Done an OAT (even though I’M ON HOLIDAY! 😉):

Logged into the local council website and confirmed our registration on the electoral register electronically, which means they won’t have to waste money on a paper version plus postage. Feeling like an upstanding citizen! 😉😂😊

Also did this the other day.

Need to check whether I've paid my tax bill, and sort out car insurance (runs out at the end of the month). But not tonight. Still unloading the second load from the DW and attempting to clear the kitchen up. Lots of stuff needs moving to the freezer and I need to prep vast numbers of courgettes to turn into curry to freeze before they rot.

Always do this but they still send out the paper versions!

So I got all the descaling done yesterday, and listed some more V*nt*d bits and remembered to make my appointment for pneumonia jab. Was very surprised when the receptionist said they had an appointment at 1.50pm today!  Was expecting to have to wait weeks.  So will pop down there in a bit, and drop off the CS stuff that never got taken yesterday.

@greenbee - I just did our car insurance through £co compare and they are doing £45 cashback at the moment

car insurance dealt with ✅
dad's tv licence renewed ✅
large item retrieved from garage ready to be ebayed ✅

MrBC to photograph and list item on eBay - likely to be carried forward to an Autumn version of this thread 😂

CS had a big sign up saying no more donations today, so will have to take it when I go to the next town for my line dancing class tomorrow, and drop it off at one of the CS's there.

Two OATS crossed off that have been on the list for some time - contact pension provider from an old previous employer to let them know that unfortunately I won't be retiring next month as their records show and asked them to amend to two years time. Also contacted an ancient benefits scheme Mr SA was in when he first started work, paperwork of which was buried under a pile of things to deal with, to update address as it was still showing the address he lived at with his parents back in the 80s. 

No idea why I'd been putting these things off because collectively they took 10 minutes tops.

Fabulous old OATing @Sun_Addict

I have not done anything outstanding but I have also not lost my temper or my mind dealing with build so counting that as a big win. For today. Making no promises for future days 😁

Took and held my temper through a call from the company that arranged our life insurance 5 years ago when we bought the house. As I predicted, at the start of the call … there was no possible saving on a new policy. A new policy would cost us an extra £15 pcm …! Nuh-huh! 🙄😂🤷‍♀️😉

I'd like to join you all to help me tackle my Oaty things. We have a storeage locker of stuff coming home in a few weeks so we agreed last weekend to go through the rest of the house and be ruthless while we still have a bit more room to manouvre. As a result my broken case and falling apart rucksack are in black bags ready for rubbish day on Friday. I've also listed two items on trash nothing. One of them is a bean bag cover we last used in 2009! Bit too stiff for beanbags now. I plan to tackle the next section at the bottom of the wardrobe on Friday. Need to keep at it.
