Today was Criccieth Fair.  I use to look forward to it when I was younger.  I guess it does not have the same impact today.  Apprently the one this month is the smaller one and there is a bigger one next month. Today is a sad day if you are a Chelsea fan, as Didier Drogbas said he is leaving the club, I have no idea who will score goals for us now

A few months ago I advertised on a recycling site, regarding an old ceramic shower basin, there was no response, so it was still here in the garden.  The other day I decided to try again and get rid of it, without having to resort to paying the council to come and pick it.  This time I advertised is a thing that you could grow plants in, as a raised bed or something, this time someone has showen some interest and they are coming to pick it up tomorrow apparently.  It is really interesting how if you put some kind of spin on something, that it has an effect, but I guess I knew this as I have done a course on it, the art of persuasion is very interesting.  I am now wondering if I could get rid of an old mattress, if put some spin on it.

Wasted a bit of time this morning, thought someone would be somewhere but they weren't.  While listening to the radio this morning someone suggested, as a way of cooking a baked potato quicker, to put a skewer in it, so the heat travels inside I guess, I tried it today and it not make much difference as far asi can see, so I will stick to the microwave which does do it qjuickly.   This evening I rang my phone company, as they are offering free broadband and phone cals to new customers, so I thought I should have this too being a loyal customer.  Apparently I am not able to have this offer as the exchange is wrong or something, I am not sure what they meant, but they gave me a fiver off for the next 6 months anyway, well they said they will anyway, I guess I shall just have to wait and see.  Today also I saw the British Gas are giving new customers a 1000 pound off their bills, seems qjuite nice, I have not rang them up yet.

My tinnitus seems better today after an awful weekend of it, hoefully I am over the worst and it will settle down hopefully.   It has been a very eventul day really, just did some laundry and some shopping and chatted to few people.
