You'd be horrified if you *did* do it though - the minimum number of premium bonds you can now buy is £100!

I hadn't realised that - I thought you could still buy one at a time, like it was when I got mine. But that was in 1967, so things have obviously changed!
:rotfl:


Very exciting about the book, must be very satisfying.


I noticed that you've ordered your voucher, so at least you can wave goodbye to Swagbux. I'm now within pence of a £6 payout on a survey site, which has taken me since July to achieve. Can't wait to wave goodbye to them!


PS, I think Mr Ed is a mathematical genius

I think the chappy on the blog may have excluded his mortgage debt because he's only one of two parties paying it, but I'm not sure, I honestly can't say that I've read enough of his blog to be sure. All I know is that mortgage debt is the one thing that pulls us into negative net worth, so I would always include it. It's a depressing thought that so many of our six figure mortgages probably mean that we're technically worthless :rotfl:

So surely count 1/2 the equity and 1/2 the debt then? Am refusing to follow the links to those new blogs, I already spend too much time [STRIKE]faffing about on the internet [/STRIKE]researching investment options etc. as it is .

:hello::hello::hello: Please don't be in awe of me doing matched betting! Be in awe of ed, by all means, but my track record is abysmal, though I've rarely made a mistake like I did yesterday

I haven't managed to look at the book, there was too much cleaning to do before the clients arrived Everything else has been done :j:j:j though I haven't yet packed away the delivery, its arrived already, I'm pleased. Goldie, well spotted on swagbux yes, I'm absolutely stopping it - compared to matched betting, or hopefully to writing, its very wasteful of my time (I don't try for surveys any more on there) and of my fingers!

Tomorrow is my Reiki course :j and I'm still well! Need a cuppa tea before I do anything else tho, I've had a timetable to adhere to today, and its quite a shock to my system :rotfl:

Alchemilla

Pretty sure my Dad grew a fig tree that way.

Karmacat

Thats good to hear, Alchemilla - they grow wild round here (near a parent, of course!) so it *should* be simple - put it in a biggish terracotta pot, sink it in the ground, let it do its thing.

Nothing humongous achieved tonight, just pootling about

Karmacat

Phew! Well, I managed to get to the Reiki course, though I didn't manage to stay for the whole of it - I lasted almost 6 hours, missed the last hour I was completely exhausted. Still shattered today, I'm considering going back to bed, though I think a quick walk would help more

I really liked the whole concept of a slight systematising of what to check and how to check - apparently, though, its become a lot more transparent in the last ten years, after the adjustments for anti-Japanese feelings in America after WWII have been taken away (and that was huge - George Takei, who played Sulu in the original Star Trek, was born in California, but he was put in an internment camp as a small child, thats how bad it was).

I'll definitely be using it for self healing, thats the bit I wanted most.

Anyway, lots of quiet time today, and yes, I think a walk, as soon as I've caught up on the threads on here

I think I experienced the panic of last minute MB timing yesterday KC :eek:

Got caught with my pants slightly down placing a £50 bet on the horsies to qualify for my weekly Skaye freebie. The website froze and I ended up laying twice. In the end, it turned into an arb and I made a free fiver, but not pleasant trying to fix things with minutes to go...

How goes your book? Remember we're all happy to review

Karmacat

Ooh, the panic isn't nice, is it! Glad you found your way out of it ...

The book hasn't been touched - the train to get home was delayed, thanks to follow on delays from Farringdon in central London, so by the time I got home, I needed to just sit in the warm and drink tea. Didn't even cook, just heated up some beans, sliced some cheese into it, had some carbs later.

Today, I need to eat some proper food, I'm making sure I'm fully hydrated, get some fresh air, feed my addiction to mse , get ready for my first birthday meal tomorrow (the first meal for my birthday, not my first birthday iykwim :D:D ) and then its the book. I like my book. I need a few piccies, and to list a few apps. I'll make sure I post on here about when its online for free, its only fair after seeing me rabbit about it for so long

edinburgher

KC, there's a guaranteed free £5+ with a Skaye offer for tomorrow's football if you get this reasonably soon. It will tie £200 or so up for a day or two, but it's a bookie-approved arb and entirely legit :beer:

Karmacat

Thanks for that, ed I'm afraid I was offline by the time you posted, and I've only just come back on ... slight catastrophes were occurring yesterday woke up with my vertigo back, sick feeling, blah blah, but carried on getting ready for my birthday meal. Wore posh boots, was careful on the frosty bits, but forgot to be careful on a non-frosty, rough little piece of tarmac. Slipped and ripped open my knee, completely, then missed the once-hourly bus, and gave it up as a bad job

Once I'd cleaned it up, I just sat here, healing. Not a great finish to the end of week 91. All previous plans are scrubbed apart from the basics (Christmas cards, Christmas presents, English and French accounts, professional re-accreditation). Top of the list is healing, including finding out what the dickens is sapping my energy and sorting it out.
