i didnt get into game of thrones at all. I will have a look at outlander.
We are currently watching Person of interest, and have just finished season 2 of elementary. Another season of Grimm is waiting, as is perception. All fairly easy watching, but interesting. Im hearing great things about Gotham, so im going to watch that when the season ends. We tend to wait until a shows season finishes, then have a marathon of watching it all.
If you like walt in breaking bad, and shows with strong characterisation appeal, try Fringe. Its a cop/scifi drama, and honestly, Walter Bishop is the single best TV character i have ever seen. How John Noble didnt will awards is a mystery to me.Mortgage £242500 on completion

i've watched fringe a few times at work but would be best starting from scratch i think, will give it another go
Gotham is not too bad, seen better, seen worse, i watch it occasionally but it's not on my must see list
i started watching person of interest and really enjoyed it to start with but found it got very samey quite fast so stopped watching, again it's one of those if were all caught up to date i will watch it if not i'm not too bothered,
did really enjoy Dexter series 1-4 but it got rubbish after that
sometimes i prefer to watch a good series as opposed to a film as there are so many rubbish films out there, we dont tend to watch much tv though as we have to borrow box sets, visit with friends who have live tv net flex etc or buy box sets etc as we dont watch live tv ( saves us a fortune)0 -
As a couple, we dont watch live tv at all. We have shows that we watch together, and then DH watches shows of her own. (top model, xfactor, hollyoaks and such) hence we dropped our sky sub to the lowest level. I spent the money saved on a small pc for the TV and use that the access the shows we watch.Mortgage £242500 on completion

Morning all.
Fairly productive day yesterday.
Couple of SB surveys.
Found 65p in change around the house, into the slummy jar.
Late on did an excellent offer via tr1alp4y On Clixs3nse. £30 profit for little effort.
Today. Paint a wall in living room following plaster work. Order parts to replumb other toilet. Attempt to find willpower to do some surveys. Make braised steak in SC.
Any tips for pork belly would be appreciated. Bought some the other day.Mortgage £242500 on completion

Evening all. Not a very interesting weekend. 2 x 12 hour day shifts. Boo.
Got a survey done Saturday evening, and have spent some time reading up on investments. Lots to take in. Choices to be made, but after Christmas now. Just research at the moment.
Hope you all well,
Steve.Mortgage £242500 on completion

Afternoon MFWs,
Quiet day yesterday and today, as im on nights. Still chipping away though. Few SB surveys done, which while not worth much, all add up.
Decided to keep the money i made from W1ll H1ll Vegas in my paypal account, as im going to resume match betting soon. Will be aiming to start with about £200, so im about 25% of the way their. Im hoping to make most of that £200 from the Cl1xsense instant pay offers. I think £100 to £150 that a risk free, or very low risk, so should be fine.
In other money saving news, i replace all of my power hungry lightbulbs, and nasty old low energy "flurescent" style bulbs with nice new LED bulbs. Really pleased with them, as the light they give out is a nice warm white. Some can be a horrible blue/white. Not the cheapest on the market, but they came with good recommendations.
Last night tonight, then 6 off. Yay.Mortgage £242500 on completion

First day after nightshift. Always horrible.
Not too much achieved, but not bad concidering effort put in.
Survey on SB completed.
Did an offer Via Tr1alpay on Cl1xense, for L4dbrokes bingo. Deposit £10, get £20 bonus, plus 3500cents in CS. Played my £10, and won £26.11, so that was cool. Annoyingly, the CS didnt track so im having to raise a ticket with trial pay for the 3500cents (£20ish). Fingers crossed on that one.
Lazt evening with mrs black tonight, person of interest incoming.Mortgage £242500 on completion

We are looking at replacing our kitchen spotlights with LED one's - i need them to be pretty bright though, also they seem very expensive :eek:2014 - £264k - 25 Years - MF March 2039 :eek:

They are quite a lot of money up front, but the payback is fairly short on them, and they should have a good life span. We have spots in our kitchen, and im well pleased with them. They feel far brighter because the light is whiter, as opposed to the yellowish light our old lights gave out.Mortgage £242500 on completion

Good start to the day.
People from car dealership arrived to take car for service/mot, only a day late. On the upside, them getting their diary wrong got me a nice discount on the tyre i need.
Logged in to email, to find clixsen5e had credited my $35 from an offer i did with Ladbr0kes. It didnt track originally, so i had a bit of hassle sending screenshots and copies of receipts. All sorted now though. The £10 deposit netted me a £26.11 win on bingo, and the $35/£20ish clixsen5e. Not too shabby for 10 minutes "work".
Also completed a few surveys on CS and Sb.
And so for today.
Paint bathroom ceiling.
Few surveys.
Do another CS offer tonight.
cook something the lazy way. SC here i come.
Have a nice day all.Mortgage £242500 on completion
