Scuba's Saving the Ha'Pennies

One of them must be to have put out an entire bin bag of wine bottles!

No idea what the original reason is I've just never liked them - ones with 'proper soles' I find my feet slip out of, ones with nonslip dimple soles I find slippery these days though and neither of them are as warm as my fuzzy socks.

Yeah that was when mine was run down too, just not really thought about restocking yet so its in progress.

I probably did. Been tired for the last few days but not quite as bad as that night.
Worked this afternoon and now getting ready to head out for a colleagues birthday party - hes one of the few from the other building who come over to help me out when I need extra staff every now and then so I thought I should at least show my face as I was invited.

Probably just a light lunch...

How do you manage to slip out of those?

I bought a mate a pair of these:



and he nearly set his neck walking down the stairs...

Well enjoy!

And don't drink too much... :beer:

No alcohol was consumed at the party - mainly because I was driving.

I am drinking now though, nice glass of wine whilst I try to find something worth watching on TV and fail.

It's easy to find something: Lower your standards. Once you hit coal, you may stand a chance...

Like men really...

Funnily enough I find that wine is the easiest way to lower my standards for both quality of TV viewing and men. But last night I simply didn't want to drink fast enough to reach the appropriate level of lacking in caring.

My planned week is suddenly in disarray, I'm currently looking for some self employed work to keep myself out of trouble and give me a reason to leave the flat. It's not going well at such short notice!

On the other hand while I was only planning to work three days this week being told to take two of them off is nice - albeit means alot of the things I planned to do won't get done as it was the heavy lifting type cleaning tasks that my ladies aren't allowed/able to do yet while they're recovering from their various injuries. Just hope we'll not have anyone complaining about cleanliness when I am back next week.

Have so far today completed three surveys, screened out of goodness knows how many, chucked a review up on ciao (not a paying category but hopefully will get people reading and rating my others which are paying), and am about half way through a book which if I can get it finished today means I'll have a box full of books to try to send off to one of the book buying companies.

Applied for a few mystery shops which I could get done tomorrow if they're allocated to me. Also a couple of testing panels that I recieved emails about this morning.

Am currently trying to update my bzzagent and The Orchard profiles as I stopped keeping up with them when I was in the old house as getting to a Tesco was more hassle than the freebies/discounts were usually worth to me.

Been allocated one of the mystery shops, was hoping for at least two but one will cover the train fare but not really help the finances (equally it won't hinder them). Possibly be able to pick up something else tomorrow before I head out. While I'm in town I'm thinking I'll go rejoin the library as it means I'll get access to the library computers again which means I'll be able to get most of the job written up while I'm out (not sure I'll be able to upload the image files), and again can have a quick look for any other jobs worth doing.

Had a tidy of the boxes still in my storage cupboard earlier found the diffuser oil refill but remember throwing away the glass jar and reeds so will have a look in the charity shops to see if I can find any small pretty looking jar/bottle to use and am sure there'll be reeds somewhere I can get either while I'm out or online.

In the meantime I went out for a run, did the 4.5 mile route, a few seconds quicker than last time (felt slower though), about a mile from home had a text from a friend asking if I could go to their house to feed and cuddle the dog so got home, grabbed their house key and drove over to spend an hour having cuddles, and the sweat licked off my exposed skin by a Choccy Lab.

You'll just have to refer them to whoever is in charge during your absence.

And it'll be a look out.

Do you not have a computer at home?

"Human...tasty..."

I do but I have a tendancy to get home and think I'll do it later then go to bed and have to do it in a rush first thing in the morning. Hence I used to like going to use the library while I was out to write things up so it was done before I go home - and yes I could take my netbook out with me and do the write up using free wifi somewhere but that would mean buying coffee/food and is not very MSE whereas using the library kept my card active which has to be a good thing in terms of helping to keep libraries in general open. :A
