    :rotfl::rotfl: Organised?? No, not at all! I try and do things to improve my finances...often at the expense of other areas of my life, but I get twitchy if I don't do MSE things for too long :o I need to feel like I'm making progress, otherwise I get stressed, so I do things to relieve the stress, odd I know :o

    Right, lots to do tonight, so I will post a list and see how far I get.
    1. Call Be and get broadband sorted - Done :D
    2. Find out if EDF can charge you cancellation fees if you move to Scottish Power - Done. They won't charge me if I move :D
    3. Catch up on emails - Almost done :D
    4. Double check which phone/broadband package is best
    5. Sort out Santander zero card paperwork - Done as much as I can without needing to call up about a couple of things. Will finish off tomorrow. Done :D

    I've already posted my letter to Hastings Direct, so there's one down already :D

    Yeah, I know! I need to get stuff done this week though, so can't fall into my usual habit of coming home and collapsing on the sofa in front of the laptop/TV.

    I do stuff in the ad breaks as well quite often. I work well in short bursts and you can get quite a lot done in lots of 5 minute chunks.

    Hi Gwen, nipping in very quickly...

    Glad you're feeling better this week. Best of luck with whatever happens with work, glad you can see positives with whatever the outcome may be. Will catch up properly soon, not sure how my eyes are still open!

    Goodnight :A

    Yay Bowski, you're back!!! :j I read your message on SAID. I'm glad you're decluttered and feeling better about things, but I'm glad you're back :A How were you still awake at that time?!? :huh: (<- They've took away the confused and rollseyes smilies)

    Things are ok here. Bit of a rough start to the year, but hopefully things are on the up now.

    I've pretty much completed my list from the other day, just got to catch up with a couple of people, sort out my energy switch and my broadband switch. Ok, I've still got quite a bit to do, but I feel like I'm making progress.

    List for tonight:
    • Call friend - Done :D
    • Write packing list for weekend
    • Washing - Done :D
    • Sort out energy switch - Done :D
