I learned about spraying your tinnies with PX24 (Military name for WD40) on my first deployment.
I knew I was a bit of a drinker when I stopped spraying my tinnies cos it took too long & started just drinking them warm.0 -
Sarahb - am somewhat concerned that you have never been in a Waitrose :eek: It is such a nice supermarket, all the food is very good quality and it is laid out well and the staff know what they are talking about. I would never love to shop there all the time though.....but there isn't one near where I live although it has been close to two of my previous jobs.
Thanks Carole for the referral - dont' worry though, I've been rating Moo2Moo's reviews (which are as well written as you would expect from her diary) so she gets a few points.
Lula - my Tesco is awful too, the staff are rubbish (half the time forget my green points), the store is always really scruffy and they run out of stuff all the time and - most annoyingly - they don't discount their out of date stuff that much....I've got my own flat :j:j
Now I have to pay the bills :eek:
And feed my interiors addiction0 -

Hmmmm, the ex used to spray it on the outside of the glass
To continue ...
I knew I was drinker when I was asked to join ' The Monday Club' at my old local. A secret society for those who can still drink on a monday lunchtime after a full on weekend & a morning at work. All members at the time were over 50 & male, I was under 30 & have always been female.
This is true& although I was outwardly quite shocked & decided the time had come to reign in the doubles, I was also privately quite proud of the accolade bestowed on me by a motley bunch of old reprobates :rotfl:

Thanks for the ratings Makeup and the attempts at recruitment Lula. Can report back that after a mere 38 days on DooYoo I have reached the £50 payout level already.
Although I'd assumed that at 500 points per review I'd need to write 100 to achieve this its actually only taken 73 thanks to all the saddos who have nothing better to do than rate and critique my efforts. I now know that Millennium contains two n s. My life is complete. Others disagree with my comments that J.K. Rowlings Beedle the Bard is crap. Turns out that although its a review site they don't appreciate you having opinions of your own and some get rather irate about it. I've also been e-mailed rather a lot by gay naked bloke with rugby ball and numerous others wanting to be my friend and perhaps meet me in person. One bloke even suggested than having rated his rather scary review on booty lube (I was clueless at the time) I might like to try some. Erm no, I'd rather undergo trepanation thank you.
Also discovered that the warning about random waffle and sticking entirely to the subject you are reviewing is complete bull my two crowns (Brownie points for random observations out of the norm) have been for rambling reviews about anything other than the subject at hand. The only other thing I've learnt is make sure all reviews are over 200 words as then they don't seem to lock them and steal your points for being completely useless. Tis the easiest way I've found to make money yet. Sticking to my 200 review by Christmas target which is looking like yielding £150.
ps. I knew I was an alcoholic when I added Kahula to my breakfast cereals instead of milk (true and its not that unpleasant but I wouldn't be in a rush to repeat it)Saving for a Spinning Wheel and other random splurges : £183.500 -
Makeup - I have joined and posted 1 review! Soon I will be a millionaire....possibly, thanks for the referral,
Firefox - how is Noah settling in?
Moo2Moo - cant believe you got to £50 that quickly - very impressive!
I have also joined a bingo site so i will be having a daily free scratch - I won 25p today! I feel this calls for a : :money:
And tonight I intend to weigh some of my old text books and work out if its worthwhile selling them on Amazon, postage wise.Debt free date - 4th December 2008 :j0
