    Sorry Gentle, Mystery shop :D Had one booked whilst kitchen was out of action so got tea for nowt :j Now that's very Money Saving! :money:

    Anna I had your sort of day yesterday! guess it's a bit of winding down.

  • Ooooh, I use to do mystery shopping a few years back. I mostly got boring post offices and banks, but the odd free meal or £20 of shopping if doing a supermarket was always a bonus :D
    Yes, I am in wind-down mode I think. I have had a hectic and stressful few weeks ....helping my son sort out a new college course, having a biopsy (now that wasnt fun!!), the funeral, a court case (nothing serious, and I won)...and it has all taken its toll. So now I am opting out of life for a few days ;) But thats okay. I work part time from home so pick my own hours, my son is 18 and self sufficient (as much as any man is anyway :p ) and there is nothing urgent on my 'To do' list.

    Anyway...enough of my waffle...how is everybody?

  • Still quiet here then, not sure why ?? :confused::confused::confused:

    :hello: Afternoon :D

    I have been attempting to find space for about 400 books in my bedroom as I am going to take the plunge and try and get the living room stripped because it needs plastering and as you strip the paper the plaster comes off. Not such a lovely job which is why it`s still green and lilac (previous tenants :eek: ) So, trying to stay off the computer and tidy one room to accomadate stuff from another :cool: Hope everyone is hunky dorey and enjoying the sunshine :D

    Here am I in sunny Lisbon. I am with my daughter who lives here. Wednesday we are all off to Algarve and I shall get my house Friday (God willing). It's nice to move without running away. My alcoholism meant that I was always looking over my shoulder and that the grass was always greener.... It is good to live like a human being. I nearly said a "normal" human being but, as I have never met one, I haven't a clue as to what one is. Thanks for all your good wishes. Somebody mentioned being cold. Would anybody like to remind me what that means? ;):p:D

    sounds good brodev, im finding it strange in a new house... ive just been keeping on the go... always doing something. sometimes i find change difficult.

    Some one drove into my car and didnt tell me outside the new house and also someones nicked my recycling boxes..... and i thought i was moving to a nicer area Lol. nevermind its only plastic and no one was in the car so i cant really grumble there are far worse things that could happen.

    im going to blackpool on wends.... just brought a new sat nav to get me there :) only for a few days. then off to a one year cocaince anonymous confention in luton on sat.
