    That's Wednesday over and done with (work wise at least). All downhill to the weekend...in a good way ;)

    I've been to give my weekly donation to Mr A. Although it was very quiet and I whizzed round and was out in under 20 minutes. If only it was always like that!

    Another £3 op today from a PC survey payment. :)

    Thanks Yukkibear - very kind of you :)
  • Best things I read on holiday were 'After you'd gone' by Maggie O'Farrell and 'Adrian Mole, the prostrate years'. Very sad that there will be no more Adrian Mole books.

    Like you, we don't watch much TV, and I didn't have one for about eight years but don't think I would want to give it up now. What with catch up, you can skip ads and watch when you want, so there is less dross to wade through. All good cheap entertainment when you are trying to keep the bills down!
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Good evening

    I arrived home to a nice surprise email. I won a £3 e voucher for Am@zon :j I know it's only a small win but I'm excited all the same. Given my name, it won't come as surprise that much of my spending is on books! ;)



    SSS - I've not read that Adrian Mole one - will have to add it to my ever growing to read list - thanks! Sue Townsend certainly wrote a great set of books with those.
    I agree that it's much better with catch up tv and being able to skip the ads. I rarely watch any live tv for exactly that reason. Saves so much time too!

    MWC - thanks for stopping by and the lovely encouragement :)

    :T it's finally the weekend!

    Today was an odd one as it seemed very quiet (emails and phones and generally few people around it seemed). In fact the boss even let us leave early - I didn't need asking twice :D

    I'm now in my pj's (anyone else do this? :o) and firmly attached to the sofa catching up on some viewing and browsing the web. Bliss ;)

    I have reached cash out on both YG and OneP :j so it will now be a race to see which I get first. Naturally they will be op'd. I have also completed another PC survey so that should come in next week too

    In other news, I have also won a free book. It's a Linwood Barclay one. I've read some of his work before and usually enjoy them so looking forward to that arriving.

    Hello!

    I had a few surveys to do this evening. OneP seems to be the one where I'm making most money so far. I like YG, as it seems to be more about my opinions, and the surveys are interesting.

    I had an I-say survey about my attitudes to blenders...... To be honest, it was a bit mind boggling, I'd never given blenders much thought before. But it's a few more points in the bag.

    I read a Linwood Barclay book a few years ago, quite good as far as I remember.

    I'm currently reading a Jeffrey Archer book:o. Not exactly great literature, but it's a story that moves on at a fast pace. At least I don't need to think too much!

    My pj night on the sofa is Sunday, a sort of comfort night before the new week starts.

    Have a good evening

    Good morning!

    The world always looks better after having had a lie in :D It's a simple pleasure but one I most definitely love!

    The weather looks good so far. Hoping it holds as I have some garden jobs I should get done. I think we are forecast rain tomorrow so do need to get things done

    It will have to wait until I've had another :coffee: though ;)

    Have a good day - whatever you may be up to

    BW :)
