Excellent work out in the garden there, and a good analysis of what you have to do in December - well done! :j
Team Profit is free, no paymentOddsmonkey has a monthly subscription (£17.99 I think) but you can just used Team Profit at the beginning - they make suggestions of things to bet on (Oddsmonkey has a matcher so you can see exactly what the best thing to bet on is at any given time - much quicker and less faff). I think there's usually a free trial of Oddsmonkey too.
And I agree it will get MUCH faster!0 -
Thanks for that, Cheery - I've obviously got confused between the two websites. In which case, I'll definitely have a read through of Team Profit this evening
Been a bit slow to get started today, but thats understandable after all the to-ing and fro-ing yesterday. But I have:
- bought my new tv licence. Haven't retuned the tv yet, mind you.
- done a 2nd load of washing - just about to bring it in, I think its time.
- had a chat with sister.
- using up some leftovers to streamline things.
- diarised a few essentials.
So, the rest of today (not much work, really):
- bring washing in.
- retune tv
- wrap outside tap.
- I really need for anything else I do to be physical, been sitting here all day, so I'll prepare some of my green waste for my neighbour's green bin.
- read through Team Profit!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Hmmm, I did even less than I planned yesterday.
- I *did* start to get green rubbish out to the green bin.
- retuned the tv, it went well. The DVD player, though, is catastrophic in its tuning - I can't even get freeview channels. I think there's some loose connections - will have to research further.
- my washing avoided the rain! Yay!
Nothing elseToday:
- healthy walk, I'm leaving in a few minutes.
- just sent some money to my current account, doing the monthly rewards thing. Then:
- supermarket delivery this afternoon, cleaning and putting away
- get as much as possible in the green bin.
- get luggage tidied and put away, don't know when I'm going away next, so its worth it.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Today:
- supermarket delivery this afternoon, cleaning and putting away
- get as much as possible in the green bin.
- get luggage tidied and put away.
Delivery arrived, frozen and chilled are put away. After that, I did the green bin work - which took a lot in this coooold weather. I could have fitted more in, but it was too cold to stay out, my teeth are twanging from it. Taking a break now, and I'll do some tidying later on. All good.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Argh, I've done nothing at all this morning except sit at the computer, eating a tube of Pringles
definitely not buying Pringles again, I can see that though I've weaned myself off sweet food, the addictive thing has transferred to savoury snacks. Meals are fine, but snacks ... nope. Never mind, frozen cauli and frozen carrots are defrosting for lunch, will add tasty sauce bits and some protein.
To do?
- finish getting the shopping put away.
- I didn't touch the luggage yesterday, as I said I would, but do it today.
- hunt in my "accounts" papers for the membership acknowledgement of U3A - login details might be there.
- phone bruv, see how he is with the virus.
- try retuning DVD player (doing).
The only thing I *want* to do is get the garden sorted. Or go to another exhibition in LondonI think I binged on the Pringles because these jobs are utterly boring

:eek:Pringles for breakfast:eek:
..but I must admit that is usually my Xmas day breakfast and lunch...
:rotfl:4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!! (24 OCT 2016)(With heartfelt thanks to those who have gone before us & their indubitable generosity.)...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)New projection - 14 YEARS 8 MONTHS LEFT OF 20 YEARS (reduced by 16 mths)Psst...I may have started a diary!0 -
Hi RT :hello:
Not *quite* as early as breakfast, thankfully, but not far off :rotfl:I'm having tremendous difficulty getting going on anything productive this week. I don't *want* to do anything productive, is the honest truth, but I still need to :rotfl:
One thing: took my kneeler out into the garden and got to work on another little area of weeds. Done! New soil onto it, and bark chippings on top of that. These little weeded spots are starting to almost join up, I'm happy about that.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Mmmm, pringles :j I can't buy those
I have a ludicrously sweet tooth and can happily live without crisps - but give me a tube of pringles and you won't be getting any back (well, if they're the sour cream and chive ones anyway
) :rotfl:
Always impressed with your gardening exploits KC :j In fact I've been thinking of you as I've slowly been laying my path this week. No way I would have got it all done in a day - it's been too cold to stay out long (although not today! :j ) and the stones are SO heavy that I can't lift many without needing a rest. But I've done two stones one day, three the next - and now I've got into a bit of a rhythm I did a couple this morning and SIX this evening! :j :j I'm getting faster now I can see the end :j
Very much understand not wanting to do anything productiveBut rest is productive too remember!
That's what I keep telling myself anyway
:rotfl:
