Today I:
Decided what I needed to take to the party tonight (everyone is bringing something) and worked out how much it would cost on the Tesco.com website before leaving the house - only took the right money with me, no cards in sight £2.89 and all is ready to go!
Called water company to move over to water meter - arranged with call centre for someone to call me and arrange a house visit to check reading and ensure water meter is in good working order.
Made my new year resolutions.:wave:
