Day Off

I've taken today and tomorrow off, and if today's anything to go by, heaven knows what tomorrow will bring.

The main thrust of today was to get my car through the MOT, which for readers outside of the UK is an annual roadworthiness test, without which you cannot obtain road tax or insurance. The car passed first time, but came with a list of 'advisories' which mean that you need to start looking at these things before they become problems. There's a problem with the front brake pads, a link arm, a tyre and a couple of minor things. Also, the cam belt will need changing soon.

While I was carless (or careless depending on your outlook), I did all those little things that you don't get to do when you're at work. A trip to the bank, a little shopping, a chat with the council, and I joined the local library. Hell, it's something I've been meaning to do since I moved to Swindon in January 2000... six years and eight months later, I finally managed to do it :)

In other news, I was disappointed to see that Quidco have received notification from Equitalk that they're not going to pay me my £14 cashback. I've lodged queries against this bearing in mind that I am using the service and generating them some income. On the other hand, I have received trickles of cashback from The Hut which is pleasing. Let's hope that Unibet come up trumps with their £50.... I really hope they do.
