    Just thought I'd do a dfw update :D this is *technically* supposed to be about debt :D

    - sold a book on Amazon - about Greenham Common :D Its packed, but I still need to go to the PO.
    - did a little mystery shop yesterday, can't be inputted yet, has to wait for due date.
    - tested and printed out for two m/shops tomorrow.
    - b u tl i ns have given me £1.50 in scratches, total, over the past two days, and its taken me to payout, which has been confirmed by email. I was ready to do a Vir gin withdrawal, but doubt I'll be able to now. Hey ho. Might splurge it all on games :rotfl:
    - I keep relisting cheapo stuff on ebay that hasn't sold, and I've also got some oneoff things I've listed on there - theatre programmes (one is from 1979! I saw the Martha Graham Dance Co at the Royal Opera House, with Liza Minnelli in the company).
    - I have £6 of Tesco vouchers that are about to expire, so I'm going to add £2 in vouchers that expire later on this year and buy two blueberry bushes, which were in my plans anyway :j apparently you need to keep them in pots and put pine needles on there to make the compost more acidic.

    Fay, do leylandii count as pine trees?

    it's been so long since i have seen it i have to admit ... i cant really remember much about it ... they never show it on t.v anymore .. why ?

    I think its gone into somebody's back catalogue, and they've forgotten about it, sadly. I DVD'd it from tv a while back.

    Dashing in and dashing out, but yes Taxi's diary certainly puts my stress into perspective - have posted quickly on there too.

    Will try and catch up soon but I have had a nice paper thing with numbers on it :T

    Morning all! I've been finishing off my list from yesterday, just bits and bobs. And I traded again - a minute trade, hang on, got to check the trading confirmations.....yep, I made 0.5 :D I entered a little bit late, and I should have exited about now, and if I'd done it properly, it would've been a profit of about 5. Plus there were another two system trades earlier that would've given me a profit of 19 in total - a nice trading day, if I'd been paying attention. The wonder is I can do anything at all with the way the building work next door is going - there was banging and crashing for 11 hours yesterday, what a nightmare.

    Still .... if I can just do the odd trade at the mo, I'm convinced I'll get the hang of paying attention and pressing the button - those, rather than the fear, are what's stopping me now. I've stopped for a while as a reward for button pressing :D:D:D

    Today is:
    - writing off for a FENSA cert that I lost :o
    - prepare to pot on the little lavender cuttings I took, which are sitting in little pots of water - no one's died yet :T
    - off to mystery shop this afternoon, go to the bank, food shop, blah blah, then inputting when I get back.

    I sat outside yesterday for a bit. In the clean patio chair :D:D:D
