Damp and gloomy here, much needed car washing will have to wait another week

Managed to jetwash the underside earlier and spotted a heat shield was loose. Had to crawl under the car and fit a larger washer to the nut to hold it on. Not a great job with my inflexible back, but it didn't take long. The car's in for new rear shocks next week.

Currently trying to create some space on my SIL's ancient laptop, but it's incredibly sloooooow. Also checked a friends laptop over as she managed to panic and phone a Microsoft Scam number. Found Citrix on the laptop which I've deleted and some 'Support to Go' programme as they had tried to charge her £170

I bought quite a few Premium Bonds.

Put all your NS&I log in details in a safe place. It's a real pain if you manage to get locked out, which happens to be really easy to do.

Are you sure that's not his brother Juan?

That's two people I know that have been scammed recently, fortunately neither lost money, but it's certainly been an inconvenience. Preaching to the converted here, but never click on a link within emails where it may look like it's coming from ebay/facebook etc etc. Log in directly from a browser.

I've been deserted for the day. My wife has gone on a 'craft away day' where her Monday evening sewing group all meet up for the day. She's take a boot full of stuff and two sewing machines, one being the freehand embroidery/quilting machine I bought her for Christmas. I need at least another 2 bikes to keep up with her N+1.

So it could be banananananas and ham with a hollandaise sauce then.

A new Bill Granger book would do me.

I know it is early days, but Myfitnesspal is very useful. It has forced me to look at the calories I am consuming. With my 2 slices of bread today, I could have had spreadable butter, but chose instead to just have apple and walnut chutney on my cheese sandwich. Surprisingly not much difference in calories, but a ginormouse difference in the fat content.

Can someone tell me what to do tell the programme that I have lost one or two pounds this week?

Edit: I found the "check-in", can I fly to Finland?
