Karmacat: To Infinity And Beyond!

Karmacat

Taxi, you're right to mention that - I was thinking the same myself, if the subsidence costs £1300 to put right, and I pay an excess of £1000 and lose the no claims bonus for £300 or whatever, its not worth it. Thing is, the structural engineer *hasn't* called, if he doesn't on Monday I'll be tres narked.

Glad I reminded you about the flasks! That little one saves me a fortune, and time as well, actually - I drank my tea on the 2nd bus journey outwards - a 45 minute one, that made quite a difference timewise.

I managed to buy fairly wisely on the mystery shops - all 3 needed me to make purchases. So I bought some trouser hangers, some perfume, and some groceries, including some pear cider :rotfl: fancy a mystery shopping company paying me to drink cider!

I've just inputted the first, fiddly shop, and had the free bingo on in the background. They credited me with £2 for hte h*ll of it, which they do every so often......... and I won £26! Fank u very much!

Ecky thump, this is the thread to be on if anyone wants a lucky gl gl gl gl:j....unfortunately i don't ( hate bingo) but i like being here:D

Hope the quote is OK on Monday...i will have everything crossed for you:cool:

Karmacat

I like you being here too! And being on your thread. And ..... okay I'll stop.

The free bingo is odd - I think, the more you do, the more their computer recognises you. Dunno really - just glad they're sending me money!

I think the computer would faint with shock if i went on a bingo site- i did try, honest..i just couldn't force myself again after one night of insomnia, i found the owls thread instead..

Hang on a sec! :eek: Don't think I *like* the bleeping stuff! :eek::eek::eek: I can bear to have it on in the background, since I have to be on the computer right now anyway - and actually, I do sort of enjoy the countdown - 15 - 14 that kind of thing. And racing back to the computer every 2m if I'm in the kitchen (the freebie plays between the hour and half past, randomly) gives me a bit of exercise that I desperately need. But..... enjoy? I'm seriously working hard at looking for silver linings in describing the positives here. :rolleyes: :o:o

I can sort of understand land bingo the way it used to be played - marking the cards, chatting with your mates, having a drink at the bar, listening to the compere and the comedian. But this stuff....... its mind numbing, if thats what you're actually doing. I honestly don't know how it can qualify as entertainment.

Watching for the free game keeps my adrenalin too high as well, actually - I often stop after 7pm and have a normal evening. But needs must when the devil drives, and all that.......that weekly shortfall of mine isn't getting any smaller......:(

I did that too KC,had it on in the background, i just sort of kept watching! Never again.

Aww.......... I'm inputting/reading fanfic/posting on here/playing sleepy squares from that physics site that Archna pointed out in the weekly email....... I hate everything about being this poor/this much in debt, but in 5 weeks, bingo has made me £100 - to net that much from mystery shopping, for example, I'd have to do much, much more.

That's the beauty of this site there are ideas for everyone and we all take from it what we need.

I was just having another philosophical thought..as you do..my current salary is 4x more a month more than i have been used to. I don't overspend, i claim back and have a separate expense folder, yet i still feel like it is not enough. I think i am doing something wrong and Mr.B is trying to make me feel guilty for not helping him out a bit more- well i would but, i am covering more expenses than he is re the children and budget...i think i have just answered my own question/ thought there.lol

Lets raise a glass for philosophical thoughts! And wow, Bob, I didn't realise the increase in salary had been that steep - thats brilliant :j:j:j

Its a well known phenomenon, and I've seen it countless times, that we get used to a new level of income/new events/new anything very quickly - I've heard it argued as being part of our psychology that evolved way back on the African plains. You're just being a good hunter/gatherer!

And as for me........ I've finished inputting. My bum is sore from sitting here for two hours........... and I can have a glass of wine now, to relaxez for the evening, after I get changed.

**KC sighs a happy sigh**

See you tomorrow, Bob - and to paraphrase Brucie, Keep Philosophizing!
