Getting Things Done

 

First job this morning was to paint my plinth in the gallery..it has drawers that others can use, I painted the fronts of them out of the plinth body...I didn't want to have them painted in and stuck!!

Then to sort out broadband..so fortunate that EE has a shop on the high street...far easier to deal with. That got me a reduction.

Shopping next...spotted a few reduced prices and loyalty card offers on things I usually buy...and then feed the car!!

Then to the big box DiY store for drawer knobs. and glue, a countersink bit (cos I can't find mine 🙄) and plastic screw caps to hide the screws in my little plinth (which will go on the big one) Plus a tub for shifting compost...my wheelbarrow is propping up the back gate after all the storms.

Next to another supermarket..a couple of small good deals including organic milk reduced...and lunch! 

Then home...escape from all the rushing...

and tonight a phone call from EE..to improve my phone contract and further tweak the broadband.  It shows that it is better to deal with people instead of doing it online...it took a while for EE man to look through all the contract variations to find the right one. What chance would I have to get it right!

Even better, he found special offers on top of the good deal..saving more. Plus the timing means that I avoid the inflation price rise...

Not bad going!!

Then 2 pints of the milk started the process of of becoming yoghurt , and 2 pints went in the freezer. I've been lucky being in the right place at the right time...there are now three boxes of milk for yoghurt in the freezer!  You can't turn down a good deal when it us something you regularly buy anyway!
