    "Oh darling".......... the mind boggles - at first I wrote bobbles.

    Oo'er......... I really need that wine :D I missed the post on the French tax - they brought forward the time of the last post, and I never noticed the notice, so to speak. And I've been sitting here doing free bingo, watching Poirot, and typing out on the lappie a list of bankings for the tax year 08-09. What fun! Actually, its really fast compared to how I used to do it, but I think I need to stop now.

    The wine is calling. Yoo hoo...........

    Morning taxi, morning all! Yep, it was nice to have a glass of wine last night - I can't remember the last time I had a glass at home.

    I've just been totting up money from free bingo, and since I started (staying with the same firm) counting the cashback and the money still there and on its way, I've earned £84! Coo! That being the case, I'm going to carry on, thats massive.

    Just a couple of hours paid work today in the afternoon, so today's jobs are:
    - input mystery shop, now that the technicalities are achieved (importing audio files, all sorts of weird and wonderful things with this one).
    - carry on with the accounts - today its finishing off the banking listings. That reminds me of that WWII poem "Today we have naming of parts"....... I can't resist, these are the first two verses:

    To-day we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
    We had daily cleaning. And to-morrow morning,
    We shall have what to do after firing. But to-day,
    To-day we have naming of parts. Japonica
    Glistens like coral in all of the neighboring gardens,
    And to-day we have naming of parts.

    This is the lower sling swivel. And this
    Is the upper sling swivel, whose use you will see,
    When you are given your slings. And this is the piling swivel,
    Which in your case you have not got. The branches
    Hold in the gardens their silent, eloquent gestures,
    Which in our case we have not got.


    Butterfly mind, moi?

    Yesterday's list:

    - input mystery shop, now that the technicalities are achieved (importing audio files, all sorts of weird and wonderful things with this one). done
    - carry on with the accounts - today its finishing off the banking listings. done. Listing every s*dding transfer and piddly mystery shopping cheque - and I did it!

    I'm also up to date with my work notes, which is really important. And I played free bingo (but didn't win, thats okay) - oh, and the profit is £74, not £84 - my bank are *really* slow in deducting money, but v quick to give it to me, for some odd reason.

    And today's list:

    - phone my insurer. I have a named person on a freefone number (morethan! thank you). I went to a site called gardenlaw.co.uk and I'm going to try to get an insurance inspector/loss adjustor or whatever out here to see if I can claim for all these collapsing walls.
    - carry on with the accounts. There are two easy/distinct bits I can do - list all the interest on every teensy weensy account, or put the mystery shopping coversheets with the proof-of-expenses. Or list share income. Thats three. Okay.
    - tidy up a bit more in the 2nd bedroom.
    - go out even if just for a walk round the block.

    That'll do for now. Oh, and free bingo!

    Morning KC..well that sounds enough to me.
    I tend to do my accounts in chunks as well...tends to sweeten it a little especially having to catch up on 16 months worth..you'll feel great when they are all done.
    Good luck on getting the insurance to pay for the walls.

    I've phoned the insurers..... they're appointing a structural engineer to come round. Scary stuff - but it will be even scarier if any of the bleeping walls collapse.

    Pasta is on the go at the moment, so I'll just be fiddling about with the accounts till it cooks. And I might be brave and add another phone call to that list - to the builder who said he'd fix the electric immersion heater (which I never use) - but he disconnected and updated it, and never came back - had an appointment last week, but he flaked out. I *will* go for it.......

Or list share income. Thats three. Okay. done, have listed all the interest bits and bobs (tho haven't added them up :rotfl:)
    - tidy up a bit more in the 2nd bedroom. only done a tiny bit, more to do
    - go out even if just for a walk round the block. done
    - free bingo! I just won £10! Hurray!

    The structural inspection carries on apace - I just had a call from the people who'll get an engineer to get in touch with me. Hopefully nothing's going to fall down before they get here.

  • Well the tenner will come in handy.
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:
