Hello, and goodbye! Not been around much lately, but thought I'd pop ina nd say hi. Hope you have (or have had by the time you get this!) a fantastic time away. Enjoy!

Hello! :wave: :wave: :wave: I’m back! And I’ve seen the lovely Hypno and the lovely Pania on my travels, in the flesh! My visit to my mum went well, my trip to Stargateland went well (Michael Shanks on a flying visit to Northampton, from Vancouver to Florida, sigh….) and my visit to Norwich, to see not only Hypno and Pania but also an uncle/aunt and cousin, went splendiferously.

The only remotely dark tinge to any of this is that I never realised before that I actually need a wireless router (i.e. a wireless modem to the thickies like me) before I can use a wifi system. Or a dongle. Whatever. There are some areas of modern technology I’ve resisted, and I think I have to join in some of them now, unfortunately. Ah well.

What have I done that’s mse on this trip? Little bits…. couldn’t eat out much cos my stomach was really upset… so I bought supermarket food (a bagged salad is cheap compared to getting the same thing in a restaurant, of course, espesh when it’s the end of the day) to eat in my room …. cheap rail tickets….. the lattes and the teas are cheap in Hypno/Panialand too…. stayed in a B&B not a hotel, and you honestly wouldn’t know the difference apart from the number of rooms – ensuite, walk in shower, flatscreen tv, lots of fire precautions, fridge and microwave available for use with lots of takeaway leaflets…. :money:

And I’ve seen what my uncle (who’s less than 10 years older than me) has done with his garden – he’s self sufficient in salads and onions, and its beautiful, and I’m sure I have as much garden as he does. I am absolutely determined to be mse in salads, at least, and that will mean I’m also being mse in one form of exercise. I’ve decided to do an exercise class also, to make some everyday connections and get out of the house. And I’m raring to go on my matched betting and mystery shopping and virtual then real trading.

Oh! I feel like I’ve had a holiday! And I have! Off now to look at all the diaries I’ve been missing, as well as other stuff.

Hello! Sounds like you've had a lovely time - glad to hear it

peb

Great to see you back; even better to see you've had a good time.

Karmacat

Thanks! I did, I had a lovely time! I'm just unpacking and cleaning clothes and whatnot at the mo, trying to do surveys but not getting anywhere, tho I have just qualified for a pigsback voucher, hurray. Today, since its the Euro 2008 quarter finals, I'm hoping I'll find a matched bet - I'm doing a basket of stuff where I have to do a 5 x WR, which is quite a lot, so I need quite a few. And I have to go into town today to buy some food, the only fresh food in the house is onions, and thats not *quite* enough :rotfl:

Hello Karmacat. So glad to hear you had a good holiday and are feeling refreshed. Hope that feeling stays with you.

Karmacat

Thanks, Seaxwyn! Certainly is at the mo. To keep the energy up, I think I have to get going doing more physical stuff, inthe garden, walking, doing an exercise or dance class, definitely getting out a bit more. Off in a few mins to go to the local shops - I meant to go into town, but a Lightspeed survey took so long to process each one, I don't have time before other stuff I want to do. I'll survive - I can get my hair cut on Saturday, thats okay. Haven't seen your diary yet, how are you?

Karmacat

Right, today I have:
- done a mega Lightspeed survey
- walked to the local village shops and bought veggies there instead of either getting a bus into town or buying at the humongously expensive (and stale) local shop.
- started on my 3rd WR for b365.
- been doing the virtual trading - 64 points profit, hurray.

As well as all the unpacking/cleaning/opening post, blah blah. Not bad. I haven't done any free bingo tho... have noticed that Virgin Casino have just given me £3 to play with, so might try to do that tonight.

Hi KC, it was lovely to meet you the other day. Glad you enjoyed your visit!

Grab a piece of paper and get designing your "new" garden - it will be very therapeutic as well as MSE!!
