Travelling On

Did you get your paperwork done? I got booted off the Pinecone panel ages ago - didn't tell me, just stopped sending me things. Shame really!

I think you have to watch out if you miss PC surveys - I’ve had a warning once that I’d missed a few and would be removed if I didn’t keep responding!

About half of it - I'm really pleased with the inroads made, in any case it doesn't affect how I manage to get in and out of the front door, so that's a benefit

Argh!  Right, thanks for that.  It's much too valuable in terms of £ per hour to let that happen, so I'll pay more attention again.

I hopped over there and did a survey, on the offchance it was a family thing, not sure if I'll get the credit, but the family thing came right at the end it had taken me 20 minutes already.

I like Pinecone too and have a go at any they offer by email though been screened out of a couple.  I thought I had to wait for an invite to do a survey but does that mean checking the site to see if there are any surveys available as well?  I've never tried that hmm 🤔.

I've never checked like that before, teapot, and although it accepted me when I said I was over 55 living alone, it still wanted the opinion of another person at the very end.  My RL great-nephew came in handy there as I know him well.  I wouldn't log on on the off chance again, because of the mismatch and being allowed to go ahead anyway, putting me in an uncomfortable situation, but I'm **hoping** I'm on their list still, in a good way!

Things are a bit grim this afternoon in other ways.  I'm supposed to be trying on my new Mountain Warehouse sandals and sliders, but I really don't know if I can go through that.  I've brought down some popsox to encourage me

I lost PC when I missed a few surveys too when life went crazy at one point and I couldn't cope with extra things:( Such a shame they don't have a requeat to time out for x months option

I'm sorry that happened to you too, greent I've had good news this morning about it, that I've been awarded the points, so all's well for now, and I'll pay more attention in future.

I've a feeling I'm about to miss my SiL's birthday, hunted through everything I might've noted it, and I *know* I've asked before, but I'm bleeped if I can find where it is.  

Definitely need to try on the sandals, sliders and fleeces from Mountain Warehouse.  My porch is looking almost clear except for them and I'll have a shower after that.  

Also need to check through statement downloads - and there's always downloading more from the Newspaper Archive and oh yes, cleaning, grrr.

Bleurgh to cleaning! Although having said that I'm looking forward to having the house in a bit more order so I can actually clean it - doesn't seem much point cleaning a building site 🙄😂

Not sure why I lost PC - I think they sometimes just rejig their panel and I wasn't needed any more. Bit sad really!

Karmacat

So true, order comes before cleaning - thats why I've been tidying away in the office, absolutely.  As for PC - I just hope they send me something next week, as I'll be away for 5 days the week after, and that will be a whole lot of tricky.

Tried on the MW stuff - the fleece fit like gloves, not the sort of fleece that I'm used to  but they're very nice, and they don't have hoods, so I'm keeping them.  The sliders will need to be returned, even with popsox on, they don't quite get onto my feet.

Feeling pretty damn grumpy today, went out a walk first thing in the morning, which helped a bit, so at some stage today, I'll make myself dig up some weeds, which I did yesterday to great effect.  Otherwise, reading and taking it easy.
