Karmacat: I'm passionate about my DFW journey to riches

Morning, sorry to hear about the head.. might be worth picking up a CO2 detector just in case?

Got to pop off to work now but have a good, and hopefully not stressful, day x

Karmacat

Thanks Squirrel - wondering how you are.... I saw a CO2 detector at my sister's on Sunday, it looked very simple .... I might do just that, I'm in a big market town today for one of the shops. As you're leaving for work now, I'll look for your thread in a while - give you time to get your feet under the table!

Hope you had a good day shopping.

I was starting to wonder about carbon monoxide .... thanks, Bob. I think I'm not going to put the gas fire or the boiler on in the evening - I've got an electric convector heater (and a couple of blankies!) I can use till I've checked it out. Sounds like the mortgage overpayments might be reclaimed quite soon, to get a new boiler and new central heating. Ah well, I wanted to do it anyway.

Off to check your thread....

Oh, the mystery shopping has been a bit, um, complex. First one went well, but the second, it was a long way away - I'd checked out the times of the buses, but hadn't quite checked the times *back* - and when I got back to the town I'd started at, I had my 3rd m.s. to do, and the place was closed, so I took lots of photos and got the train home. Found an email saying the client had cancelled the mystery shop, didn't want it any more. Well, that money was supposed to contribute to the whole trip, so ... I should get something. I went there in good faith and took pictures and everything.

The second town I went to was interesting - I thought it was just some village, but I really liked it - and I'd never been there before, it was really something.

I've emailed the pix, and sent a suggestion they make me some sort of payment; I've done one of the inputs, and just got the other to do now, its a basic one, whereas the one I've already done was quite difficult.

This is the universe's way of telling me to stop doing the mystery shops and start getting my act together with the trading

Good grief, that is a crazy day! I fully concur with your last statement

Hi Karmacat,
please please please check out the carbon monoxide thing, I kept getting headaches & only when the gas fire broke did I discover that it was leaking. Fortunately in those days I was a smoker & kept a window open all the time as gas man told me if I hadnt , I would have gone to sleep ... forever

Hi folks - I will, I'm going to order it today, thanks to Bob.

That was another mad day - hour and a half's work in the morning, then out for about 6 hours (1.5 hours walking in that, which actually did help me sleep better) - ate and fiddled about with the m.s. that had been withdrawn, plus inputted one of the ones I did do. Sat back with a glass of wine and watched Bones, then did the second. That was fun, doing that after the glass of wine!

Today, I have a phone shop in the morning, and I have to go to Gatwick Airport to pick up my rail tickets for Christmas, then its on to London to do some work-work. :money:

And I'm desperate for Sainsbury's basic cornflakes! I've just realised I got through the whole of October without doing a supermarket shop, paid for all food from weekly money, which is great, but for the first time in a long time, that means I'm running out of a few things before I have the next bag etc in, and cornflakes is one of those things :rotfl:

Hope it is useful. I watched bones last night as well, no vino though am getting slack on the practising lark!
Well done on shopping i bet it has made a difference.x

Karmacat

The shopping thing has, actually, tho my shoulders ache, to be honest! Still, thats loads I *haven't* spent. And I've noticed toilet paper made from recycled paper (I can never write/say "recycled toilet paper", it sounds disgusting ) in the poundshop, 4 rolls - so I'll be buying that permanently. And I still have to make use of the free asda bus once a week - I can just about do it if I time booking sessions right.

Okay, I'm allowed a second cup of coffee. Off I go. See Karmacat run. Run, Karmacat, run. Slurp, Karmacat, slurp....
