Monster Slippers

After Christmas Sale impulse purchase, turns out quite nice!  I am considering getting a second pair!

Money Watching is like Sheep Counting

I periodically check my accounts, and this time, I found some missing money!  I emailed the relevant people right the way, but it has been missing for 2 months, I am not happy.

Now I understand how farmers feel.  You know you have x number of sheep, but you have to keep counting it, just in case someone stole them or just to know how they are faring.  It is hard work!

English and the Snow

The was a 15-minute blizzard, and everyone panic.  The Scot Rob tried to drive home in the heavy snow, Sarah was about to change all her travel arrangements, Austin was going to take holiday in case he cannot get out of his drive, when I had faith it would stop soon.

Castle Hotels

I have suggested lake-side or Castle hotel, and Carol and Stef bought into the idea.  Besides it is extortionate, and Stef is a bit picky with regards to the authenticity of the 'Castle'.  Tourists...

Exacting Apparently is Bad

I was talking to one of my subcontractors about something being inaccurate.  We know each other quite well, and he made a remark that being exact, having high expectation is root of disappointment, and Rob nodded.

Then I said if you weren't exact, I would change you as a subcontractor.  I wasn't really joking either.

I haven't grown out of my high expectation, but I have learnt to cope with disappointment.

European FX

European FX has been on a downhill slope.  Greece maybe shaking this further.  Hopefully it would reach a stable low point soon.  I told Carol to hold of her GBP buying and watch.

It won't be long before the election here, and everything is up in the air.

Ocado Challenge

We got this Ocado coupon for 25% off and free delivery, if we spend over 100 pound.  It was a challenge!

I have tried to put 100 pounds worth of product together, and failed.
