Breaking Through, Travelling On

I’ve no phone advice but just wanted to give moral support. My phone contacts etc is in such a state but I’m living with it!

Thanks both! I've no idea about the synching still - I'll press the yes button when I set up the new phone, but I think I'll be inputting everything manually there isn't that much, frankly :rotfl:

I bought the new one! It's "only" 8GB, but expandable to 128GB and I'll deffo expand it somewhat. Not done anything with it yet, I just wanted to get it under my belt. I also popped to M&S, just pulling things off the shelves without any real regard to prices, for my sister's birthday (today!) and it only came to £35, which was what I thought it would, so I'm happy.

I spent hours and hours yesterday integrating the genealogy certificates my mum had, with the ones that I have - she didn't give me copies of all that she had :rotfl: but I'd sorted all of hers for her a few years ago, so the integration was actually pretty simple, if long. That was a big win :beer:

Enjoy your m&s feast....sounds fab and a relative "bargain"!!

Enjoy the birthday feast

:hello: The little birthday feast went really well, thank you with leftover for my sister and a few things we didn't even open, so they can be put by for her 2nd celebration, a mystery event after which we're going back to her house :j

Today, I have a humogous list when does this ever stop? I have just:
- sent documentation of the two sets of probate cheques to my brother and sister.
- sent a few photos from yesterday to sister.
- put the washing machine on - the last of the clothes from my mum that we've allocated to me, giving it a good hot wash.

Out of a list of about 30 things this is what I've selected, that I really want to get done today:
- ring builder.
- ring brother.
- clean bathroom
- check telecom deal that include mobile/broadband/landline, to please my niece
- put washing away. And tidy. Again.
- email another rellie.
- take the "notes" off my old phone, t/f to laptop, there's a lot of stuff on there that I want to keep.
- I'm in the middle of checking scans of a particular photo album, I'd like to finish that so I can put it away.
- go for a good stiff walk - thats about building up my stamina, I don't feel I have the chronic fatigue any more :j:j:j but my stamina, even to be in company with people for longer than 4 hours or so, is utterly woeful.

Hmm, 9 items, I think - not a particularly round number, but I'll take it :rotfl:

Don't wear yourself out KC.

Good point, SHS I promise I'm taking care. Update:

- sent documentation of the two sets of probate cheques to my brother and sister.
- sent a few photos from yesterday to sister.
- put the washing machine on - the last of the clothes from my mum that we've allocated to me, giving it a good hot wash.

Out of a list of about 30 things this is the amended list of what I've done:
- ring builder.
- put washing away. And tidy. Again.
- take the "notes" off my old phone, t/f to laptop, there's a lot of stuff on there that I want to keep.
partly done, about a third.

Yeah. It's not a lot, is it! Cuppa tea, and off for that walk as soon as it stops raining, I think

It's plenty I think KC! :j As for whether it ever stops - I suspect not :rotfl: I remember once reading something I think the nice lady who writes the Down To Earth blog said about housework - it never actually ENDS, and it sabotages us to think about *having* to get to the end, because then we get annoyed if someone uses a cup and puts it in our nice clean sink, or something falls off a shelf and breaks and we have to clear it up She says 'if housework never ends, I never have to finish it' :j

Ah - I found it:

and a follow up here where she talks about splitting the day into segments and taking plenty of rest

Good luck with the rest of your list, and I'm glad you've stopped for a cuppa! :j

Oh thats good, Cheery! I like that It applies to stuff on the laptop, as well, for me and the genealogy files - there's always another blogpost to draft, always another set of photos to classify, always a bit more research to integrate into the story at large

I'm definitely doing most things I do because I like doing them :j except the annual accounts :eek:

Okay, list for the rest of today is to be amended. The only thing I *really* want to do is go for that walk, since I *did* manage to talk to my brother (who reminded me about security for the new phone, now its a proper smartphone!).

After that, I *want* to faff about with the rest of that photo album.

I don't think the builder will ring back today, but if he does, I won't answer - that will mean ten minutes of faffing over the diary, and it just won't be a good feeling.

Walking.
Photo albumming

:T



ETA broke that straight away - wanted to buy the new sim today done, am closing down :cool:

I think it applies to most things really ... we never actually get to the clean slate.
