The Birthday Girl is Back

What a week, and what a brilliant birthday weekend!

It's hard to believe that this time last week we were registering at the Newport Bay Club reception desk.

It's a lovely hotel, with excellent service and well trained staff - highly recommended.

Our spacious bedroom had a very comfortable queen-sized bed, and French windows opening up into the garden, overlooking the lake. It was truly magical, just right for us.

Friday night found us in the main Disneyland Park. We were pleased that the queues were very short, so managed a cruise on both Pirates of the Caribbean and It's A Small World and still had plenty of time left to enjoy the evening parade, fireworks and of course some good French food and wine.

It brought back fond memories of 1994, the last time we were there with my brother's young family. We had to keep going on It's A Small World with our 6 year old nephew because he was completely enchanted by it. Anyone who has been there will know how the music just sticks in your mind!

A bit like 'I know a song that gets on your nerves!' Sorry - lol

I spent my birthday enjoying the Walt Disney Studios and all the goodies on offer - I even got a birthday kiss from Mickey - even though he was a little shy. Then another lovely meal and relaxing hotel evening to follow.

Sunday saw us back in Disneyland where we had a marathon day doing all sorts of good things - again very small queues - so it was perfect.

I walked my socks off, and didn't my body know about it! My only purchase was a packet of plasters for my poor feet and toes - only just getting better now - almost a week later.

Monday was going home time, so we spent the morning limping around the lake and enjoying a leisurely lunch on the hotel patio. It's amazing what a nice bottle of wine can do to relieve pain - lol

And here we are home again and getting back to normality - whatever that is - and guess what, it's the weekend again, so time for another little break. Also time to start looking for decent timed Malaga flights for our Sept/Oct break, that might well be the next time we see any sunshine. Whatever happened to our promised summer here?

Oh, nearly forgot! I had some lovely cash presents over at the Birthday Bonus Club, so if you havn't joined yet, go and have a look here - it's really exciting.

Well, tonight sees yet another mega EuroMillions rollover jackpot - this time it's £49million, so if you're not yet in it, why not try your luck with 36 lines for only a fiver? You never know your luck and the two star balls are already guaranteed! Now what part of the world shall I book for with my winnings - teehee!

Have a great weekend

Thought for the day:

The things that come to those who wait may be the things left by those who got there first!

I'm Almost There!

Today's the day - the day that we fly off to Paris for EuroDisney and my BIG birthday on Sat - yippeeee - can hardly wait!

Bags will be packed this afternoon; travel docs and euros are already at hand, so that just leaves me to be parcelled up, pointed towards the door and driven to the airport around 6pm.

I'm really looking forward to staying at the Newport Bay Hotel - a bit of luxury in the evening with good food and wine - and a lot of fun in the day in the theme parks. I've never been to the Walt Disney Studios before, so that's something else to look forward to.

Can't believe I'm going to wake up on 11th as a pensioner - lol - where did all those years go? I remember wondering at 30 what I would be like at 60 - well I'll soon know, and I don't think I'll feel any different, except maybe more content in my life, and very sure of who I am.

In fact, at 30 I wasn't even sure if I liked myself - sounds crazy - but I now know for sure that although far from perfect, I'm more than just an OK person, so I'm very happy to be ME! I like being Just Jill, and I love doing what I do.

I'm fortunate too in my choice of work; starting with the elottery was one of my better moves. It allowed me to leave the bank, has given me the opportunity to choose what I do on a daily basis, and pays me on time every 4 weeks.

I've also made many friends around the world, something I could never have done when I was working. Plus it's great fun; and you never know, because of the brilliant unique syndicate system, we could even have a big jackpot win! We've had loads of smaller wins, but because we only need to match 5 balls and not 6, the jackpot is much more winnable!

Anyone who is open to considering a PT business opportunity should look no further. I'd be happy to explain it.

Well that's it for today from this 59 yr old, I still have a few things to finish before I start packing for Paris.

Mickey doesn't have a clue what's coming his way - lol - I wonder if he will join me for breakfast on Saturday?

Thought for the day:

Winners make big things happen a little bit at a time

Have You Seen What Happens On Saturday?

Can you believe that another month has flown by? Here we are in July and it only seems like last week that we said hello to June!

I wonder what lovely things this month will bring? As it's my BIG birthday on 11th, I'm hoping it will be extra special. I'm really looking forward to Disney next week. But before that, there's a rather special event taking place on 4th!

Did you know it's the massive Sorteo Extraordinario on Sat? The 'San Ildefonso' draw that happens once a year and I bet you've never even heard of it - lol - I only found out about it quite recently.

