Now that is an op target that doesn't make me cry!
if only life were that nice...
So. It seems that since my exam I've come down with post-exam-Alzhiemers. Can't remember a thing. I've wrote to do lists, and then forgot where I put them... my brain is full of holes.
Birthday party on Sunday for Giraffe. She'll be 3 :eek: when did that happen?!
Hoping that writing a to do list on here might help me remember?
- remortgage deal
- [STRIKE]ring bank[/STRIKE]/hmrc/[STRIKE]check old email address[/STRIKE]/apply for duk
- [STRIKE]party food - decide, buy and bake lollipop birthday cake[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]meeting with potential client[/STRIKE] [booked for Tuesday next week]
- [STRIKE]reconcile accounts/spreadsheets[/STRIKE]
- find brain
- order card blanks to make more Christmas cards - have made 6 and run out of cards
- buy Giraffe another birthday gift
Think that's all for now. Off to my parents with a birthday cake for my dad.Rule 7: If you're not changing it, you're choosing it.

Hello all. Been rather busy as client #1 had an emergency op (not baby related) and is still in hosp recovering. Have been helping where I can, plus obviously her birth, plus client #2's birth, and in between them it was Giraffe's birthday and birthday party. I'm also in the process of sorting out my self-employment again. So not been much time for mfw stuff

However, I think I'm getting sorted now. I spent yesterday sorting out SE stuff - turns out that when I "deregistered" as being self employed in Jan 2011, the lady who I spoke to cancelled my C2 NI contributions, and put a note on my account that I was no longer self-employed, but didn't actually process it in any form, so I've been self-employed for all this time. Up side of this is I don't have to re-register, just set up my NI DD again. Down side is I have to fill in a SA tax return for last year. Lady I spoke to last night couldn't explain why it hadn't been done correctly. !!!! up and brewery come to mind....!
So, having sorted out as much as I can for that at the moment, my next thing is to start looking into remortgaging. I also need to do our meal plans for the next month (this month's went a bit to pot over the past couple of weeks what with hospital trips and such like); move a bit of money about in our various pots and make sure the spreadsheet is up to date; sort out another year's worth of home insurance and... something else. :rotfl:
Hope everyone is well.Rule 7: If you're not changing it, you're choosing it.
