As you will have lived in various vicarages I thought of you and felt you would smile that in 1809 it was the young vicar's mother who persuaded her son to petition the parishioners to demolish the ancient church as it was a cold and draughty place - on the edge of the sea due to land erosion. <br /><br />Unfortunately she was successful! But thankfully the towers still remain.Lesneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139947264337493961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849067128981431752.post-12278938890139753202015-09-26T14:14:15.259+01:002015-09-26T14:14:15.259+01:00For the vast majority of surveys I don't quali...For the vast majority of surveys I don't qualify either. I reckon that when everything is taken into account I earn less than £1 an hour on surveys except when it's a focus group type of thing and I was doing surveys for a very long time before I got invited to those. It must have been the best part of a year before the income developed into anything significant.<br /><br />I am very well organised when it comes to surveys - the sites are all bookmarked and I check in every day. Each time I settle down with a cuppa I do a few surveys. Some are fun, but some are incredibly tedious!Frugally challengedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222391810215537820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849067128981431752.post-23919900941991854242015-09-26T14:09:52.543+01:002015-09-26T14:09:52.543+01:00Thank you - and welcome to my blog.

I have tried to do some here but I usually 'don't quality'.

Your grandma was typical of the enterprising women of her day. Women tried all means they could to earn some money, for some it was washing for others or mending - what an example to us.<br /><br />Your means is the modern day equivalent - I have never thought of anything like that even though our income is limited - how clever of you; yes, your grandma would be proud of you.Lesneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139947264337493961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849067128981431752.post-71116537335786046452015-09-26T13:06:19.568+01:002015-09-26T13:06:19.568+01:00Thats a great story.

It reminds me of how my mom brought home her tip money, rolled all the coins at weeks end to turn in for cash or the checkbook for household bills and the loose coins went in another can. Twice a year that can was used for school shopping and Christmas extras. I'm sure there were years when that was all the school shopping or Christmas money.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849067128981431752.post-82880450484985631072015-09-26T09:33:25.890+01:002015-09-26T09:33:25.890+01:00What a lovely nostalgic post.

I dithered with the idea of chickens but decided against simply because they are a daily hands on job and I am sure the novelty of fresh eggs soon wears off. I remember holidays on a family farm with a torch looking for missing hens ...not funny when it is wet and cold. Lovely story.
