a wrap up of the day and my achievements.

make Rose two polar fleece jumpers
I made one! In the niftyest pattern. I'll do that again and it only took me an hour and a half, while I watched House

receive new washing machine and dryer
Arrived while Rose was sleeping - wasn't that convenient!

chase down white rabbit fur
See my last post. I'll probably order some of the cheaper, undyed fur. Unless someone comments here and persuades me not to.

buy wedding gift
I've organised the consortium and the purchase is just a formality. I'll send mr_bassman to do it tomorrow.

use new washing machine
Nappies, 3 loads of Festival wool and a load of whites later. The cycle time on the new front loader is longer than my old top loader, but it's quieter and makes a better worksurface.

tidy kitchen
I think I'd done most of this when I made the list - maybe I cheated.

sew together new kirtle - started mostly complete
I still need to overlock a couple of the seams, but it's all together and now I can start on the fiddly details.

sort finances
Ummm.... I think I'm avoiding this one. The longer I don't know that my finances are funiculated, the more comfortable my existence.

recuperate from very pleasant dinner last night

bond with Z who's coming over after school
Well, he came over. And took himself off to his room to play some game he's downloaded illegally from the internet. I guess we talked a bit over dinner and while I drove him to scouts. Better than not seeing him for a week anyway.

do some invest planning
Didn't happen

organise transport in Canberra on weekend
hire car booked!

The bit's I didn't list as goals, but did anyway;

Feed, change and put baby to sleep - several times.
Make dinner
Drive Z to scouts
Reload LJ friends page regularly
Check email regularly
Make several LJ posts
Finished my book (Anne's House of Dreams, a re-read of one of my comfort novels)

yes.

I'll confirm costs tomorrow after J buys it.
