I've failed to report my progress since Sunday. Monday was mainly about working on stage 2 of the digital photo storage project, now 36% completed. Tuesday, a tiny bit of time on digital photos, but I ended up spending most of the day chauffeuring for my extended family. Today I did the house insurance quotes, it looks like the renewal quote will be the best, I just have a couple of quick questions to ask them tomorrow.Baileys_Babe said:Today, I completed stage 1 of the digital photos storage project plus 12% of stage 2. Also the shower trap was cleared and the bath was dusted.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Another OAT for me - emailed the LPG company AGAIN (they got the refund amount wrong by several hundred pounds 😬)

Loading the dishwasher was this morning's OAT. Normally, I just do it without any problems, but for some reason, I really needed to force myself to load it and get it switched on.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

My holiday for July booked at my new employer (IMMEDIATELY followed by an email from the MD to all Managers saying no-one else can book that time off - whoops!
)
Rearranged Chloe's booster jab appointment by moving it on by one week as Mr KK is away this weekend at Beaulieu - peace and quiet for me ....

My husband put all his vinyl into the new sideboard. The storage boxes arrived from Amazon so I rearranged all the various random bits into the old record shelves. I had two spare boxes so I used them to hide the stuff on my kitchen cabinet. It looks so much better being hidden! I'm very pleased with that.

thank you Baileys Babe - that was really helpful. Job done - it didn't even get to an OAT status merely an Annoying Task.Baileys_Babe said:
If you have access to a printer @Blackcats here is the link to the paper form for a postal vote.Blackcats said:@redofromstart - I ironed my summer clothes today. Between you and me we have really raised the risk levels for the weather.
I've decided to wait to see if my dad gets a postal voting form by post 😉. It will be much easier to fill it in on paper. My dad is very alert and bright but at 97 he can't grasp some of the modern world. He would find it very difficult to understand why he was signing a blank piece of paper now in order to vote at a future election.
I must, must, must pot up my new plants tomorrow! Brownie's honour - makes the Brownie Guide salute to show that I am really committed to completing this task.7 -
