chainmailmaiden's recent posting has prompted me to write a to-do list for myself (in no particular order).

1. Post parcels to grandmother (for 88th birthday), parents, didiusjulianus.
2. Send various emails to people from Portugal.
3. Sort out CD / DVD writing.
4. Back up my PC!!
5. Sort out Firefox problems.
6. Change outside light bulb.
7. Measure up conservatory for curtains.
8. Sort out dry cleaning (Creatrix can do this!)
9. Finish unpacking and putting things away.
10. Reply to stacks of emails.
11. Ring alarm company.
12. Polish shoes.
13. Shopping.
14. Sort out anti virus and firewall problems!!!
15. Ask Creatrix nicely to mend jacket.
16. Sort out things for eBay / charity shop.
17. Sort out books for TS.

Well, so far I've done 1 - 5, started 6, done 8, half done 10, emailed TS about 18.

Right, lightbulb here I come (the retaining screw holding the cover in place has rusted solid).

Neither dare I, well except partner and I have agreed we need to, cos otherwise we forget what the priorities are and footle instead.

SO who do you order mealworms from? (certain that TS isn't what I think it is)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

I've now told you where we get mealworms from. Actually, I believe they do a mealworm breeding kit, which is probably much cheaper in the long run, but Creatrix would freak out if I had that in the house.

TS probably is what you think it is; we're giving them some education-style books, because we're good, generous, self-sacrificing people who don't have enough bookshelves.

And thanks for #1

Actually, a good tip (well I think it is a good tip, am yet to fully implement) is to list what you get done, over quite a long period of time (week/month/year depending on size of project) because then you can see how far you have come.
