Would it help to make a list per day or week of what you want to achieve?

Factor in fun time or relaxing time too, it is your holiday after all.

I think tonight I'm going to write a list of jobs to get done over the next 4 weeks. Each week I'll choose a few, as well as the usual boring housework stuff! I just want to get on top of everything so when I'm at college I won't have other things I feel I should be doing:rolleyes:

I love it when my house is all tidy and organised, makes me feel better:p

I do have a laptop I want to get rid of - it's not being used as it's so slow and I don't know how to sort it!

Is it slow because it's ancient/broken? If not I could always PM some suggestions of good (100% free and available online) software for removing viruses/malware/redundant registry entries and generally tidying up a PC. My GF has me use them once a month or so as her laptop gets bogged down with cookies and other junk thanks to her love of internet shopping!

Well it's less than 2 years old and hasn't been used since Jan as I ca't be bothered to wait 15min after switching i on before it's ready to use! it's a Toshiba Satellite and was ok for a while, I had it completely wiped and started from fresh once as it got slow - then it got slow again! It has no anti-virus stuff on it (oops, nor does this pc or my other laptop:o) - I never know what I'm doing so don't bother!
If you could help with laptop I'd be a very happy girlie:D:p

Will send over my list of 'killer aps' for dealing with dud laptops

*Edit: I can't seem to be able to send you the links to the programs (must be a forum security thing). They should be easy enough to find on https://www.download.com as mentioned :money:

I'm having a productive evening;)
I have the carp laptop out and have been working through edinburgher's recommended programs - not finished yet so can't say whether it's helped:rotfl:
But...while I've been waiting I've been on the pc and have got stuff on ebay - 12 items I think. About half were relisted things and some new ones. I've decided to put buy-it-nows on all of them for once, see if that wrks. I usually put things on the free 99p listing, but I sell so many nice bits for 99p, I want to try get a couple of pounds more:rolleyes: Also if people need stuff for holiday then they cant wait for the listing to end, so my buy it nows may work....We shall see.....:D

Lovely bright evening here - youngest outside with her friend, eldest on the half decent laptop (mind you, it only works when plugged in and if you bump the cable it goes off...me and laptops, not good:o)
