    Debt-free and Proud!
    And both policies have tracked at quidco! Wahey! :j

    Right - dinner in the oven - time to review the day.

    Checked back and I had three jobs to do:
    • [strike]Finalise insurance[/strike] DONE - with wonderful savings and cashback! Have also cancelled direct debit so they can't do the auto renewal - which I will cancel anyway tomorrow.
    • Sort out tax paperwork Nope - nowhere near - and don't think I'll get to this today.
    • Finish final report Next on the list (after MSE!;))
    Didn't get the tax done because we went out for a lovely long walk this morning with the dogs - it was such a beautiful frosty morning so had to make the most of it. So no tax sorted yet but am still happy with the day!

    Tomorrow I have a few things to sort out - just noting them here to remind me:
    • Cancel auto renewal policy
    • Check NCD proof has got through to new insurer
    • Send cheque off for mother's Christmas pressie
    • Book car into MOT
    • Order OH's present (by phone)

    Sounds like a good positive day.Glad you enjoyed a lovely long walk with the dogs.
  • How have you progressed today? Hope it has not been too hectic.
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    First chance I have had to take stock of the day. Firstly things from yesterday:
    • [strike]Cancel auto renewal policy[/strike] DONE - all sorted.
    • [STRIKE]Check NCD proof has got through to new insurer[/STRIKE] - checked and still not showing - emailed through last night so will give them a day or two.
    • Send cheque off for mother's Christmas pressie - darn forgot cheque book so will have to do this when I get home
    • [strike]Book car into MOT[/strike] DONE - in for Thursday - eek!
    • [strike]Order OH's present (by phone) [/strike] Sort of done - rang but none in stock before Christmas so back to drawing board on that.
    Now for other stuff today:
    • [strike]Clean kitchen[/strike] DONE
    • [strike]Hoover[/strike] DONE
    • Check on line banking
    • P[strike]repare for work meeting[/strike] DONE
    • Report and expenses (still!)
    • Ring accountant re date for tax meeting
    • Report for training client
    And a load of work stuff! But getting through it.

    I wish!

    Not much progress made at all (except on some work things) - but have confirmation that NCD has been received so that is one thing completely sorted.

    Hiya. Trying to keep perspective on stuff - you can only do what you can do at the end of the day (how many cliches can I fit into one sentence?!). Seriously though am trying to prioritise and not get too worried about things - and am looking forward to Friday when I have a few days away.

    Today though have a work trip to the midlands - and a train to catch - so better get dressed! Talk later.
