Diary Monday 2nd January 2016

Photo taken by me – my 2017 diary
Preston, England
January 2, 2017 6:48pm CST
The weather improved today and it was quite pleasant out when I made my first venture to the shops in days. It was still a bank holiday because of New Year’s Day falling over the weekend, but buses in Preston ran an ordinary Sunday service. I picked up a new tin-opener as mine broke yesterday, and did a little other shopping. Among my purchases was some discount Stollen, which is normally expensive here but probably not so popular after Xmas. I also discovered Confit Duck And Boozy Berry Crisps which are very nice and again, very cheap. I job searched and later, on a recommendation right here on Mylot, I subscribed to a website called Niume which looks very promising. I want a better outlet for my photo images than Clickasnap which is very slow to pay out and you have to earn $25 there while Niume pays out every $10.00. It’s early days yet but I’ll see how it goes. Arthur Chappell

I've joined Niume too but haven't done much there yet and nothing over the last week or so. I think I've already seen you there. Hope it works out well for you. It's hard for a while getting used to a new site.

@The_Bong_Woman Basically you put up photos in various categories and people comment on them. You can comment on others' photos and somehow you all earn pennies from it. The comments mostly seem to be very short so that is a good thing in some ways.

Ah, did you go to Aldi? Those crisps were amazing. We also bought some Kir Royale ones and they were absolutely divine. They were sparkly on the tongue. I have no idea how they managed to make them do that!

It is fun after the holidays to get good deals on what we otherwise would not buy. Niume is a site many here have joined. We are all hoping 2017 will be a year that allows everyone to earn more.

Good luck with the websites... I have had bad luck with can openers too! Hope this one lasts for you
