  • Yay, LT :T

    Tbh, I'm not v fussed about the kind of books I read. Always read different genres so I don't find it difficult finding something for it.

    I always look through the top 100 free books list and can usually find something. And look out for deals - a few weeks ago they had a different book for £1 each day or something like that - so I 'splashed out' and bought 5 :)

    I can't think of many novels I've wanted to read specifically that haven't been available on Kindle yet. I just click like crazy underneath the paperback version where it says 'tell the publisher you want to read this on Kindle' so hopefully everyone will get the hint soon and make all their books available. ;)

    had a productive day today, and thankfully a NSD. Visited my folks for a lovely sunday roast whilst OH was at work.
    Ta da list:
    two loads of washing done and hung outside (still outside as they weren't dry and it's suposed to be nice tomorrow as well)
    kitchen is shiney
    bathroom is shiney
    hoovering/ sweeping has been done
    my bunny rabbit had a couple of hours outside in his run which he enjoyed.

    used my chicken timer to the utmost to get these jobs done.

    i seem to live by lists Chev. I do like ticking things off though.
    payday is here and i've managed to put aside an extra £550 against Norbert in addition to the normal payment. It's amazing the difference no spending money on the CC can make to how much i can overpay by.
    weather has decided to ignore what the forecaster predicted and is all grey and orrible and not getting my washing dry :(
