To Do List

Seeing as exams are over, and I'm having a rare night in, I thought I'd write my to-do list for the rest of my time in Manchester. And as I've packed up most of my stationery, I thought I'd do it online rather than on paper. Here goes:

1. Write to new landlord about arrangements for picking up keys, getting doorbell fixed, bringing extra furniture and being given a copy of the contract. Ought to have had one several months ago, so am worried that he's decided against letting us move in after all. I will cry if we don't get that flat, after all we went through... bring on July 1st (moving day!).
2. Pack up stuff. Bearing in mind that housemate-with-no-stuff managed to fill a car, I am worried this will take me some time. I am a serial hoarder, a serial shopper and I've taken over the living room as well as the kitchen and my room. I calculated earlier that my crap littering the living room is worth more than £1000. Which brings me on to...
3. Sort out contents insurance. I think a year's worth of good luck is probably all I'm gonna have.
4. Go into mobile phone shop and get new contract. Have been ignoring O2's mistakes for too long and I think it's time I was spending less than £45/month. Plus my phone is playing a mix-and-match game with all incoming texts, meaning it'll pick a random name out my phone book, tell me it's from them, and take the first half of one message and the second half of another and put them as one continuous text. Confuses the hell out of me.
5. Clean my car. Which will mean coming face to face with Freddy the spider that lives in my wing mirror, and Freddy Two on the boot. I hate spiders. Might pay my brother to do it at the weekend.
6. Book my MOT, and find a nice boy to come with me so as not to get ripped off by them charging me for the inevitable things that need fixing.
7. Pay my car tax, if the bloody DVLA will let me.
8. Take vaccination history to nursing agency so I can finally get my training done so I can actually start working sometime soon.
9. Pre-order Harry Potter from [generic online bookstore] so it can be delivered to me at summer school. Yes I am that sad. And that much of a traitor to a certain highstreet bookstore/newsagent/stationers that employed me for many a year. It's cheaper online.
10. Book doctors appointment so can be shouted at for not taking my iron, but be given some more, hopefully that tastes better.

This should keep me busy. However, I know full well that I'll do this instead:

1. Sleep until lunchtime
2. Watch Loose Women
3. Go on facebook
4. Go out and drink too much
5. Spend most of the next day feeling hungover
6. Occasionally manage to make it in for a shift with Students and Schools, only for wages not to cover the amount I spent on vodka the night before.
7. Have complete mad panic day before moving day and throw all possessions into bin bags which split whilst being carried upstairs to new flat.

Sigh.
