New Journey

Pauline totally agree about a real book , I flit from audio books free from the library or real books . I enjoy reading in the bath so always have a proper book . It is a habit from when the children were young it was the only place I got any peace . .

I do like my kindle (my portable library ) but you really cannot beat a proper REAL book...
I'm currently reading from a good one... not right now as I'm supposedly working... erm yeah
OK... I'll erm just get on with that then
Hope you're feeling better and the DGC's are being good to you

Books are wonderful, aren't they?

Is there anything nicer than a good book? And a cup of tea of course.

There are many good things about the internet but it can't replace books. I don't buy them now but it took a number of years to wean myself off purchasing.

Have you heard of Bibliophile Books? http://www.bibliophilebooks.com
It is a great site for weird and wonderful books and the descriptions are pretty unusual too. I used to buy hundreds of them when I lived overseas. It's full of books you didn't know you needed!

This isn't getting me to the library

Pauline thank you for the link , I have had a quick peek !

Day over with DGS survived for another week, to be fair they were brilliant. I have grazed on bits all day and stomach seems ok at the moment, let's hope that's it.

Off for a read in the bath.

I always read in the bath too. Are you going to be much longer? 3 chapters to go...
When the new bath got installed he filled the cavity with insulation so the water stays warm. I remain grateful for this.

Must have a look at Pauline’s book link!

Glad you’re on the mend Cumbria - enjoy your relaxing read in the bath!

I love real books too and I always try to read in bed for an hour to help me sleep. I get mine from charity shops for 50p to £1 per book .

There is nothing nicer than a book and a cup if tea, except maybe a glass of red wine and a book .

Payday yesterday and I am going to be sailing close to the wind this month. I was hoping to make no overpayments but one cc direct debit payment has already come out. The other I manually overpay so that will save me £25 and then the £70 I put away for Christmas, Birthdays etc I have for Nov and Dec , so that's £95 extra.
That isn't going to be enough I know it isn't . I am going to sit later with my calendar and work it all out ,

Off to start housework.

You are doing well. Just taken a look at your opening debt and you have paid off roughly 1/3rd in less than one year of your credit card debts. Shows what you can do when you account for each pound.

Do you not have a birthdays saving account or pot?
