I've started a "life sorting" to do list in addition to my day to day and week to week ones - there is so much going on in my little life!

What sort of things do you have on this list if you don't mind me asking?

I have (and this is just the start!!):

1. Sort 2010 / 11 ISA as my current rate is almost ziltch
2. Get my contract for new job in Uganda sorted
3. Get my US taxes sorted as I dont owe anything but am late on getting my returns in
4. Get an American Express card so I can start building an American credit history in anticipation of buying a flat in New York someday (far, far away!)
5. Sort out clothes and books before big move in 6-8 weeks!
6. Negotiate Uganda start date (both with work and with OH )
7. Up pension contribution
8. Buy phone (current one is crap and I'll get a sim only deal in Uganda)
9. Sort out my bills for current flat that I obviously wont be living in soon
10. Get all my shots updated before heading to Africa
11. Set up leaving do

All a bit manic, eh? And all rather disguising the biggest emotional change coming up of no longer being with the man I've been with since I was 17....

Listy:

• Porridge brekkie - no croissant just cos it's Friday - and definitely no breakfast butty! Long gone are the days!
• Walking :cool: No bus just cos it's Friday
• Deciding on balance transfer - 0% for 9 months (currently 4.9% until June) :T Plenty time to get it paid off, y'see :T
• Pay balance off 'pay-it-all-off-every-month' cc ^ so I can go ahead with bal transfer before 31st March
• Not worry that ^ will leave me skinto until the end of the month. Nothing much planned anyhoo.
• Take boot to cobbler to see if he can fix the heel - cheaper than new boots
• Visit threading lady… not sure how this is DFW - but I have left it twice as long between appointments as I usually do
• Get excited about my half price Graze box being delivered :j
• Get a 'fake away' with supermarket pizza and a bottle of vino to share with OH :T

Boots only cost £2.50 so nice result there :T

Pizzas for us - £8 rather than about £18 for delivery

Pleased with that - have a good evening all

Hooray! Its Friday :j:j:j:j:j:j

((Hugs)) to nottoobadyet but you obviously have your reasons

La E - excuse my ignorance, but what on earth is threading??

Karb - it is good that your DS wants to be involved in things at school

Today:

Checked online banking

Saw to chooks and dogs - 2 eggs today :j(that was the chooks though, obviously :rotfl: - 2 is a great result as I only have 2 chickens!)

Free paper on train for boring journey and Gua*dian website for proper news, also free

Cheaper car park at station - saved £1.50

Packed lunch for work

HM breakfast and supper from stores

Washing on line to dry

Collected prescription (not MS - cost over £14 for 2 items, and I read it is going up again :eek:). Might have to look into pre-payment.

Still to do:

Pay Amex card balance off, online.

Check ebay item - 23 watchers last time I looked. Only 1 bid at the moment though. It ends on Sunday, so hope that I get a few more bids. Then need to work ot how to pack it

Hope you all have a good evening :wave:

Oh it's fab - better than plucking/waxing eyebrows - saw this American vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIeHYNt-rl4

Actually, on youtube I have just seen how to do it yourself! Didn't think that could be possible because the woman I go to holds the thread in her mouth but no stopping me now - will give it a try next time!

DawnW - threading is a method of hair removal.
