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.

Thought for the day:

If you can't be content with what you have received, be grateful for what you have escaped.

Guess Who is Back?

No, it's not Arnie the terminator, it's just Jill the twitterer.

Yes, I'm back from a wonderful holiday; and Iain really enjoyed all his birthday surprises - I did too - and I knew what was going to happen - lol.

Marbella was great even though not as sunny as usual, but who cares when you're away and relaxing. And of course there's always the sunshine in a bottle of vino! TeeHee.

The musical Oliver was magical, and we really enjoyed the behind the scenes theatre tour beforehand. I was a little disappointed before we went, because I heard that Rowan Atkinson was out of the show for three weeks after a hernia op, and was being replaced by Russ Abbott. I like Russ, but was really looking forward to seeing Rowan play Fagin.

But I shouldn't have worried, he was brilliant; really funny in some scenes, and suitably serious in others.

So that's Iain's birthday over with; mine next in July at DisneyParis - and no kids in tow - watch out Mickey, I'm on my way.

So what did I find upon my return? Loads of good things - another huge EuroMi!lions rollover - and an exciting change to the elottery programme!

Did you know that Friday night's mega jackpot is now a massive 99Million euros - £89Million - that's a serious amount of dosh!

I would love to invite you to join me in our professionally organised syndicate. You'll get 36 shared entries for just £5.00!

Plus, the unique way we play guarantees that the syndicate you're in will match both 'Lucky Stars', so we only need to match 5 numbers and not 7

And NO, that's not a typo - you really do get 36 entries for just a fiver! Play alone and 36 entries would cost you £54.00!

That's just one of the reasons we call this 'the smarter way to play'! And smart way to work too!

So if you fancy a go with no obligation to play every week, click here.

There's also a short movie that explains how it works.

And here's the breaking news about the biz side:
I can hardly contain my excitement, I've a permanent grin on my face, but believe it or not, from May 11th we are bringing out a new website and dropping the affiliate fee. Plus there will be free prize draws every month for every player plus matching prizes for the sponsors, and a car at Xmas. This biz was always a bargain at £9.99, but now that it will be free, it will soar to even greater heights.

Don't you just love it when everything comes nicely together!

Have a great weekend.

Cheers

There's always something to be thankful for. If you can't pay your bills, just be grateful that you're not one of your creditors - lol

Flying Down To Malaga

Hurray, holiday time is here again, and we're off to not so sunny Spain, but hey, who cares about a little rain when there's a whole 2 weeks of doing nothing to look forward to.

We love Marbella and the slow pace of life. I will even manage not to go online - well maybe on the very last day just to see what lies ahead - lol

And of course we've Iain's BIG birthday celebrations to look forward to and a long weekend in London before we go home.

That's if we come home of course. You never know, we might win the lottery whilst we're away! I wonder what we would do if we did win? Probably still go home to sort a few things out, and then fly back again to chill out and decide upon our next steps.

We're also looking forward to showing our Spanish friends that we now offer a smarter way to play the El Gordo and other Spanish draws too.

The next MEGA draw is early May, so if you want a share in 10 decimos, have a look here.

Well it's almost time to go and pack my case, so adios amigos y hasta la vista!

Thought for the day:

Don't trouble trouble unless trouble troubles you!

Watch out for Wednesday!

I've just heard something really exciting.

I've been a member of a brilliant 'cashback shopping club' for the last year. It's a system where anyone can have free membership, and then whenever they buy something online, they do it through their own free personalised cashback site, and then get great savings and money-back on their purchases - even when buying things on eBay!

It's only been available here in UK, but the brilliant news is that it expands into USA this Wednesday, 8th - hurray!

In a similar way to here, it will be linked to American retailers, so now everyone in the States can enjoy cash back and great savings too.

And the even better news is, that there is a fantastic business opportunity attached to it - completely free of any costs - so click here if you want to make big savings, and/or earn extra income too - join up today and start telling your friends soon.

Have a great week ahead.

Cheers

Jill