It's a Spanish institution, a time when whole families buy lottery tickets and crowd around the TV in hopes of winning the 'big one'. And it’s a very big one indeed – a GUARANTEED jackpot of 140 million Euros! In the past it’s been nigh on impossible for anyone outside of Spain to buy a ticket for this amazing prize, but the brilliant elottery system has pulled a few strings and you can now stake your claim on this life-changing jackpot.

So, could a lottery win change your life?

Do you dream of winning the big one every time you purchase your lottery ticket? This is a great way of boosting your winnings with a system that always puts the odds in your favour!

Buy your tickets today to change your life!

The draw takes place on July 4th, but don’t delay! This is different to other draws where you can get in right up to the last minute. With this one, there are a fixed number of tickets available and they sell out very quickly. Once they’re gone, so is your chance of being 140 million Euros richer! Elottery syndicates improve your chance of winning by giving you access to 10 tickets, each with a chance of winning up to eight times.

With 80 chances to win, you are GUARANTEED to share at least one cash prize in this draw!

Enter now, before it’s too late!

No more tickets will be created once these have sold out, and with the assurance of 140 million Euros being given away, they’re selling like hot cakes. Entering literally takes a couple of minutes, but it could change the rest of your life. So why not enter now before it's too late?

Now what am I going to do with all that cash - what a lovely problem to have!

Thought for the day:

A fine is a tax for doing wrong, whilst a tax is a fine for doing well!

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!

Yes, another weekend is upon us, and it looks like we might get some sunshine up here in the N.West - at last!

It's maddening when you see the UK weather forecasts, and almost everywhere is promised sunshine with figures well into the 20s, and then you see the grey rain clouds expected over the NW. It happens time and time again, but this time it's looking good. Today is cold and breezy so hopefully there'll be a little magic overnight, and we'll wake up to a lovely summer's day.

Don't think I'll be dusting the cobwebs off the BBQ yet though. Why? Because I don't like the rules!

BBQ Rules

We are about to enter the BBQ season, so here's a little reminder on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:
(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:
(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine....
(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:
(10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....

Sooo, although I enjoy eating outdoors, I'll just cook in my kitchen and take it outside! Have a wonderful weekend.

Thought for the day:

Who tastes dog food when it has a 'new & improved' flavour?

A Brilliant End To The Week

What a good week, and what a nice ending too.

Guess what, my car insurance is due next week so I shopped around for a better deal and ended up getting £80 cashback plus free legal protection and roadside assistance!

Now that's what I call a good deal.

It's all because I used the comparison websites to find my requirements at their best prices - and then, when I'd narrowed it down to a handful, I went into my cash back site, found the same companies in there, compared prices again and then bought the best deal! Easy peasey

My house insurance is due in July, so I'll be doing exactly the same again then.

Well after all that hard work, I think I deserve a little rest and maybe a treat! Wonder what I'll have - clink clink - teehee

So have a great weekend - I wonder what goodies next week will bring? Maybe I'll share a big win in tonight's £50million EuroMillions rollover -that would be lovely.

Cheers

Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift... That's why it's called the present.

A Great Way To Save Money

I just love a bargain - so does my mum - so maybe there's an unknown hereditary 'bag a bargain' gene still waiting to be discovered; or maybe it's because we're all wise old birds who know a good thing when they see it - OMG there's that 'old' word cropping up again - lol

I discovered cashback sites a long time ago; and they are brilliant. I wouldn't dream of buying anything online unless it was well-priced plus offers cash back too ; but none can beat this one!

Why? Because not only is it using well known retailers and top brands in both UK & USA, and of course gives cashback on your purchases, it also has a fantastic tell-a-friend feature where they can get cashback too, and YOU get a thank you for recommending it, in the form of extra dosh - how good is that?

I've had excellent personal cashback payments on all my insurances, stationery, printer ink, electrical goods, garden accessories, DVDs, CDs, books. You name it, and you can buy it with a good discount plus cash back!

Another thing I really like about it, is that it is completely free to use and always will be.

It's also a great way for fundraising groups and charities to bring in some extra funding, so if you know anyone, no matter how small the group, they really need to know about this.

If you havn't registered for your free site yet, then you can do it with me here

Must go now, it's time to go find a new 'love seat' for my lovely garden.

Happy shopping

Thought for the day:

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed?

Look Out Mickey - I'm On My Way!

Guess what I've done?

I've booked another little holiday - and this time it's all about ME! I'm usually so busy doing these things for others, that it's really great to have sorted something out for little old me!

