Monday 8th October 2018

The pup only wanted 100% of her walk this morning so there's nothing in the bank yet, but that's OK.

The shopping has been and gone already too but I keep forgetting to take my cocktail of pills, so I'll do that now.  Hold on...
***

That's me hayfever pill and 3 supplements taken... they were sort of middly to get down today.  Not hard but far from easy too!
***

Reviewed a couple of books and 6 other things on Amazon this morning too.  Got 2 deliveries from Amazon coming later this week too after buying them with the vouchers I got for my birthday then that's it until the end of October when I'll be getting me jacket that'll hopefully fit, unlike the 2 I've already got here lol
***

Just taken me prescription.  Doubt I'll have an early night though, I need all the sleep I can get after a very disturbed night last night.  😞
***

Virus and malware free for another day, thankfully.
***

Me prescription is kicking in nice and early so I'm gonna post this then head to bed for a much-needed early night.

Nite nite orl!

Sunday 7th October 2018

That's the pup walked, fed and watered... she wanted to go for her walk before me this morning!

Cleared up and binned the pup's poo from the back yard all on me own this week... t'was a struggle but I still managed it.

The rubbish bag, cardboard bag and recycling are all out too without any arguments this week!

Go team!

Just gotta take me morning cocktail now and wait for Mitzi's flea treatment to turn up then I can relax for the day!
***

The hayfever pill, Iron and Multi went down with no probs at all, but the Calcium crumbs went everywhere again.  Took 3 mouthfuls of squash to get 'em all down and I is bloated now, because of it!  😞
***

Had a tiny square of Steve's lemon drizzle cake between the hayfever pill and the 3 supplements and can still taste it now!  Yuckerama!
***

That's the yearbook finished with and the spreadsheet updated... not bad for 2 days work!
***

Mitzi's flea and tick treatment has just arrived so we'll put it on her after Steve's finished watching the new Dr Who... he's already complained that there hasn't been any "twiddly intro music yet" and it's only been going for 3 minutes!  lol
***

The pup was awesome about having her treatment sorted and she's protected for 8 weeks now too which is brilliant... just need to remember to put the second dose on - I can almost guarantee I'll forget, so I hope Steve remembers lol
***

OK, put the 2 future treatments into my laptop's calendar... just need to remember where I've put the box now!  lol
***

Me prescription is starting to kick in, so I'm gonna head to bed now.

Nite nite again orl!

Saturday 6th October 2018

22 years, 4 hours and 18 minutes ago I lost my second twin.  Gonna be another downer today, but this is why I always dread my birthday and haven't celebrated it for 22 years!
***

Supplements taken - they all went down really easily this morning - even the Calcium crumbs went down with a single mouthful of squash instead of going everywhere like they usually do which is brilliant!

22 years, 4 hours and 44 minutes.
***

Backup done for another week.  Just need to walk the pup now then that's it sorted for the day, other than answering the door to the packages.
***

That's the puppy walked and fed.  She poo'd on her walk and I cleared it up and brought it home with me, like the responsible owner that I am.

We're all set for the day now though, just waiting for the packages to turn up then it for the day.

Gonna go through the yearbook and update the spreadsheet while I'm waiting though!

22 years, 5 hours and 52 minutes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yesterday's birthday cardigan has just arrived and I love it!!!  It fits perfectly, it's not too long despite my petite body and assuming the elbows don't disintegrate before Christmas, it's gonna be a daily staple for me too!

Nice and thick/chunky as well as cozily warm, I'm not going to need 10 layers even if it snows for 4 months... I love it soooo much!!! 

Assuming the jacket is equally warm I'm gonna be a very warm, happy camper over the colder months... can't wait for the snow now, just to try it out in below freezing temperatures!!

Thank you so so much to the manufacturer for coming up with such an awesome cardigan! It's 56% off the usual price too, so snap it up fast while it's better than half price!

Product review: FIYOTE cardigan


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

This has just arrived and I already love it... assuming it isn't destroyed in the wash and the elbows don't wear out within a couple of months, it'll be a staple of my wardrobe over the winter months!

WTG FIYOTE!!!

The virus scan takes 45 hours

The virus scan finished 2 hours ago so it takes 45 hours instead of the 30 it did a couple of weeks ago so I'll know for next week now.

