Bargains – Boots No.7 Lift and Luminate Collection Half Price & Brantano Shoes 20% off everything online & Personalised Christmas Adventure book

This has to be the Bargain of the DayQuilted Compact Camera case for £1.40 including delivery, yes, £1.40!! I have already ordered mine but excellent as stocking fillers

Rain in the morning and then it stopped and the sun came out, it reminded me of UK weather when you never know what clothes to put on! Another trip to the dentist, the last for a while with Mal having his teeth cleaned and my new crown fitted. We are both very pleased with Ipek.

We then went to pay my car tax which runs out the end of November. The woman didn’t want to take the money and told us it isn’t due until 1st December. We told her yes we are aware of that but would like to pay it today. She didn’t want to take the money!! It’s no wonder the country is so short of money. Perhaps if they took revenue when it is offered and actually collected in all the taxes due, they would be far wealthier. It just still seems alien to us that you go into a government office and they refuse your money. We did get it in the end, 64tl. It has gone up from last year when it was 57tl!

On the way back we bought some weed killer (animal safe) from Green Garden. It’s called Knock out and is 24tl for a litre and they write the instructions on in English. We also bought Cyprus Today, which also included an article on TRNC Citizen, David Haye about his exploits in I’m a Celebrity…Get me out of here.

So Chelsea have sacked Di Matteo, their NINTH manager under Abramovich. That won’t please Torin. As Chris Evans said “Another Roman Burial at Stamford Bridge”. Ha ha.

TRNC Citizen David Haye in the jungle

 

Thought for the Day –  “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs
