Travelling On

Karmacat

Oh that's interesting, Alchemilla!  So it's already a thing - and a company that size should have known about it, and applied it to clients.  She admitted that they'd ignored/ forgotten about the needs of their clients.

- get prepared to phone Sains, and then do it.
- email U3A space group, bro's trip down here clashes with our meeting.
- email nephews re bro's pressie.
- dw on.
- wm on.
- take living room curtains down to be washed
- ring bro about him helping me with sawing a bookcase up
- submit the French accounts if I have time.
- do the next bit of the money shuffle.
- clean hob.  Rice water overflowed twice, its disgusting. 
- start using the NW app, as it promises £1 a month simply for doing so
- start using the HW that I asked madvix about.  

Here's the amended list that I wrote yesterday evening.  Six items are bolded and done (though the email to the nephews is only drafted, not sent).  That's not bad, but I think I need to take a break now, the Sains thing took a lot out of me, no point denying it.  Good to get it done, though.


ETA on 16th Feb:
- video what I want bruv to do to the bookcase, and send it up there.
- research charging points, not just Tesla (we know where that, singular, is, but there are others that aren't *meant* for Tesla, but that Tesla can use.  I think.  Apparently.  
- make sure everything in the garden that can blow around has been put somewhere safe.

You have done a huge amount. Do give yourself a chance to relax now x

Thanks apple, I did, don't worry - I stopped at about 4.30 - I threw a meal together since then (pasta, frozen broccoli, feta, pesto) but thats all - I've mucked about on my laptop from my armchair, watched Death in Paradise on iplayer, its all good xx

I also had to show my passport on a video call - with the insurance brokerage handling my house insurance

Thank you all!  That's so interesting, when she asked me the question off the cuff, I thought I was being all entrepreneurial  and clever - turns out I was tuning in to the zeitgeist!  I'm very glad to hear it *is* a zeitgeist, she asked me to call again if I wanted, and while I don't think I'll call, I might well drop her an email.  So good to post here with people like you lovely lot 💚

As opposed to living the zeitgeist, my worries about having the double glazing bloke in here have been shown to be nonsense ... I'm glad I did the cleaning, mind you, but he wore a mask, as I'd requested he did, he was in and out in 5 minutes, he didn't touch anything unless he couldn't help it (like opening a window on the first floor to measure the outside), he was the same lovely person I remember from the other two times I've gone to his company.

Most of today has been clearing away and fretting about the double glazing, but I've also done these:
- take living room curtains down to be washed
- ring bro about him helping me with sawing a bookcase up

Bruv is fine doing the sawing, curtains are a bit problematic - mine are like these Kingfisher Peacock Eyelet Curtains | Dunelm but the curtains are trapped on the pole by big finials I can't currently unscrew.  I might try to take them outside when the rain's stopped tomorrow and see if I can unscrew them.  They've been up for ... 8 years  so they're incredibly dusty, I'm not doing that indoors.  

Still, that's another two done of the 12 jobs I posted yesterday.  Now at 66%.

You are shaming me. I'm going to have to wash some curtains.

Alchemilla

You are doing so well.

I am wary of washing curtains since the linings disintegrated on a pair of curtains from NEXT (it was the interlining and no way of fixing it without completely taking them apart). The dry cleaning bills can be horrendous though.
