Friday 1st November

Hello November! Season of mists etc....

Or,

First of the month; time to do the end-of-October financial admin...


In order to get away from the temptations of the biscuit tin I settled at my worktable with laptop, mobile phone, heap of bills and statements, daybook and all important cup of tea.

The tea is a pre-reward, or maybe, sustenance for what is always a bit of a voyage. The daybook is a notebook for making notes of telephone calls, or things I am doing where I could do with having a record of the various steps and courses of action. A sort of tidier version of the notes-I-made-on-scraps-of-paper-subsequently-mislaid 'method' I used in the past. 

So I paid bills, checked statements and did all that sort of stuff.


About those biscuits... I'm pretty impressed with myself as I haven't been into that tin all day! Yesterday we had cinnamon croissant swirls at elevenses and then a Marks and Spencer Chinese Feast box for lunch, so a bit of self-control and moderation is rather necessary today!

  1. Having changed my phone, I spent ages trying to reconnect to Internet banking this week. I dislike this sort of admin intensely