Friday 5th October 2018

Happy birthday to me
Squashed tomato's for tea
There's a nutter
In the gutter
And yes it is me!

What a way to start my birthday... got a serious case of the squits!!  😕

Gonna take me supplements now and hope they go down OK again, like they did yesterday...
***

The Iron disintegrated on my tongue and the Multi took two big mouthfuls of squash, so not as easy as yesterday, but it could have been a lot worse!
***

Virus scan is still only at 30% after more than 24 hours.  I'm gonna give it until bedtime tomorrow then give up unless it's over 75% by then!  😔😣
***

Just walked our senior little girl.  She only wanted to do 50% but I forced her into doing the full 100%.  She was reluctant to even get her harness on though today!
***

Been spoilt rotten today!  Thank you for the three cards and gifts and all the birthday wishes on Facebook!  I really appreciate all of them!  The postman/woman is going to hate us tomorrow 'cos I've got 3 packages and Steve's got one, all arriving tomorrow!  😃
***

Just bought a flea and tick destroyer to hopefully ease the pup's scratching until the New Year.  Poor little pup will hopefully get some relief by the end of the weekend.
***

Cheesy chips and baked beans for me birthday tea and I is full to the brim now!  lol
***

Just taken me prescription and I'm wiped out after todays shopathon so I'm heading to bed now... nite nite again orl!

Thursday 4th October 2018

Just set AVG running a deep scan.  When I did it last Friday it wasn't even at 50% after 2.5 days, yet when I did it the Thursday before that it was done and dusted in 30 hours.

Dunno what that extra days difference was, but if it completes it in 30 hours again this time I'll set the scan going on a Thursday morning each week instead of a Friday 'cos I definitely want to do a weekly deep scan, but not if it takes 3 days before it reaches even half way.  Makes no difference to me which day I do it on, I just chose Friday because it's the last day of the working week is all so moving it to a Thursday is absolutely fine!
***

12% done and it's only been going for 20 minutes so, in theory, it'll be another 30 hour job again 'cos this is how quick it was done two weeks ago!
***

26% twenty minutes later so it's achieved almost as much in twenty minutes on a Thursday as it did in 12 hours last Friday!  Not gonna get too excited by it 'cos it got stuck at 35% for over 10 hours last week, but as long as it's over 30% by the time I head to bed tonight and 45% by the time I come down tomorrow, it's on track for finishing in 30 hours again!
***

Just got back from walking the pup.  We came home after 100% today 'cos there's no way I could have safely done even 10% more.  The pup wanted to keep walking, bless her, but for safety reasons we had to retire the car for this session (or whatever the motor racing wordage is).  Last week's walkathon really took it out of me so I'm gonna have to go easy on the lengths for a while now so that my body can slowly recover.
***

The pup is eating her breakfast now but this is the second day she hasn't poo'd either on her walk, during the day or overnight!  If she still hasn't poo'd by the time we come back from her walk tomorrow, I'll ask about what we should do on one of the Facebook groups to see if they can come up with any suggestions.  Her last 2 poo's were sort of squitty so maybe there just isn't any poo left inside her atm?
***

Just taken me morning cocktail and they all went down amazingly easily this morning!  Even the Calcium crumbs went down with a single mouthful of squash!!

Total awesomeness and so much different to yesterday!
***

Me prescription has just arrived, so I'm all set for the next 5 weeks now... yaaaay!
***

Just got my first ever freebie through the post from Pampers... a single nappy, wipes and 2 coupons for money off my next purchase, which is so totally awesome!  Didn't have a clue that they were coming to me, but hopefully this is the start of a deluge and it's worth those few minutes a day applying for freebies!
***

First survey of the day completed!  Only took a couple of minutes too!
***

Second survey done... that one only took a couple of minutes too!
***

Third survey done and dusted... all three were for the same company though so i hope I get the full, promised rewards for all three as opposed to nothing at all 'cos I followed three different links and got told all three times that I'd get the reward within 5-7 days!
***

Just answered the door to Steve's tea so I'm off to bed now... nite nite orl!

Wednesday 3rd October 2018

That's the puppy walked and fed.

