Prosperous soul in the making

I don't know how you cope on 15 degrees!  Ours is generally set to come on if it's under 18 degrees during the day.  I do sit there with a hot water bottle rather than putting the heating on though.  I got some nice warm slippers for Christmas which make a huge difference.

Congrats on the book reviews though

Thanks Jwil... I'm going to be setting my book to free from roughly 8am uk 12-14/2. I think that means it should finish at 8am on the 15/2 but not totally sure. May see if I can do it as a sponsored product at the same time to maximise take up. I read one guy who said he could tell his income in 3 months time by how many books he gave away free now... Hoping it works out!!

Fingers crossed it works out!

Thanks jwil. I sold some more books to people at work which is encouraging.

In other news £co paid me £1.80 and DH £30 this month. It all helps. I am using to reduce £ drawn from EF

Worked a short day today. Took DS so he could put £ in the bank, pick up meds and go to butchers. One way of getting him to spend some of his £ on meat. It will take up to 6 weeks to cash an Oz check from the government. Unbelievable!! When it clears he should get around £300. They charged him tax on his national insurance type refund - so now he needs to try and get that tax back as well as his original accrued tax payments... I fuelled up while I was out so that was £50 gone. 

I've just had a product recall from Am**** on 3 extension cables I bought - serious risk of fire!! Scary stuff. So need to trace them all - I used one and DH used one but not sure where third one is. Should then get close to £60 back. It didn't charge well / quickly so only got one thing plugged in on mine... (still). Need to find alternatives to replace it with! Am**** sent me something in the wrong size yesterday and I had to return it (their error).

Just put heating on. Definitely frozen now - even with hoodie and blanket on - so time LOL!!!

In this day and age it shouldn't take 6 weeks.

At least the recall has happened before anything else has, hope you find the others soon and the refund is dealt with quickly.

Scary about the extension leads.  I hope you find them and get a refund soon.

A positive step and feel good factor, SH. Always underrated, but the impact is huge.

The only thing I miss about lockdown is my HAIRDRESSER!!!   I can colour my own, always supposing I can find the colour (not easy), but cut it?  Can deal with the back & sides somehow, but the top!!!  At least I don't have to appear in public very much.
