Working it out...

How do you do that strikethrough thing on here?? I was going to go back and cross things off my to-do list, only to realize that I don't know how!!

Well, I got through some of the main stuff...

Desk is cleaned.

Banking is mostly done. Bills are paid (except MasterCard because my own math doesn't make sense to me and I think I overpaid my share....shhhh....don't tell anyone I'm a bookkeeper!). Xmas funds have been put aside.

GST is all sorted out and filed online (however it's not paid because even though CRA says you can pay online, Royal Bank doesn't seem to support that option....but that's a rant I'm just not into ranting right now!).

DBF and I sent our list of MLS houses we want to see to our Halifax realtor (he already poo-poo'd two of them, but did offer up a few other options).

Thank you cards have been bought and I'm about to write them out when I'm done here. Hopefully I can find their addresses through information online.

I also bought new Xmas cards today, so maybe I'll work on my mailing list while watching TV tonight.

I didn't get the empties into the car yet, but I think I'll do that tomorrow. My official car-cleaning plan may get waylaid until we return because DBF still needs a new tire for his car, so it looks like doggy goes to daycare in my car. Boooo!

The househunting to-do list is a moot point now. We're ready to go. Mortgage sorted out. Realtor worked out. Inspector on call. Lawyer didn't call back, so nothing we can do until Monday now anyway. We just need to book our rental car tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will definitely put together those spreadsheets for the "wants" and "don't wants" for househunting. At least I was smart enough to print out the MLS listings of all of the houses we plan to look at....that's a start.

I did manage to add two more important things in too.... 1) remembered to ask the girl next door to look after my cat while we're away 2) gave myself a manicure.

DBF was very, very sick today so hopefully he kicks the bug overnight. Tomorrow we do these last minute things and pack for the trip. We're outta here on a 6:30am flight on Sunday morning!!