She forced me to walk 150% this morning so there's 50% in the bank after 3 days and I seriously couldn't have walked any further today 'cos me legs are exhausted and me knees are painful.  I'm gonna struggle to move for the rest of the day now.  Walking the equivalent of double the distance every day last week really has taken it all out of me so the only time I'm gonna leave the sofa today is to go to the bathroom 'cos I seriously can't move any further today.
***

First survey of the day done and dusted.
***

Supplements taken... had to crunch up the Multi as well as the Calcium because I just couldn't swallow it for some bizarre reason today.  😞  I've got a gross taste in my mouth now too, because of the multi  😒
***

Having half a packet of curry crisps to hopefully take the taste away then a couple of cheese and onion pasties each for lunch... I feel sorry for anyone I come into contact with today and tomorrow lol
***

I've had to resort to opening a can of ginger beer to calm my stomach down... crunching up the multi was a seriously bad idea but my throat was closing and there was no other way that I could take it!  😟
***

Did the shopping earlier and can't remember how I've spent the rest of the day so I'm gonna take me prescription and wait for the quick virus scan to finish then head to bed.
***

That's me prescription taken and I'm virus free but still can't remember how I spent the afternoon other than having Burger King food for tea... everything else is completely lost to the brain damage again!
***

Going to bed now... nite nite orl and sorry for such a short and boring blog post today!

Tuesday 2nd October 2018

The puppy only wanted to do 100% again today which is cool and groovy but there's still nothing in the bank.  I think last week's walk-athon (700% extra by Sunday afternoon) took it out of both of us and we need this week to recover!
***

Morning cocktail taken... all four pills behaved this morning!  Even the Calcium only took 2 mouthfuls of squash to get all the crumbs swallowed, which is awesome!
***

First survey of the day completed... that's already 100% more than yesterday!  😮
***

Just scanned my likkle laptop and I'm still virus and malware free, thankfully.
***

Second survey finished... had to install a bit of software for the next 6 weeks for this one!
***

Taken me prescription and my repeat was issued yesterday, so hopefully I'll have it in me hands at the end of the week.
***

Third survey done and dusted.
***

I is totally cream crackered, so I'm gonna publish this then head to bed for an early night.

Nite nite orl!

Monday 1st October 2018

A pinch and a punch
for the first of the month!

and all that jazz
***

Just taken our senior pup for her walk and we only did 100% this morning which is fine and dandy, considering there was 700% in the bank at the end of last week.  As long as she does 100% every day I'll be happy and if she wants to keep walking then that's a bonus, but I won't pressure her to walk any further if she doesn't want to, like this morning.
***

That's me morning cocktail taken.  The Calcium crumbs went everywhere and it took 3 mouthfuls of squash to get 'em all down, but other than that they all went down OK this morning.
***

Great customer service from some selling on Amazon... I emailed them at the end of last week and said that I still haven't had the item so they said to give it another 48 hours and if it still hasn't turned up, let them know and they'll get another one in the post!  They even replied on a Sunday afternoon/evening too and in less than an hour of me contacting them too!

They'll be getting a 5 star rating from me when the item eventually turns up... sometimes getting things from smaller businesses on Amazon's marketplace is worth more because they care about their customers than huge multi-national companies like Amazon, where everything is automated and it's often like getting blood out of a stone to get a human to reply to emails at Amazon too!!
***

AVG are fantastic!!  If you are after good quality, high protection anti-virus and anti-malware protection, definitely go with AVG... in less than 15 minutes with the sales bods with their online chat thingy, they found that I had 2 different accounts which is what I was billed for and paid for last night.

Less than 15 minutes later with no pressure either way, all totally my choices, I've got rid of the single computer protection that I was billed for last night but I'm still protected for unlimited devices until January 2020 and the refund process has been started.

All sorted really quickly and easily at almost 9pm on a Monday night!

They offer a free version of the anti-virus software, but if you can afford to pay for it then it's definitely worth it many times over!

They aren't the cheapest but what you get for the few pounds extra is soooo worth it!  I can safely surf the interwebs and read my emails and download things as well as being able to upload updates to the writing software, all without worry!

As long as you can safely download one programme, get AVG downloaded and installed just to initially protect you and try out.  If you love it as much as I do, definitely pay for the full version so that you're protected from malware too then you can safely use the internet knowing that you are totally protected!

It's the first thing I do after a new computer purchase or reinstall of Windows, even before I've set my email accounts up so that I'm protected from the very start!
