    Oh if only!

    Final score:
    Essential 11/11
    Important 5/6
    Desirable 3/8

    The reason why the important list kept expanding was because I was trying to get ready for something that I thought was happening tomorrow afternoon, and then discovered it's actually tomorrow morning. But that will give me more time tomorrow afternoon - some of today's desirable items will reappear on tomorrow's list as essential!

    My Santandr 123 account has got its cashback today - another £3.53 for the emergency fund. It would have been more if the gas/electric DD had been moved across when I asked, but I'll have to wait for next month for any cashback from that now.

    Sig duly updated :)

    Searched the house looking for bike lights. Found three rear ones and one front one. Went out and bought 2 more front ones to make three pairs. Got home. Realised that although I've got plenty of old lights that work, I don't have fittings to attach them to the bikes. Managed to attach two of the rear ones in a not very orthodox way, but will still have to buy a new pair of front/back just because of the missing fittings. Frustrating!

    Interesting idea. I'll have a look in daylight tomorrow morning. I'm not sure it would put them pointing in the right direction - they might point too much downwards and not enough backwards/forwards - but it would be worth a try. Thank you. :)

    Ugh. So much to do. Too chaotic even to make a list... although we do have a packing list. I know I'm going to forget something important. :eek:
