    You owe £98. That's a negative because you owe it.
    You kept £1. That's a positive because you've got it.

    So your balance sheet looks like this...
    Owe: -98
    Got: 1
    Total: -97

    Which is what you paid for the coat.


    It makes as much sense to add the 1 and the 98 as it does to add the number of red cars I see out of my window to the number of blue cars I see out of my window and ask why that doesn't equal the number of green cars I see out of my window.

    Morning all

    Have been out for the first time in days and freezing isn't the word! Mind you it means that the house feels extra snuggly now so that's a bit of a silver lining.

    The postie has been and brough me one of 4 books I'm expecting plus another from Waterstones FB "Hollow Pike" from last Thursday that I wasn't expecting. It was the one where you had to send them the name of the leading character as the subject of your email. Fingers crossed there are some other Inn winners.

    I've got tomorrow and Friday off work so will be reading and comping, though I have pampering session booked on Friday afternoon with some vouchers I got for Christmas.

    Hope everyone has a winning day!

    Have been wondering about it for a while as it said for 100 days but there are subjects for 103 at least at the moment and saying 11 days to go in the corner.


    Well done on the book Sue - nothing but rubbish from Postman here today!

    I really am! I've won 21 books so far this year - either actual wins or read and review - and 11 of those have been from Waterstones. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I always post reviews on the Waterstones site of the ones I get - even if I hate them or haven't finished them because I don't like them.

    I run the bookstall at a local charity open day every June so all the books will go there once I've read them - have a nice pile to go already!

    Postie has been and bought me five of my ten books from OffersOn ... Well at least I think thats where they are from as all from Waterstones but have the despatch notes and prices included :D still at least I will be able to value the win. So far the five books would have cost me £41.17

    However my mum just rang me and she now thinks my sister is missing. Arghhhhh stress. :(:( I am so worried now I hate her being away. Have to think positive as my sis will be fine just minus her phone so my mum is is MAJOR panic mode

    I've just been on twitter looking at the flowers site and there is a free plant book on offer to first 500 peeps on My Plant or something - last tweet when I was on. Got to go out now but maybe worth a look - it says mine will be posted. It is up to 400 and something now.
