    :( I wouldn't be shocked if readbud doesn't work out. Every day when I Google it plenty of results come up on the 1st page saying "readbud scam" but I've been ignoring that because the same appears for toluna and others even though they do pay eventually :undecided As I'm at over $30 I don't want to give up but I'll update if ever I get paid or not. $50 appears to be only around €36 and probably way less again in £.
    I did make it to Costa earlier, had a flat white and a lemon cupacke:) Asked about the loyalty cards and no they don't have them here.
    Ireland is choosing a Eurovision entry tonight, I wouldn't normally be interested but Jedward are the favourites to win and I do :heart2: them. Not sure how the rest of Europe would cope with them though:rotfl:

    Probably the same way they cope with Brian Cowen and Dustin the Turkey. Bring back Dana, that's what I say!

    I'd love to be a good example - instead, I am a horrible warning.

    Time for me to move back to England, methinks. As if Ireland didn't have enough trouble already. Jedward! Fek's sake!

    Looks like I'm alone in the Jedward fanclub! Louie Walsh must be so proud of them:)

    My mother's been nagging me about healthy living all weekend. She has the new Patrick Holford (a nutritionist) book "The Feel Good Factor" and is listing supplements I have to try. Probably wouldn't do me any harm!

    Hi :wave:

    New medication is definitely helping - still nowhere near running down the street but still working :D Decided this year in order to progress to cut down on my internet time as I could spend hours on here and not even realise. And sleep is so much more constructive :rotfl:

    Not heard Jedward's contribution to european harmony so can't contribute. Hmm .. as for the health thing if it works for you then do it. DD has decided that she can't eat little fluffy animals so has become veggie - have bought her some vitamins as she doesn't like nuts, some grains, and even some veggies :rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a terrific Tuesday.

    @butafli So glad the new medication is helping you. I've had really bad pain for the last few days from the pulled shoulder muscle, it got worse over the weekend and painkillers didn't help. It's improving now but makes me feel for people like you who have to deal with pain on a daily basis, it's really difficult.

    Don't worry you will get to see Jedward closer to Eurovision time, they'll have great fun with the media and will make sure everyone gets to see them whether they want to or not:rotfl:

    It's so easy to spend hours on the internet, I'm always trying to cut back too but I need to be on the internet a bit for work, then there's mystery shopping reports and surveys which are all internet based. The iphone has helped though because I can check emails, news sites and MSE while out and about. The phone isn't the most comfortable method of using the internet so I tend to just check what I need to and put it away again.

    Speaking of phones they never got back to me from last week about the free months rental :mad: but I will chase that up again tomorrow.

    I collected the coat from the deaf tailor and he did an AMAZING job, he put in elasticated belt loops, it's better than it was originally. Cost €8. I brought 2 other sewing jobs to the dressmaker too, a pair of jeans and a dress, both needing to be shortened. €8 for each of those as well. That's €24 for clothes repairs and as usual nothing much to show for the money spent.
