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

Definitely Bob - this one isn't in a vanity case but it's basically an overpriced ball of wool and knitting needles. They have thrown in a few extras like a little felt heart that goes inside your monkey!

I remember knitting with my mum too. I'm ashamed to say I haven't done very much of it with my own daughters.

Sob ... I was away from dfw for the whole day - thats unusual for me - and there was a whole riff on knitting! Ah well.....

Mizmir - has somebody filled you in on qype by now? its a website, there was a whole thing about writing 50 reviews and getting £50 of amazon vouchers, plus some unspecified goodies and a shuffle ipod. The promotions have finished now, I think, but they're probably going to have more in the New Year. I blasted out the reviews in about 2 days, just got addicted - thats most of the money I'm paying for the microwave, others are from similar but less.

Today has been okay - I did a few bits on qype, had a meeting with my business partner, caught up on some important admin for work, thats about it really, not much space for dfw today, let alone knitting!

Thanks karma - will keep an eye out for that in the new year!

Feeling a bit :mad: I've been checking Waitrose and Tesco delivery slots around my mum's each day now, and its been getting closer and closer to the day I want. Waitrose went ages ago, but Tesco seemed to have slots available, so I got up at 6am today and .... gone. People must have stayed up late. I wanted a slot for December 23rd! Well, I'll stay up late tonight, and try again for early Christmas Eve. I've booked for the 22nd just in case, but I won't be there by then, and my mum is worried about having a delivery, she's never had one before. I'm trying to save us both effort in stocking up and its just :mad:

Ah well.

Today, I've got 4 pieces of work to do thats what it used to be like! Four a day. So I'll be hopping on and off here all day.

I've ordered my M&S vouchers for £30 that cost £10, via ipoints and bingo etc, so I'm happy with that. Got to do scratchies and clicks and sort my train ticket now. Hope everyone has a good day.

Coming soon - writing Christmas cards, and knitting for Christmas :rotfl:

Merry Christmas!!

(sorry, am late, so got to get dressed and rush to work, hence short reply!)

Morning :hello: That's annoying about the deliveries, I guess a lot of people are going for that rather than fighting their way round the shops.

Have a good day!

How frustrating about the deliveries. Good luck with the work - four things is great!

Karmacat

:wave: Hello! Yep, I think the deliveries must be popular. My mum used to like going out and shopping, especially with one of us with her, but she gets so tired now, I don't think she wants to spend her energy like that. And unless its once in a blue moon, I'm not keen either, never have been.

So we'll see. I don't have any sessions tomorrow, so as long as I have time available to trade, I'm very flexible. And I *must* sort out this partybets ice hockey shenanigans, or they'll take another £4 off me for a dormant account.

Right, going to try to buy my train ticket home (again - I was strongly requested to cancel the first lot by Her Up North, but I now have to buy *exactly* the same ticket again. Oh, the wonders of family

Families - don't you love them on occasions! Sorry to hear about the problems with the deliveries, this is one time I am glad we would have to go to the shop! Mind you we don't even know where we will be for Christmas yet, a lot depends on whether or not Dr Dragon is working.

Karmacat

Hi Dragon, how are you? You don't know where you are for Christmas yet :eek: you're a stronger woman than I am! Actually, we have the family get together on Boxing Day, and I've no idea how/if thats happening. It'll be a *really* quiet Christmas without that. I may put another bottle of wine in that order

I know I go on about my mum a lot but she's elderly, and I worry

The delivery - well, it won't be the worst thing in the world to have to go to the local Waitrose on foot, I'll get a taxi back .... I'd rather not, thats all.

Just done my 4th hour, one more to go early this evening, and I managed to buy my train ticket online. Off to post the Amazon parcel now, then a cuppa tea while I browse the threads. And possibly a marathon/snickers bar for later!
