I ordered the 99p a week Amazon Prime and saved £15 on a Morrisons/Amazon £70 order for later in the evening.
Groceries/Morrisons code was SAVE20SHOP1 and is the first of the 3 voucher offers…
22/4/25. This week, check the Amazon Book Sale and perhaps get 5% off when we order 4 books. I switched accounts and found 2 separate Amazon Prime 7-day deals for 99p. So I can start early tomorrow. I recently claimed a £5 Video Rental credit this week.
British Gas Submit Meter Readings, NB phone 0800 07 28 625 and provide the answer for your account number based on your monthly email bill information. It takes a few minutes, yet it’s a free call.
USWITCH sent me an energy tariff email update for British Gas, so I visited the British Gas website to check available tariffs. I have about 15 months remaining on the V51 tariff, and I switched from this to THE LONGER FIX V30 tariff for 24 months starting tomorrow, 23/4/2025. The tariff increase is about £35 a year for my account, or 10 pence extra a day. The charges are the same for day or night electricity, so no concerns about what time the electrical equipment gets used.

There are some film trailers for this Easter film, and I wrote a new poem about it.
I saved about £50 thanks to the Atlas For Men website and spent that getting a new domain website. The http://www.ionos.co.uk website had a special offer, so I signed up for the next 5 years. I forwarded the domain to my web page on the poemhunter website, so as long as that’s active, the link goes there.
I was using the ROKU set-top box this morning, and that was how I saw an app called Google Search. It had several film details, and in the Top Box Office for the US, the Gospel film had an impressive cartoon-style trailer. That made me wonder if any useful domain names were available. The ionos website is often shown in our UK TV adverts, and its website searches for the available domains. That’s how I could register the domain so quickly today.
VAT is included in domain name orders, but the first year is reduced anyway.
Film details are shared on the Internet Movie Database website here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt7967302/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1
I like this site and others because they provide the cast details, and this film includes famous voiceover actors such as Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan.
The latest update for eBay caused some setbacks for sales recently.
The Make An Offer option didn’t work well, so I couldn’t get what I wanted each time I tried. It’s still hit and miss.
One item I did get fell apart as soon as I lifted it.
One item was a pack of recording DVDS, but I was sent the DVD+R format instead of the DVD-R format I needed for the DVD Recorder.
I spent a few hours taking photos to prove what had happened and telling the sellers by getting them onto an Internet set-top box, then a flash drive, and then onto the computer to send the messages using eBay.
I watched episode 2 about a mysterious cinema in which people went missing.
The companion’s I wanna go home theme was changed to What could it hurt to investigate? From then on, her life was put in danger until finally the whole thing turned around, and ended up lucky for one and all. The Disney cartoon and musical situation was unusual, but still made the story worth watching.
This weekend, I received several emails from Atlas For Men offering 3 for the price of 2 items. I learned that although I had a known account, I had to register it and apply the discount code. I made 3 different orders before the offer ended at midnight, and the savings were about £49. I will receive 18 fleece jackets for over £5 each.
April 2025 update:
This month, I learned an extra way to use this Google website:
This free service is a podcast review, meant for an article, poem, or question. It’s initially limited to a website or uploaded, i.e., pasted text. The podcast gets generated, and we can download that audio discussion.
Even so, it was suggested that we click the DISCOVER SOURCES action to have the AI search for relevant content, which we select to include or exclude. So we get extra websites listed for references within a few seconds. The podcast may generate longer reviews.
I can also mention a combination of image search resources. Visit the Ecosia search for chosen images, then switch to the images tab to view these. Now select the extension or add-on called LOADFY or LOADIFY. Now it can capture the original images and provide the large or original files. We can then select which images to download or download them all and select later. The Ctrl AND S save command or the Save As A Web Page command saves hundreds of those images for us. These are in a separate folder, so we either use a File Manager, Windows Explorer, Irfanview thumbnails or the Irfanview one image at a time view.
Google search Irfanview to choose the Windows system downloads for Win 32 or Win 64 computers. Download the plug-ins from the Plug-Ins website page, too.
The thumbnail sizes can be set to help see fonts and text in images, such as quotation images on Pinterest or eBay information in their product images.

http://www.ebay.com and http://www.ebay.co.uk and http://www.ebay.ieMINTY25 is the 25% discount ending on the 20th of April 2025.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/e/coupon-offers/minty25
Minimum order £10, maximum discount £75.
Not new items, but look for items with free delivery to get a better discount for such items. Look for Make An Offer item to get a better deal as the items aren’t new.
Some can access the BBC iPlayer and see it for UHD picture quality. For so much eye candy as this show presented, that must be wonderful on a large screen TV. I’m going red, blue and green with envy…
:
Check Google for UHD TVs and devices. Visit TV showrooms for on-site demos. Then decide if you want to go bankrupt or not.

For one character in this story, it was Sasha waste… and enough to make a Time Lord cry.
:
I’ve seen how the Doctor gets to react to the horrors of his adventures, I’ve seen the collateral damage, and I’ve even seen the Doctor cry. He doesn’t give up despite the tragedies. The mistakes are tragic, but the stakes are high, so he does what he can and motivates others. Some live, some die. He knows that well, but when he sees no other way, he leads them into battle, risking his life and theirs. He may regenerate, but they don’t.
:
Take it or leave it, this is the reality he faces now and then. He lives with it, they don’t. In this episode, we see how others blame his companion until she faces her part of the blame based on circumstances beyond her control. Calling these circumstances timey-wimey doesn’t change the solemn outcomes.
:
In this story, we learn of an extra situation called melding with someone else and entering into that person’s timeline. That changes the Doctor into his positive-thinking approach to life yet again. So this new season has changed the companion story into another Mystery Tour.
:
It’s like the Doctor saying, I’m special, you’re special…
:I watched this episode, and it was a story told well enough. There were some amazingly professional high-class special effects and many explanations to help us keep up with what was happening. Wherever the Doctor turns up, there’s a backstory. This gives us the impression that a companion has a secret theme that gets unfolded episode by episode. If you think that the death scenes of falling heroes and heroines are exciting, then you miss the point of the companion’s compassion for her part in their downfall. She comes across as a medical nurse with an inbuilt duty complex to sacrifice herself to stop the slaughter.
I use Ethernet because it’s also more reliable for software updates that may last up to 30 minutes for some devices. Hopefully, faster, if you can afford the fast Internet speeds for such downloads. I learned that Virgin Media has the slowest speed, as the 125 Mb service, so I couldn’t downgrade and get a better deal anyway. The settings vary with device, and sometimes different names are used to add to the confusion. The Hisense TV and the LG TVs have different TV settings, but I still search for other devices for theirs, such as my DVD Recorder and its settings. Seeing differences isn’t easy for fast-moving scenes, as the processor has to adjust frame-by-frame to fix as much as it can, rather than how I hope to see based on ordinary TVs.
As for my health, I’m awake one minute and almost asleep soon afterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
