Hypno's "there's more to life than debt" diary.....

lunar

I love my recently de-cluttered house, i can open draws and not be frightened that they will never close again. I guess that will change over the next few months but i will make the most of it while i can. I have to get rid of things when my oh isnt looking. He thinks we need everything, never notices when it isnt there any more. Glad you had a good day at your workshop.

Thinking is ALWAYS complicated :rolleyes: :rotfl:

and I am glad I am not considered too mad with regards to the cheese slicers.......:D

hi lunar! You snuck on there when I was typing!

I WILL have a decluttered house - how and when are yet to be determined, but I will get there eventually (or will die trying!)....

hi to all on this thread, hypno and others you are a real inspiration to me!

just one question, its prob been asked but i cant see it so sorry in advance of asking again!
but what is a mystery shop?? im a bit confused, ( a bit thick too lol !)

hypno06

hi louiser - a mystery shop is where you get to go into a shop/bank/restaurant etc pretending to be a genuine customer, but really you are there to assess their customer service, whether the shop is tidy, etc........and you get paid for doing so!

If you head over to the "up your income" board on this site, there is a whole thread about mystery shopping, and you can read a lot more about it, with links (I think) to all the main sites that we use.

It is a good way of getting a bit of extra income fitting in round the rest of the chaos that is "life"!

I have put loads of CDs on i-tunes but I have far more than I really expected, so I think this is going to take me all week!

Mentioned the "skip" idea to OH and he didn't dismiss it completely........although I am not sure he was as enthusiastic about it as I was being :rolleyes: :rotfl:

The way I would do it (but does cost money so might not be an option...)

Apple TV. If you're putting it all on to I-tunes, you can buy these hubs now from Apple that you can have all the house's computers wireless-ley connect to them and so therefore only need to upload the once and then all your family can use the music on Apple TV and create their own playlists from there for their i-pods... :beer:

And this is entirely the reason why I have no money and can't think why an external hard drive would not be better...:rolleyes:

hypno06

Yeah, thanks walshy.......OH is googling apple tv thingies right now :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Walshyboy84
