    Ug. Sorry you've had that, hypno, glad you've got some free coffee from a mystery shop to tide you over. I'm up early on the first day of my holiday to zoom out to do a couple of mystery shops myself - researching public transport in rural areas to get there has been fascinating! If a bit long winded :rotfl: Hope your day goes okay now.

    Crikey, how do you get thee coffee assignments Hypno, all I seem to get is fast food. Sorry, my body is a temple and I will not sully it for profit :rotfl: (apart from free pizzas :o ) (and KFC) (but NOT Maccy D's).

    Still, I have 2 PO ones tomorrow, so £10 assorted stamps coming my way, just in time for posting ebay stuff later this week :T .

    Ugh to phone calls, that always leaves me feeling hungoverish for the rest of the day as I can never get back to sleep.

    It's not raining yet :j , have a good day all.

    First m/shop done....will submit tonight when I get home, then I can do both of them together.

    No rain here yet, but it feels very autumnal this morning - a chill in the air. Plus I feel the cold when I am tired, so I will be keeping my jacket on today I think!!

    urgh to the phone calls, really does break your sleep.
    We had someone ring every 20 mins for 7 hours a while ago, what a stupid game :confused: (we guessed who it was, and it stopped when a grown-up returned home ;) )

    Hope the coffee helps. :D

    Morning
    I soooo relate to that feeling cold when tired-make lunchtime's coffee a double shot !!
    Thanks for the birthday wishes-wasn't an especially exciting day as I was working (and skint) BUT today -my day off has started well. 8am call to tax credits-sorted out the mess they had made and they agreed I don't owe them £3k and payments go back to normal -with an extra payment tomorrow and another on wednesday and the balance next wednesday-then a call to Seeboard (or whatever they call themselves now) as my meter wasn't set right after they did a meter change last October and my debt payment wasn't been taken off. Sorted it out and said jokingly that they should write off the debt for the trouble............and they DID !!!! Just shows it never hurts to ask. £129 was a very nice write off :)
    As I'm on a roll I'll now chase the ex for last month's child support as he arrived home yesterday. Might even be solvent if I'm not careful ;)

    Hi Hypno sorry about the disturbed night but I have a theory as well...could it be the blasted machine that you use for scanning the shopping as it did strange things with my phoneline and internet?
    Great news that the MS involves coffee so very enjoyable for you.
    Duchy glad things are sorting out for you too.
