Thanks everyone, you have convinced me, I will buy a new airer.


Made a little progress yesterday. DD1 very kindly cooked dinner while I was at kettlebells, so when I got home I was able to get a couple of things off the list.

Just a quick one. I have had a request to refer people to do Pinecone research surveys.

they pay £3.00 for each survey done, and are looking particularly for people with children under three. I don't really know anyone in RL who fits this, so if anyone of you are interested, you could pm me and I'll pass your email address to them

(I don't get paid for referrals btw, so it's genuine)

It had never crossed my mind to re-string a rotary airer ...... And now it has crossed my mind, I don't think I'd ever try to do it, I'm not very practical, and I'd probably end up throwing it across the garden or something.:rotfl:

Had letter from HSBC telling me the new projected repayment dates, and I have shaved 5 years off the main loan (currently £66353.80) and just shy of 8 years off the smaller loan (this is where I put all of the non-regular ops, currentl £11559.62). Yay! Seeing that in print gives me a real boost!

Have updated list to reflect new plans for rotary airer!!

Please could I have a referral. I used to do them but I stopped and then they stopped sending them.

I have a 4 year old and 2 year old and need some extra pennies xx

Well done on all your savings, shaving that amount off is amazing!

Xx

Pinecone is definitely worth it!

Great news on the time shaved off, 5/8 years is fantastic!

Hi IWAB

I have forwarded the email with the link :-)

Thank you both for your encouraging words

Not such a great couple of days, for my pocket.

Had my (free) eye test yesterday, and I now need glasses for driving, as well as reading. I decided to get some varifocals, and as Boots were doing bogof, I also got a pair of varifocal sunglasses, as I am uber sensitive to light and will need them for driving in the summer. Soo, all that cost me £239 :eek: -- but well, you have to look after your eyes haven't you? I put that on my 0% card, so I can save up the money to pay it off when 0% finishes

Felt a bit rubbish coming home, old and falling apart. But then I thought "actually, nothing has changed, just that you will be able to see better!"
and then I got over myself! hehehe

Got my £17 for my mobile phone today.

So far today:

Been to gym;
Put two wash loads on and hung outside to dry;
Been shopping;
Dropped DD1 off at coach station;
Sorted out some stuff for freecycle/charity shop bag


Right, must crack on with the list above

Have a good Easter everyone (I will, I can now have chocolate, lent is over!! yay!!)

I've worn varifocals for about nine years now.


I'm shortsighted, and I've worn glasses since I was about 7.


As soon as I hit 45, I suddenly couldn't see to read, so I got the varifocals. They take a little bit of getting used to, as your have to learn where to look for reading and where to look for long distance, but once you work it out, it's great. I couldn't be doing with swopping glasses every five minutes.


The best thing is, no one else can tell the difference, not like those old fashioned glasses with the obviously different glass at the bottom for reading. So nobody knows you are wearing old peoples glasses! :rotfl:


I also get a free eye test, as my mum had glaucoma.
