    Go to HSBC and have a look at the state of play.
    Pay a couple of people off and line up others that need to be paid.
    Probably do a chart and report back here.
    Write some Thank you cards
    Write some Christmas cards
    Watch Dr Who.
    .

    Soooooooo...........

    Apart from feeling like I am living WITH the hoarder from next door (and I've only half emptied the car!!!) I got a good nights sleep under my two duvets :D Pinned to the bed a bit!

    Was SO SO Tired last night I was worried about walking across the road to get a takeaway, stopping for traffic and being found hours later asleep resting on a street lamp. Didn't go out to watch Gravity. Will catch later this week in 3D (if I can find my 3D glasses in amongst the boxes!

    Have been to the bank :beer:. Have moved my deposit - what is it that I feel naturally more comfortable in debt! BIT WEIRD if you ask me. It's like my natural persona.

    Have paid my dad £1k. That's not the right amount (you and him start screaming!)Waiting to hear that the payment I have made using the payee facility to a named payee has reached him. I think I'm ultra ultra cautious. Too many stories of people paying large sums into accounts and then finding it is the wrong account with no way to get it back.

    Have asked the removal folk for a receipt so I can claim £708 back - think that will go to Mr Branson's card. Need to do a summary to get focused.

    Have printed off bank statements and DDs to cross off and cancel and check. The TV licence looks like it is going to be the most difficult to cancel. Kept taking me round in a loop saying 'Are you sure you don't need a TV licence? Absolutely positive. Are you in a carnal relationship and sharing a sink with someone who has a TV licence?'

    Right off to round up my DDs and have a pint!

    So long as you're Leia and not the Wookie, then you'll be fine...

    Ah but Chewbacca wasn't in that scene! It was Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia (Skywalker)
