I can go well into the day with some nice cool water that way. It's a lifesaver in summer!

I wouldn't do that here.

It's way too easy to spend if I know I can. <br /><br />Stopping for coffee before any engagement is ALWAYS a plus!! I picked up an iced mocha on my way back to work at noon.

It would mean, if I can get it, that I don't have to apply for a visa to Lithuania on landing in the UK. I have the cost of the UK visa... the Schengen visa seems to be around the same price, perhaps a little more, but I'm fairly sure it will be cheaper than getting a whole separate visa and certainly a lot less effort. <br /> I had to wonder what you were on about with the pawpaws - must have something to do with the fact that I'd just been watching Romany, but yes, those are pawpaws hanging up there. They hang them in mesh bags, much like our oranges and such would be sold. That fruit is used for smoothies.<br /><br />Kippy, I use my debit card. I hate, hate, hate the credit card. It's not a normal credit card and it's deuced awkward to use.... not so much to use, but to pay. No points here unless you have a regular credit card. The card the lady was using was a meal card. As part of the salaries, most companies give a meal voucher. It used to be on paper, now they have a card system. Naturally, I don't qualify for one. I'd love to have met you for a chat, but then I wouldn't have blogged =Þ~° Tint °~http://tintalasia.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-64289637411994084792010-07-08T21:02:13.000+01:002010-07-08T21:02:13.000+01:00I love that you were early enough that you got to ...I love that you were early enough that you got to stop for some coffee. :) I wish I coulda met you there for a chat. :) I'm guilty of not using cash anymore, I must admit. But I get returns on my card. For every dollar I spend, I get a point. 3,500 points gets me a $25 gift card for the place of my choice. :) So I use my card to pay all my bills and stuff, for the rewards.Kippy Spilkerhttp://geminaigraphics.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-13618185692968880402010-07-08T20:52:05.000+01:002010-07-08T20:52:05.000+01:00A Schengen visa covers a lot of European countries...A Schengen visa covers a lot of European countries and lasts for a fixed ammount of time. Grrrrr!! Does that mean you have to get one?? Are you going to get one that end or when you arrive? I'll make enquiries as to how much etc. Are those pawpaws hanging up??Katey kaleidoscopehttp://kateykaleidoscope.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
