Our last UK trip our credit cards were rejected twice (in two and a half weeks of using the cards a lot) at pubs for not being pin & chip. Both times we used cash. There was never a problem with getting cash from an ATM with our cards, so I would say just make sure you have some back up cash on you in case you need it and you'll be all set.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oooh, yes! And Drew too! D'Artagnan and the three musketeers. (I don't think I'm missing any other buffista frequent fliers.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Towels moved from the washer to dryer. Random things dusted. Next is sweeping the middles of the rooms. I am petering out, but the one after this is easy and kinda fun.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Sweeping is done, shoddily, but that's the point. Time for a citrus break! Then, culling magazines and catalogs. It doesn't take ten minutes if I'm doing it regularly, but I haven't done it since before Christmas, so it will probably also involve some idle browsing.

I've been trying to be ecologically conscious and keep washing my vinyl shower curtain rather than buying a new one, but it's gotten to the point that washing doesn't get rid of the dingy color cast, and I want my bathroom to look nice. Pity this one isn't yet available for purchase.
And I loved the look of this one until I saw the jaw-dropping price tag. I can only assume those circles are made from actual finely hammered gold.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is super gorgeous but I am never paying that much money for a shower curtain! I ended up with the kind you can just throw in the laundry, which works for me. I was never able to get the vinyl kind satisfactorily clean. Which reminds me, tomorrow I should throw those in the laundry.
Anyway, I did peter out, but I did pretty good, really. Tomorrow I'll mop & gather and take out the trash & sort the recycling. There's other stuff what needs doing, but that'll get the main stuff done.
I also found a check for $45 while I was culling magazines, so I consider myself well compensated!

(The article was rejected from a magazine a while back, so my garage is actual all organized and clean now. But still.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I had started my routines a little before getting on board with the flylady. waking up to a mostly clean kitchen is nice. The biggest thing - doing a load of laundry most days. Since reorging the bedroom laundry goes from the basket to the washer to dryer to put away . No piles f clean laundry every where . It dissapoints the cats. but I don't have dreams about piles of my fold laundry on a table in the middle of the library. Yes, I have nightmares about laundry. I usually enjoy my dreams with monsters
