Won £10 on the lotto so just another £999,990 to go!

I went for a big walk in the rain this morning, and my new watch tells me I spent 54 minutes in "the zone", which I guess is a good thing? I'm calling it a win. Unless it's the forbidden zone, in which case I'm screwed.

Ok it's not a win yet, and maybe I'm jinxing it by even mentioning it. But I'm self-employed and I'm launching what I really really hope might be a new income stream today. Cross your fingers for me, I could really do with getting some more consistent numbers coming in to do my budgeting 😅

No need to go into very details but just wondering what is it about.

I have a (very small scale) craft pattern shop that I've not been paying enough attention to. Basically rejigging that, consolidating all my stuff in one place, and adding monthly memberships to hopefully help kickstart it a bit. Might be a total fail but you never know until you try.

Only two hours more of work, a five hour drive home and then I'm on holiday for five weeks! What am I going to do? Not a lot. It's too help look after the kids during summer holidays really. 😁

My car passed its MOT 100%. Sadly they forgot to reset the next inspection date so now I either have to live with it getting increasingly annoyed at me or take the time to go back to the garage and have it reset.

I'm sure you can lookup how to reset it yourself without a diagnostic computer. Usually it's a hidden menu accessed by a combination of buttons in the car.
