
Question now is do I let her know? (Second question, obviously is how do we go about spending it at the moment? )

Another dull wet day here today so just moving on with the decorating trying to get it finished over the next week or so. Just had a delivery from Iceland as before excellent service managed to book a slot last night and it arrived today at the stated time we found them very good during the first lockdown recommended to anyone looking for a quick delivery

Had to hang around this morning as I had to take MiL to town for a Chiropodists appointment, then hang around in town whilst she was in there. Had a few little jobs to do, pharmacy, paying in a cheque at the bank etc. Most of the snow now melted.
Your luck has changed Moulesy. You may want to use the money on plastic surgery if you don't tell Mrs.M.

Better day than forecast, how often does that happen. Rain all day was the forecast, we got blue skies and sunshine not to different
More decorating like Francis for us, we should however finish it tomorrow. Then it will be putting the curtain rail back up and the blinds, furniture back in place then I think I'll give the carpet a shampoo.
Nice decent walk this afternoon, ground has started to thaw so muddy in places. Not so many folk out today even though it was a nice day and milder.
We've only had NS&I for the last year but we've had 2 lots of £25 each so quite happy with that as TDA says better than the banks are doing and there is always a chance for a bigger win.
Well done to Mrs M

Nice to win something, OH had £50 this month. My BIL had some for years and never won anything so I can't say wins happen to everyone but ours have been ok.
Like Francis decorating still going on here, in between back pain tablets for OH! I ordered a new blind for the kitchen today and the new ceiling lights have gone in. Sorted out food order with neighbour, Waitrose must think we're big spenders and mad keen on cucumbers!!

Pleased you're off for the jab ABM, won't it be good when we hear lots more are heading off for the same.
What a horrible wet rainy day here. More painting for OH and we're trying to re-arrange the kitchen a bit as we go. The MOT is due on the M/H soon and he's spotted a headlight problem so that needs fixing. I'm wondering how long we'll be at home now.
Had a long chat with my sister who is piecing together family photos for photobox albums for my nephews so I sent of scanned photos to her last night. These albums are lovely but really exhausting to put together!
