    Yeah, I think its sorted .... you never know. Because I've referred to it in stress, actually, I may need to ask for this thread to be deleted one day :( its just the way it goes. Ah well, thats what my professional insurance is there for.

    Today, mse wise (apart from chocolate) - I was up really early, and I think I applied for a free energy monitor in time to get one .... that'll be interesting.

    Still no work done, apart from the breakdown of two mystery shopping payments - and I see that Retail Eyes deleted a payment - can't challenge it now, this was for work done in March 2010 - just shows, you need to understand the website and actually *look* at it - its plain to see, as long as you see it, so to speak. If I never do mystery shopping again, it'll be too soon!

    Could always edit your original post KC rather than asking for the whole thread to go? Or have you referred to it specifically before? xxxx

    Grrr to the problems with the campaign against you, why do people do things like that :mad:

    I find chocolate is always a short term fix, wine works much better as the hangover reminds you the next day :rotfl:

    Sending hugs and hope today is better but if I were to join the circus I would love to be up on the trapeze - shame I am scared of heights :o

    I haven't referred to it before, Cheery, its the thing that happened yesterday, but of course friendly people on here mention it too, thats why deleting my own post isn't good enough.

    I'd temporarily forgotten the level of support and affection on here :o:o:o thank you all so much :kisses3::kisses3::kisses3: I don't think it will really happen, but it knocked me for a loop for a bit, thats all.

    I can't drink enough to get a hangover these days, Maty :rotfl: I just can't take it - I literally can't remember the last time I had even one drink on a workday :o

    I'll drink to that tho :D thanks Pippi!

    Right. I'm going to shut *everything* down except the stuff I need to work on the accounts for mystery shoppiing. Columns are:
    date of payment
    amount of payment
    mystery shopping company
    gross payment
    expenses included
    net payment
    extra expenses.

    As Ace Rimmer said, smoke me a kipper (made of Quorn, in my case :D) and I'll be home for breakfast.

  • Good luck with the mystery shop accounts the little amounts are so fiddly that's another reason why I decided to pack it in the extra accounting was the final straw:o

    Hugs for the bad day yesterday and you needed that chocolate :D

    You know what, DT, when you're right, you're right! In this case, about the extra accounting needed for mystery shopping :D

    The paid work for today has been done - and guess what, the sun is shining :j even tho its in a soggy sort of way :rotfl: after tea and chocolate (i.e. right now) I'll be out for a walk ;)

    With backup, I know this might sound paranoid, but I'm also going to get a little flash drive, maybe 4GB, and back up all my genealogy information to that - even backing up to an external hard drive, which is what I do, won't save it if there's a fire.

    Why don't you keep a backup in someone elses house? http://www.truecrypt.org/

    Not only did I have a second cup of coffee, I had chips and a bar of chocolate for "lunch", then a couple of glasses of wine, then another bar of chocolate, and I finished off breakfast this morning with another, smaller bar ...

    All part of a nutritious breakfast...

    Absolutely! Just out of interest, did he say why not? I know you're away on biz now, so I don't think I'll actually get an answer to that question, but I'm still interestd :rotfl:


    Anyway, I have my beloved cup of coffee in my beloved kitten mug, so I'm off round the diaries ....
    Silly really, he asked me why I was moving and I told him where I wanted to go. He asked me if I liked gardening and when I said that I'd never done it, he said that I would be better staying where I was as I had a park at the top of the road for DS to kick a football round, and the rooms in those houses were smaller than mine.

    If it isn't, I'm running away and joining the circus, before I eat any more chocolate! Thanks for the hug :) :kisses3:

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. You haven't actually mentioned the organisation so it shouldn't be an issue; chocolate is the way to go.
