Google AdSense ads finally working..

I mentioned in October, that my Google ads weren't working, but as I verified my address and all, earlier on today, I thought I'd tinker with them again, and now they're like I want them to be - at least for me.

Above and below, the big red arrow is pointing at where my ads should be, and what size they should be. (If anyone sees something different, please let me know! You can either leave a comment to this entry, or email me - my email address is on the contact info page.)

So, there should be a small horizontal banner after the top 1-2 entries, and a vertical banner on the right side bar, below other links and widgets..

I think I've blocked certain types of ads (like adult stuff, dating, and whatever I find über-annoying or offensive in general), so I'd also like to hear about it, if such ads somehow end up being displayed here - I really don't want them on my sites.

So, SO beautiful..

Killing time, yesterday

I had an extra day with not much to do.. =)

    

The best €20 ever spent..

LIDL (SilverCrest) ceramic fan heater, €20 (which I mentioned here already).

I am in love with my HotBot! =)

This is just.. epic.. =D

Christmas shopping (OMG - in November!)

I'm not a Christmas person, really.. I hate how they seem to start with the Christmas adverts and decorations earlier and earlier, year after year.. I think there should be a law against Christmas marketing before December (or the First Advent, which may be in the end of November, at times).

However.. I was doing my weekly shopping at LIDL, yesterday, and just happened to see these wooden Christmas trees (above), which looked like something I could use for decorating presents.. (Oh dear..)

I ended up buying all kinds of Christmas wrapping materials.. :o

Well, at least it's all stuff that I'd have to buy, anyway, so now I'll have spread the cost a little bit.. (And I already bought the Christmas cards, before..)

    

    

I can blog the pics already as these are just wrapping materials - no actual pressies.

They also had lots of other stuff I'd had on my shopping list for months/years - like a €20 ceramic fan heater for the attic (enjoying the warm air right now, mmmm..) I've been freezing in the unheated & half-insulated attic for over six years, so it's about time I got some heating! Also, I got some useful car stuff, etc. So, I spent a week and a half's budget in one go, but it was all necessary stuff.

Eyesores mail =D

My Eyesores arrived, yesterday! =D

I actually got the post in the morning, but as I was on my way to LIDL, I decided to open it later - I wanted to really enjoy it.. =)

There was a lovely message as well, from the artist!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Psst, if you are not familiar with Eyesores, check them out!

Roasted noms

Not sure if it's possible to embed more than one pins from Pinterest, these days.. (I've always hated the "new", widget-like tags they give - I much preferred the old tags where you could choose the picture size, and it would appear as a normal photo, with the Pinterest links below it.)



Anyway, the other day, I was looking for the simplest recipe for roasting broccoli and cauliflower. Well, not that there's much to it, but I wasn't sure of the oven temperatures and roasting times. Also, eventually, I didn't even have any broccoli left (forgot I'd already used it..), so I ended up roasting cauliflower and potato wedges - separately.



Below, my versions - not that pretty, but totally gorgeous =)

Cauliflower..

Potato wedges

I cut my hair and got married..

Hehehe.. No, I didn't really..



At work, earlier on today.. And that's all I'll say about that!

Royal Orchard blackcurrant high juice - glögg plans..

Above, a screenshot of my public post on Facebook.

So, get your Royal Orchard blackcurrant high juice (€1.45 @ LIDL), and enjoy a quick and easy winter drink, mmmmm..

I won't be trying the glögg version just yet as it's a Christmassy drink for me, but I'll be blogging about it in December - I just hope that LIDL Ireland will keep this stuff in their selection! =)

(PS, this is NOT a sponsored entry or anything like that! LOL ... I just really like the stuff!)
