Simple living in the country - back to basics

🙄 Guess who drove 11 miles to the big Sainsbury without picking the vouchers up off the table?

🙈

So blinking annoyed with myself!! One runs out on Monday, but the others are valid for another week so we may be coming next weekend too 😂

Oh Cheery - what a nuisance! 😱😱😱

That’s what I normally do 😂😂😂

Well, we are home, and I am marginally less annoyed 😂

The voucher that runs out on Monday is 3x points- today we acquired 6 points, which would have given us 18points, which is what, 9p? 😂

The two that have over a week left are 100 points when you spend anything in the cafe, and 220 when you buy dental stuff - between them they're £1.65. We may take another trip there next weekend - I hadn't finished all my library books so will need to take them back within the next 3 weeks as I've renewed the max number of times online. Also I didn't renew quickly enough and got a £3.50 fine! Pah! 

NOT a good money-saving day here! 🙄

That is something I would do too!

I had to stop getting books out for that exact reason! I'd rather spend the fine money buying the odd kindle book

Oh how I wish it was the odd kindle book.  I have in desperation resorted to buying the likes of books 1-12 for 99p.  I read in bed & the last 2 nights I read a whole book each night.  The big problem of course is that I mostly read murders & always want to know if I have worked out the right murderers.  At least I don't need the light on so when it falls on my chest the bedside light doesn't waken me up.  What an exciting life I lead.

😂😂 I'm glad it's not just me! Less annoyed about the vouchers now, and more annoyed about the fine! We did physically go in today to drop some of the books off though, and it was toasty warm in there, and they were selling cups of tea for 30p, and there were quite a few folk sitting reading the paper, doing a jigsaw etc, so I'm happy to contribute a tiny bit to them running as a warm space.

The pair of us have been completely wiped out this evening, I hope we're not coming down with something. I did half an hour of scything, then spent the rest of the evening watching crap TV and plaiting my rag rug. Temperature has definitely dropped out there, my hands were freezing by the time I came inside.

Your library sounds lovely Cheery 😊

Temperature has dropped here this evening - proper chilly cycling back from the pub - was glad I had an extra layer (and also that we timed our journeys to avoid the rain).
