  • NOt much action on this thread lol - but it's helped me to list my jobs so I'm going again this week! What I must do:

    - stick to study plan (finish assignment, work through workbook, watch 2 dvds and listed to 2 cds)
    - keep on top of washing and ironing
    - try and move debt left on high interest card to a lower one
    - find someone to go to theatre with to see Brief Encounter and An Inspector calls, and ask friend to book tickets as she gets 20% discount ;)
    - chase money owed from two friends for tickets I've bought
    - clean kitchen floor
    - polish and hoover downstairs done

    Crikey, I haven't posted here for 2 weeks and it's scary to see how little I've done!!

    So, as well as the above, this week I will:

    - write letter to Tesco to see if they will reissue exired deals tokens
    - phone Sky to get multi room box sorted (before cancelling multi room and using it as a freeview box ;) )
    - sort out i tunes and i pod
    - email boss with complaint!
    - phone Orange and sort out my useless phone
    - work out how to upload ics from phone to laptop
    - send tax credits form to see if I'm eligible for the 02/03 rebate
    - try and book Sun holiday


    yikes - better get moving! :eek:
