Alright, Book 2 is all typed out. Tomorrow I'll start typing out Book 3, which will probably take two or three days at most, and then next week I'll type out the stack of loose scenes and dialogue for Book 4 to prepare for next month's NaNo [National Novel Writing Month].

You should strongly consider a really nice keyboard. I'd be coding like mad personally if I could still type that much.

How do coupons work?
Are they only for people on benefits?
How do you get them, in the mail or what?

Coupons are free for all- as long as you have it and it isn’t expired, use it-

u can get them in the mail. Also can cut out of newspapers, sometimes shops have little ‘newspaper’ looking catalogues that also contain them

Nowadays u can also sign up to get emails from shops or companies, that send u coupons- u dont even need to pribt them out usually.

Can just show it on your phone to the cashier.

So, you use them for buying groceries?
Like, would you have to take a dozen coupons in to the shop, or show the checkout operator a dozen coupons on your phone?
Isn't that a bit cumbersome?

I'm guessing you don't have them where you are either?
I was imagining they were something like those government issued food stamps.

People on unemployment here get a cashless debit card, so they can't buy alcohol or drugs or gamble.

Not that I know of. We get milk tokens for babies and I know some asylum seekers were given Sainsbury's vouchers but that's all I know.

In even older days, even scale and perspective hadn't been invented yet. It was a bugger when you got home to find that you couldn't fit through the door of your own castle any more!

No it's fine.

Be friendly, chat a bit eg "been busy today?"

Be aware if there is a quew (I can't spell in) behind you.

Keep going back.

What kind of shop?

I forgot the obvious. You would need to be buying something.
