Mundane News

[Speicher]

Why are there so many abandoned socks in the Mundane Lounge? Small pink fluffy ones, grey stripy ones, bamboo ones ad infinitum.

This explosion of hosiery means only one thing, it is time to call in the experts on footwear crime, yes of course, contact Soco!

Maybe these shades to go with the t-shirt?

It seems daft that a mains powered smoke alarm which has batteries as a back up now has flat batteries !

Premium Bond checking time. £150 worth of beer tokens for me this month

£25 for me.

Just another £50 for me
Good start to the day here thanks
First cuppa downed
Showered
Now chilling before the daily down the stairs commute

Bremium Ponds win of £25 for me!

I ask merely out of curiosity because I do not have PBs but do you folks re-invest the winnings back into PBs or do you spend the cash on a little treat?

Yellow is maybe my favourite colour,but it does seem to attract bees and wasps in the summer. Walking down the street thinking 'wow,how cool am i'?!. you soon lose that coolness when you start flapping your arms and duck and dive to fend the annoying gits off!

Have. you joined the Liberals?

The prizes are paid direct into my bank account. Sometimes, like this month I will be lending someone a small amount (interest free obvs) on Kiva.

The above link is just an example of the sort of lending I can do.

There is even a CycleChat team, but I am not sure how many people in that team are still active on here now.
Sometimes I spend the money on a plant or extra tasty food items, like Waitrose curries etc.

I don't have a lot of PBs but I reinvest for now.

That was my first thought as well, although l wasn't aware that Freemasonry was around in France....interesting !

Quite in vogue, from the Revolution until the Twentieth Century.

This is awesome & not mundane at all, maybe even worthy of it's own thread, are there risks?

 

[carlosfandangus]

I had the same thoughts too, please tell us how it works, mundane or not

I have a premium bond, brought for me when I was a nipper. Apart from the checker I can't get on their website, it just tells me my browser is unsupported and advises me to update it, I'm on chromium and its up to date, I tried firefox and got the same.

I am just about to have a very early lunch, and have Things to Do. I will try to compose an easy explanation, and post later today.

Briefly, yes there are risks, but the riskier ones are highlighted, and you are told the reasons why. The minimum lend is $25, so it is a small amount to risk. I will try to see how many of "my" loans have defaulted, not many I think.
