Breaking Through, Travelling On

Karmacat

Thanks Cheery you're right about the times, a couple of years drifting apart is nothing compared to the 25 years we were close.

I do regard coloured lists as your invention :j credit where its due

Talking of which, I understand now why I couldn't continue with my list yesterday afternoon - I'd literally not stepped outdoors, and I needed to - so I went to work on pruning and weeding, not any one area, just the worst bits that caught my eye still, it all adds up

Today, just a phone session at 3pm, so I *am* attacking the list, with w/m etc in the background. A ta-da list will be posted later

Okay, a first ta-da list, to keep me sane :

- w/m is on.
- meter reading done, eeeooonnnnnn points transferred into vouchers useable at Boots, Iceland, even JL
- booking at Scottish hotel confirmed
- taxi booked to get us from local train station to hotel.
- money is on its way to my current account to send a wodge to France for the mortgage.
- closed the few Am0z0n listings I have, don't want to go through the faff of sending something off in the next week. Will do lots more when I return.
- sent email as requested to ex-partner, heart in the mouth stuff.

Some good news - an online acquaintance told me he bought my kindle book, so I checked sales - another 5 sales this month :j if I paid attention to updating and promoting, there'd be more, I'm sure. A good omen for future writing :j

Off for a snack now in the fresh air.

Are you staying in NB or G?

Sorry to hear about your friend, KC. Although it wasn't unexpected, it still feels like a shock when it happens


I like the colour coding. As I haven't read diaries for a couple of days, I could see at a glance what things have been achieved relating to each of your aims. Very neat!


I like that the garden aims are green

Thats what I thought :j:j:j I've done almost an hour in the garden - cutting grass, pruning, starting to clear some paving stones that used to be decently laid enough to have their bbq on. No longer! But they will be again

Fantastic news on the extra book sales
There's a lot going on with the ta-da lists, love the colour coding.

Thanks EE

Just been making phone calls this morning at least that started the ball rolling of one of the items on my list.

Dealing with the collapsing shed has become a matter of urgency, as the first bit of the roof to be damaged has now fallen to the ground, inside the shed I subscribe to the crisis management version of gardening

Financial-freedom-actions:
- sent £2000 to France - I could delay another couple of months, even 5 months, but with the EU vote gearing up, and a currently attractive exchange rate at Transferwise, decided to do it now. I must input them as a payee on my bank account, I hate inputting those details on a one off!
- YouGov survey 50 points.
- paid cc
- signed my mother up to L'Occitane's promotion, to be picked up at Kings Cross (i.e. by me ). Everyone in the family loves it, including me
- have done the sly thing of logging in to a supermarket, setting up a basket and then "forgetting" to finish the order manipulative, moi?
- realised actions are colour coded red, **planning** is black. Will amend previous posts :o:rotfl:

When I was a teenager I had a chunky ballpoint pen that had 4 pens of different coloured ink within it. Just by clicking/twisting it was possible to write in red, blue, black or green:j. Being an avid writer of lists and such like I was in seventh heaven being able to colour code:rotfl:

They were much simpler times then, I was so easily pleased:)

Oddly enough CBC, someone rather senior had one of those in a work meeting today! :rotfl:



So much progress on your lists KC! :j Also impressed that you have colours that actually *mean* something - I confess mine were always just first thing red, second orange, (miss out yellow cos it's too pale), third green etc :rotfl:

I subscribe to 'crisis management' home-work sometimes too
