Ramblings

Made a bolonaisey type concoction last night, which I've frozen, so I now have three/four easy meals in the freezer, which is good.

I didn't manage to take the rubbish down to the bins (if anyone sees me online this evening shout at me, because I must do that.

I have managed to lose my travel card, so getting to work/home this afternoon costs £4. Grr - I don't know what I might have done with it - I don't normally lose things like that, but it wasn't in any of the places it ought to have been when I looked for it this morning. I was pleasantly surprised when they said that a replacement costs £10 - so I don't have to spend £75 on a new one.

Ah well, will have a good look for it when I get in this evening. And I guess I do need some new passport photos, since I need one for the College of Law and one for my driving licence - since I've moved house I have to get a new driving licence, and now they're doing these photo card ones, I'm going to have to get one of those. But I first need to go and see about visitors' parking permits - because I think I need to show my licence to buy them. But I can't do that until tomorrow, cos I need either a council tax bill or a lease, neither of which I have atm.

Then I need to register with a doctor, book an eye test appointment
and find the local library.

I have, however, sorted out everything bill wise - water, electricity, gas and a telephone line.

Any tips on contents insurance would be good. As would any suggestions on how to store books, files, papery things etc in a flat that I'm going to be sharing with someone.

Going to bed when I'm on my own feels the weirdest - it's then that I notice that there's no one there but me - or the times when I start doing DIYey things and think - 'how long would it be before someone found me if I injured myself' - on that note I must go and introduce myself to my neighbours.

Now, on to dinner parties - who would like to come and visit me for an evening of food, drink and conversation (without any smoking, thanks for reminding me of that chocaholic7)?

*cue everyone running away 'cos they can't think of a more dreadful way to spend an evening*

There is something about the ringing of a telephone that goes right through me - I'm the only secretary in today, so all the phones are going crazy and I'm getting really pissed off, but no matter - just an hour to go.

Er, why would you need a driving licence to get *visitor's* parking permits? Are people who can't drive not allowed to have visitors that do?

I'm not very sure - you certainly need your driving licence, council tax bill/lease and vehicle registration documents to get a resident's parking permit, and the lady on the phone didn't differentiate too clearly when she started talking about visitor's permits. In any case, since all it means is waiting until tomorrow, and I can't even pick up an application form for a new driving licence until then anyway, it makes sense to go and get the parking permits first.