Oh dear, did I really say old? Is that what's going to happen on July 11th? Will hitting 60 suddenly make me decrepit? I still can't believe that it is really me in the mirror, or that the mature lady in the shop window isn't my mother - or even my father - where will it end.

And my best buy last month was a 'hair crayon', supposedly to help disguise my grey roots! Last time I crayoned, I was about 7, and that doesn't seem so long ago.

There's been loads of mail this month from pension companies, pension departments and the tax office, all enclosing forms to be read, signed and returned - with the help of reading glasses of course - and even life insurance companies touting for my business. No sign of a funeral plan yet! They can go and take a running jump.

But back to Mickey and July. I've booked a few days at DisneyParis, and I'm getting excited! We last went 15 years ago when it first opened. It was April and it rained most of the time but we still enjoyed it; and of course now there will be loads of new things to see, plus the sun could be shining too.

I've booked the Disney Newport Bay hotel. It's a nautical theme; and as Iain is an ex sailor, he will just love it too. Hope we don't have to keep saluting, and hope we're not in hammocks! I wouldn't mind splicing the mainbrace with a daily tot of rum though.

I'd always wondered why Disney chose N.France for their European site, and not Spain. Afterall, the weather is important and Spain is a much better bet for sunshine. I got chatting to a nice guy on skype last week. He is a theme park consultant, and he told me that is was all about the money - so nothing changes does it!. Apparently, alledgedly France gave Disney the land for free. Don't know if he is right, but it kind of rings a bit true...

We're both really looking forward to it, and it's only 6 weeks away! Only 6 more weeks of not being a pensioner - lol - better start practising soon! When I start saying 'In MY day....' or 'Do I know you...? ' or even worse; 'Who am I?', you'll know there's no hope left for me.

But until then, move over Minnie, Jilly's back in town, and girls just want to have fun.

Thought for the day:

Don't put off until tomorrow, the things you could have sorted out today - you'll feel good and be very glad that you did them

Have You Seen What We've Done Now!

I can't stop grinning from ear to ear - and my jaw has started to ache too - lol

And it's all because of what has happened with my wonderful biz this week.

It was always a snip at £9.99 p.a. Yes, it really did only cost such a small amount to set up and get started - crazy I know, especially when you think what you got for your investment.

But now (and I think someone's been on the happy pills) VWD have made it completely free - with no hidden fees or upgrade costs!

I am still finding it hard to believe that this incredible business, plus all the extra professional marketing tools and other support systems, can now be started at ZERO cost!

It's amazing, plus they will soon be giving away free Golden Tickets that will be entered into monthly draws for valuable prizes - with a car at Christmas.

Also. there's a new web 2.0 viral networking page that will build the business for anyone who has the sense to make use of it.

It just keeps getting better and better, where will it all end?

Probably with me suing the company for permanent damage to my jaw bone - must google 'compensation for making me too happy' and see what pops up! Teehee.

Have a great weekend


Thought for the day:

Don't let life get you down; why not do something a bit differently today - maybe just one small step - that could change things for the better.

Probably The Deadliest Virus Of All Time

Sorry guys, but we can all do with a good laugh sometimes - enjoy - it made me laugh out loud - hope it does the same for you!

Can You Believe It?

Yes, it's the weekend again, and wow, what a fun two days.

Not only do we have a HUGE EuroMillions rollover jackpot tonight, it's followed by the UK draw on Saturday plus the MEGA monthly Spanish draw too.

What a load of dosh!

And we're out and about still celebrating Iain's birthday!

Can you believe that the EuroMillions is a massive 124million euros - £110million - and that the Spanish Superdraw is an amazing 84Million euros - £75Million - wow!

It makes the UK £5million sound like peanuts - lol

I love the way our clever syndicated system puts the odds in our favour.

Did you know that it automatically guarantees that the 2 star balls are covered in the EuroMillions, leaving us with only 5 balls to match instead of the usual 7?
Here's a demo.

And the Spanish draw actually guarantees at least 3 cash wins for every player; and that's in addition to having a major share in 10 decimos.

Why people buy their tickets in other ways beats me, but it's probably because they don't know about elottery, and the way it gives everyone far better chances of winning plus multi-wins when they do win.

Even if people were in a private offline syndicate, they still couldn't win as much, or have more chances than if they were in elottery - even after the shareout!

Here's where you can get free results by email

Yes, Iain's birthday continues; we're off to Chester on Sunday for a birthday lunch with good friends who couldn't make it down to Marbella. Can't think of a nicer way to spend a day. Really looking forward to my July birthday, think I'll make it stretch right up to Christmas, and then start again - teehee.

Would that mean I'd get multi birthday bonuses too?

Whatever you are doing, make it a good one.
