To-do list

My to-do list for yesterday read something like this:

• take Ben to school - check
• feed Jamie - check
• go to B&Q to get a couple of plumbing bits and pieces so T can finish putting the new sink in the bathroom - check
• feed Jamie - check
• washing, ironing, cleaning kitchen - check, check and check
• feed Jamie - check (you get the idea!)
• plant new hanging baskets - check
• work on latest magazine article - check
• catch up on emails - check
• go to PCworld to investigate new laptops because doing the last two items on the list on my five-year-old laptop was driving me crazy - ummmm.....check.....and I ended up buying a new one.....oops!

To be completely honest with myself it was pretty likely that I would end up buying one rather than just looking. In my defence I've been promising myself a new laptop for nearly a year as my old one if painfully slow - think over 10 minutes just for the laptop to load up properly plus another 10 minutes to get the internet loaded up, and editing photos on it is a nightmare.
 
Anyway, I love this one! For those of you interested in these things it's a HP Pavilion dv6 (I think I've got the right name!). For those of you who are more like me it's a dark metallic red, does everything I need it to, has a built in web cam so I can Skype my friend who's moving to New Zealand (what happened to moving to Reading Hellie?!?) and is lovely!
