The Tuesday sock crisis

I had a great Fathers' Day a couple of weeks ago - home made cards, cup of tea in bed, lovely presents etc. One of my lovely presents was a set of socks with the days of the week on them - Monday to Friday and I carefully made sure that I had the correct pair on every day last week in preparation for the inevitable inspection. I think that the intelligence agencies of the most paranoid countries have nothing on the observational skills of an eight year old.

Anyway, I met the requirements every day last week and was able to relax over the weekend as the socks didn't cover Saturday and Sunday.  Yesterday (Monday) I put ready and wore the right pair for the day.
Then panic struck last night - I couldn't find Tuesday's socks!

The sock drawer was turned out  - not there.
The laundry basket was turned out - not there.
The washed duvet cover was turned inside out - not there.

Eventually, at midnight, I took the drawer out of the chest of drawers and there, nestling comfortably at the back on the floor were Tuesday's socks. Whilst I was at it, I checked on all the socks for the rest of the week so I won't suffer from this terrible trauma again for a few days.

Guess what? This morning, the socks were forgotten and nobody checked.

OK - enough about my exciting life - hope your days are going well and that some of my stuff is helping you. Check out my Five Simple Rules and my Greasy Palm article. Getting paid to click will follow shortly.

Here's to you!

Try the Five Simple Rules

Well I made it through Monday with the only damage being that I aged a day. Now the week's started, I'm back in the swing and still devoting two hours a day to my income streams.

Anyway, as promised, I've published my Five Simple Rules which I hope will help you to focus some of your efforts successfully. Keep at it and let me know how you're doing.

That Monday feeling already

Sunday night again and that have to go to work tomorrow. I enjoy most of my work but I'm looking forward to the day when I can choose when and how much I work. I know I'm now on the right track and that that day is not so far off - still doesn't make Sunday nights/Monday mornings any easier!
Anyway, at least the weather is fantastic here in London even if the England football team couldn't produce the goods in the World Cup. If you're depressed about that, at least take comfort from the fact that you're taking the steps to have a comfortable life.

Do have a look at my article about the potential earnings from Greasy Palm.
Also, look out for my next article on simple rules which is coming soon.

I'd love to hear from you with your comments and ideas. You could also subscribe to email updates if you'd like to.

Have a great week!

Come and get it! Cash in the armchair and on the web!

Hello to you!

Starting today - a new blog which I see as a fishing net which I'm going to dip into the swirling waters of the internet and catch a significant amount of that free money which is swirling around out there (nice metaphor? Or can you think of a better one?).

So Wilkommen, bienvenue, croeso and welcome to my blog - I hope you like it and that it's useful to you.

So what's it all about?

I've been aimlessly swanning around trying my hand at websites, referral programmes, get rich quick (not!) schemes for years now and until relatively recently, I've ended up paying more than I've made in a lot of schemes and "offers". So many of the "schemes" and "failsafe opportunities" involve stitching someone up to make money out of their trust.



This year I made a New Year Resolution for the first time in my life. I decided I was going to do it properly, actually research money making methods and give it a proper shot instead of just joining loads of sites and never really giving anything enough attention to succeed.



I also decided I was going to share what I found out and that my approach was going to be based on honesty and recommending stuff I know to be good.



So I hope you'll look here for regular reviews of routes to our early and wealthy retirement starting today with my review of the cashback website Greasy Palm.



I hope you'll find this blog useful and sometimes entertaining and I welcome your comments which I will try to respond to as frequently as possible

Thanks for reading this and I hope you'll come along again soon.
