Woo hoo! - Long time coming that 50 quid! - congratulations on getting there!

I'm doing well using the evening commute for various surveys - can slowly see all the payouts becoming nearer & nearer...

Oh thats a good idea! For people who have commutes, it seems essential to *use* that time somehow, such a waste otherwise. In one of my last salaried jobs, I was trucking about all over the country, 5 hour train journeys were common - I did a lot of knitting that year

yougov is only at 1475 points though - they keep sending me those ones where the only payout is a contest entry - so takes longer for that balance to budge!

...on the subject of t'internet friends...in some ways on here is often more 'real' than so called RL!!!

I don't do the prize ones - you're right, such a waste!

T'internet friends - yep, they can be, they can be, at that :j We grow together slowly, just like so-called RL, we find common interests, we reach out and something clicks. It's lovely :kisses3:

This morning isn't particularly lovely actually as I've had only broken sleep since 1.45am - not the neighbours this time, just me Hey ho.

I have two small phone appointments, plus a couple of other phone calls to make, one session appointment, and a supermarket delivery.

I need to do physical stuff as well - I need to be tired enough *physically* so that I sleep tonight, resting because you feel exhausted by not sleeping doesn't really cut it, unfortunately, I wish it did The only interesting thing to go do is that my local Morrisons has reopened because of their reorganisation. It closed on Sunday and is re-opening today as a "My Local" - I should go and inspect, shouldn't I!

Perhaps snap up the odd 'opening day' special or red/yellow sticker deal?

I thought there might be, RT - but I *did* go and inspect, and they've got 4 breadbaskets across the steps, telling us they're ever so sorry, but they'll be open tomorrow! Even the Securicor guy, who called while I was having a butcher's, had to wait a while to be let in. It did make me wonder, if there'd been a robbery while they made him wait at the door, who would've borne the loss or rather, whose insurers would have borne the loss :rotfl:

Okay, physical stuff done: 10 minutes cutting some grass (with shears! Thats quite energetic :j) and *two* walks to the My Local Plus I swept the stairs

The new shop sounds a bit drunken party/brewery.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I wish! I quite like the sound of that and it used to be a pub!

Gosh, the last post on here was only 36 hours ago, but it was on page 2 of my User CP subscriptions! Must do better ...

Anyway, Morrisons/My Local report - if I worked at my local one, I'd be worried for my job, because of the lack of commitment from head office. Even on Tuesday/yesterday, the shelves were half empty, it was astonishing.

I was a bit disorganised yesterday, didn't really do too much except more pruning on the front border, though I had the day clear. As a result, today is jam-packed, and I have 3 hours paid work to do as well :eek: Must do better.

Though today has been about researching whether 141 really works (and it does) as a journo wants a chat, and I'm prepared to, but on my terms twill be interesting. I have the same level of trust in the media as our lovely Jack Monroe: http://agirlcalledjack.com/2015/10/26/dear-daily-mail-20-mistakes/



Right, better get on with making 2nd breakfast, hobbit-style, so I can cope with working at midday







ETA - I may have bought a two disc version of Quantum of Solace for £2.11

I've started on the yougov trail again 150 points for a survey! Woo! Can't remember the last time I had that.

My Local has a few more items on the shelves, and some offers out too - none that attract me, sadly

Managed to send some cards off today ... tiny little Norfolk rellie (an adult who's *smaller* than Nadiya Hussain!) is having an op next week

Nature Notes: blackbirds really do sit on wheelbarrow handles :j

150 points for you gov :j
